Whilst my telemarketer yesterday was just plain tedious, it’s nothing compared to the brilliant insult from this telemarketer when the poor guy on the other end (who has hearing problems) can’t understand the question. The telemarketer is from a business called Blue Print Web Marketing. Right now the guys at Blue Print Web Marketing are […]

Do You Ask This Question?
The person from the directory who annoyed me for 10 minutes has made me think of something we should all do when calling someone. on the phone. We should ask them 1 question right at the start. And that question is this: Have you got some time to talk, or should I call back at […]
Different Strokes For Different Folks
As I mentioned below, I’m currently running a few SitePoint contests for designs. I’m managing a couple of the contests and I’ve seen a few different strategies used by contestants: the entrant who sent me a private message saying he’ll design the web site for free if I choose his logo (it was an excellent […]
How To Get A Date With This Woman – Or Sell More Stuff
I do a few interviews around the place and have just been asked to do another. I know the guy who asked and he asked perfectly: “…….would you like to be interviewed on xxxxxxxxx sometime? It’ll be good for your ego, you’ll get free backlinks, and you’ll get extra fame!” See that? He’s asked me […]

Basically what happens at networking functions is people push their business card onto you and try and sell you stuff. It’s desperate […]
What You Can Learn From What Athletes Don’t Do
Years ago I managed top class athletes, and given advice to a few more. These days I managed a couple of sites that sponsor athletes so get to see the occasional bit of info sent through. One client has one athlete who is excellent at reporting, the rest are terrible. As A Sponsored Athlete Here […]
Read This – It Ain’t Half Bad
I think I’m a bad writer. I think just about anyone can write better than me. There are usually typos galore until my proofreader gets hold of what I write. The very gentle Martha wrote me just today to help me by letting me know I had 3 obvious typos in my last newsletter. That’s […]
