    Cold calling vs targeted emails

    As mentioned, unfortunately it is trial and error and what works for one will not work for someone else. I prefer a targeted email and then a call the next day. The most important thing is not to give up, it is very frustrating cold calling, i would try to start with an easy one first.

    The best possible way to sell my services?

    a good way to start is look at what your competitors are doing and mirror that. A good product that has a need and a want is a must, if it is desireable as well more the better. The downside is that without someone selling you are not going to sell anything. The panacea for us all is to get...

    Unique products,services or brands. How important is that today.

    At the end of the day people buy from people. The product you are selling has to meet the business need, do the job it is supposed to do and meet the budget. If you meet all three then there is a good chance the customer will buy.

    Small Business IT Priorities - Help needed!

    I think that a lot of the things we are hearing about Cloud are historic. Whilst i still think you have to be carefull about how you use it, there is a use for it. It is like everything in IT now, you have to look at the business need and budget then get the best solution that fits.

    0845 or local telephone

    Sometimes you can get poor quality with VoIP but if you have enough bandwidth - you need 100K of upload bandwidth per call and you set Quality of Service for Voice on your router then you will get good quality. I use a hosted VoIP phone from home and have no problems.

    Small Business IT Priorities - Help needed!

    I think what has been said before has a lot of merit. From my perpective, i would look at what would happen to the business if certain things were to fail. i.e if you couldnt access the Internet or email for a day what impact would it have on your company? you could look at suscription based...

    0845 or local telephone

    You could also try porting your local number onto a Internet platform such as Voip.co.uk or Gamma. Then you can add as many local geographical numbers as you wish and they will all come into your head office. It gives you the appearance of a much larger company and local.
