The spring 2008 sessions of the ‘What’s stopping you?’ event has kicked off again starting in Crawley last week. Again, another great audience who were keen and kept the presentation interactive (yesss!).

Love ‘em or Lose ‘em

I’ve had a slim yellow book in my bag which talks about getting good people to stay since the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference back in Boston (2006!) which I got when I sat in on a seminar with my friend Matt. Finally, a few days ago I got to reading it and as usual penned plenty of […]

Just because it’s on the Internet doesn’t make it right…

I remember when I was at school and the Internet was beginning to become more popular with the general public. Whilst Instant Messaging hadn’t taken off then to the degree it has now, my dad and the likes were using Bulletin Boards to communicate with those who shared similar interests.

Pause for thought

This is the first time that I have been able to sit down and compose a long(ish) post since those few hours I spent sitting in Starbucks in Heathrow Airport.
I’m usually quite honest on my blog and I felt that this post would be no different.

Consistent Service

One of the things I will talk about at the Small Business Symposium in Denver is about maintaining consistent service with your customers.
