No Hydro not at all, I already do telesales for other industries, so im tied up with that.  Im only putting forward a suggestion based on my experiences of what people may need.  Its the same problems that keep arising it seems. 

Its only a service if people wanted to use it, choice really.

Suppose it would be like a business support service and people could choose the level.

Guys,

How do you think companies grow?

They grow by putting themselves out there and marketing. I am not talking about one man bands but as you rightly say, not everyone on here is one of those.

When you started out in business, did you just wait for the phone to ring or did you go "knocking doors"?

Kate asked for an opinion. Yes, you could call it a sales ploy but she may not.

[dai]

If you are prepared to pay 5 times the monthly value for work, and Kate can get you good work for say three times value, surely it makes sense to use her service.
If she is prepared to work on a percentage basis, the more you have to pay her, the more your business is growing.
Bottom line is , Can Jane make you money?

[Dave Willis]

Who?

Hi Kate,

Why has my question not been answered?

We were all set for you to do tele sales for me, and then I get an email saying you can't do it.

Then, 2 months later you are back on here looking for work?

[Kate2]

JR, no problem will answer that.

I initially never intended to do any calls for anybody.  Then I got a bit bombarded.  Whilst doing the calls, and speaking to people I was working for - same sort of issues kept arising, so that then led me to the thought of maybe offering business support, ie marketing, debt chasing amongst other things.  But I wanted to take a step back, been doing this for 20 years and making 150 calls plus every day day in day out was getting a bit wearing.  I cant do it all on my own, so a bit of a regroup and thoughts about setting up a small call centre.  But I just needed to establish a need for these kind of services.  Been toying with the idea for a little while.

So jr waited for two months and now your back on here and he finds you, for you to tell him why. (after agreeing to do some work for him)

I hope your communication improves for the new venture.

Hi Steve,
I read it as jr did not get a reason, just a email and then 2 months later Kate is airing a new venture.
Lee

[Steve CM]

from what i read i think she sent an email saying couldn't do it. if it was due to high demand then maybe she could of mentioned that if she didn't but from what i read he got an email

[jr windows]

We had sorted out areas, what type of work to target. I thought we had got it all sorted. Then a week later I got an email saying sorry I'm not doing this type of work anymore. I was puzzled. So I spoke to the guy who Kate gets her data off so I could do some calls, and got told the data lists are approx 12 months old, so I didn't bother.

[Clive McDonald]

Of Course Kate can ask the question because it's an interesting topic- something for us to argue about, or debate which is what people do on a forum.Kate comes as being good at what she does.Plus marketing knowledgeable across a number of industries. As we all know being on here can get aggravating, and we can be a tough crowd.My view was and is a little time spent studying george or wcp would be time well spent.


The window cleaning coach(mentioned)- was very entertaining.His business was selling E books, if he could get the core data off us he could then resell it to his fellow yanks(i know canadian).But the coach didn't understand the repeat concept we have in the UK, or the differences WFP make.

[Kate2]

Thats very kind of you Slump

[Clive McDonald]

And if you think here is hard, they're not exactly all mates together on dragons den either.Jame Caan, had he been on this forum he would have got both barrels off me for one, trying to buy a baby indeed.Seeing the chance in anothers misery more like. He's gone, whatever their terminology is for deleted his account,walked the plank whatever.Bannantyne hadn't spoken to him for a year apparently over a row about being a non dom. Good old Bannatyne, a toughie but a goodie.Would have been nice if one of his fellows had given him the severe tongue thrashing that he so richly deserved at the time though.

[A & J Owen Window Cleaning]

whats the package then kate seems a good sales idea does this involve canvassing too

[Kate2]

Hi AJ

Im only at the moment doing market research and trying to establish a need.

Without a need, theres no business.

Sorry AJ yes sure there would be canvassing but only commercial

[Edge Clean]

Kate,

I have emailed you my contact details, I got an idea i would like to discuss with you.
