    Suggestions For Growth? (B2B)

    I have not posted here in ages but feel feel compelled to answer this one...

The amount of choice open to small business...

    Business Development Manager skills?

    I was just sorting my todo list for tomorrow and added "write a job specification for a business development manager" onto the bottom of it as we are about to start the process of recruiting in this area (I currently do it all!). Before I do I thought it would be worth asking the community here...

    Keeping personal separate from business

    People do business with people, I lock down my Facebook profiles but I would accept a friend request from anybody in business, I have nothing to hide! I think that open and honest approach is why people like doing business with me, at least I hope so!

    Adwords consultant prices ?

    I am going to tell you lot what I tell my clients. SEO as a profession is dead. Yes, that is correct! There is no longer a place for a profession that hides its tactics, refuses to report its methods and charges a monthly fee without explaining what they do. If you are speaking to an SEO...

    And this is why you should come and sit in my office for a month. We are not offering the same thing, you think we are, but we are not. What I offer is the ability for a business to connect with their customer base, to find new business opportunities and leads, to integrate online and offline...

    LinkedIn

    There have been a few blog posts doing the rounds recently about the benefits of adding massive numbers of connections, which is why this is happening. The more connections the more valuable the publishing feature is and the more prominent your profile is in search results - LinkedIn had a model...

    Help starting my web design business from home

    This thread demonstrates what real people with (in my case 18 years) experience have to contend with. The OP openly states he has no skills or knowledge, openly admits that he is not willing to educate himself and openly states he wants to take peoples money for something they can do themselves...

    Online marketing ideas?

    Well in this instance, it is not my clients site - I evaluated the site and proposed, but never won the project. But, yes, I have sent the link to him via PM, not wise to make it public :)

    Online marketing ideas?

    Traffic! A ton of it - seriously I checked it all myself, he had a LOT of pages on the site and was getting a lot of traffic and add clicks, it was very well designed as well.

    Online marketing ideas?

    I would have said exactly this, but I had a meeting with a chap a few weeks back to review a project to update his directory site. He had no technical knowledge and it was quite literally just a simple directory site, at its peak it was doing 3k a month on just addsense alone (and never under...

    Postcode map for google maps

    This is a bit of a task :) Polygon mapping might be one way but the challenge is the more lines you have the more the performance is hit, mapping out geographic regions will require a lot of lines, if you then factor in the whole of the UK it will just grind to a halt. The best approach is to...

    Microsoft office 365

    I would add another +1 here - I struggled with Google Business Apps for a year, trying to get my Outlook calendar, phone and everything in sync was a constant battle - Exchange on Office 365 just works, on everything, and it is cost equal. Here at Wattle we are Microsoft Partners and provide...

    Am I being left behind?

    This is the key thing here, granted there might have been verbal discussions, but the fact remains that this is not the OP's business, in any way! Be happy with your bonus I would say!
