    Hiring Nigerian Sales Appointment Setters

    MARKETING 
    One thing to bear in mind is they have frequent power outages. As in their entire grid collapses. Load shedding is almost a daily occurrence as their grid rations electricity with almost no notice. If your appointment setters are using online tools whilst talking to propects you might just want...

    How did Gary Halbert get sales figures for products?

    MARKETING 
    In the UK companies like Mintel have reports on all sectors and then by segmentation. They used to produce these reports in A4 book size and it would be like shelf of telephone books in the old days. Industries would purchase the ones relevant to data they wanted. Each book cost a lot. However...

    How did Gary Halbert get sales figures for products?

    MARKETING 
    If you just want a quick and free way to see what actually sells go to Amazon and click the bestseller button along the tool bar and select by category. eg If I click on baby products (on the UK site) the top 3 are all baby wipes. Factor in that only around 2% (if that) of people actually...

    Starting a car business

    IDEA SIDE HUSTLE 
    Look up Tom Hartley. First deal was a Range Rover in the 70s at the age of 12 and latest deal his dealership did 3 weeks ago was £500 million (Bernie Ecclestone's extensive collection) He would ask his dad to drive him to auctions and by age of 15 he had his own full time chauffeur to do it...

    Starting a car business

    IDEA SIDE HUSTLE 
    Surely you would go to an auction like BCA or look in Autotrader at the cheap cars, buy one, spruce it up and sell it. Then repeat. By the time you have done 4 or 5 you will start to have an idea of where you want to be going with it. No? Dan

    I have changed my idea. I saw a problem first hand for many people and are creating a solution.

    IDEA 
    Without knowing much about these things, it seems like a good idea to me. I vaguely recollect a girl I knew years ago had some sort of blanket that she threw over her horse in the summer which stayed cold for hours without her having to do anything to it. So whatever type of blanket it was...

    QUESTION 
    Look out the window. You live on a tiny island with a population of 8 million. How about a lack of space combined with air pollution, water pollution and waste management for starters? Dan

    Asking For A Genuine Feedback On The Offer

    IDEA 
    You have a couple of other spelling mistakes on your video too. (At 10s and 1m20s) That aside there is one thing I find incongruous. You have four services. Web Designers, Software Developers, Limousine Drivers and Boat Cruises. Seems like an odd mix and would make someone think 'Am I in the...

    Missed Marketing Opportunity? Or Strict Business? You Decide...

    MARKETING QUESTION 
    I would have just sent someone over to jump start your car. t's only a 1 minute job. To be honest, I think perhaps if you had just walked in someone would have done this for you. It's because you phoned the dynamic was slighty different but they could have just done it with a bit of thought. I...

    Peanut butter business - stick or twist?

    IDEA 
    What country are you in? Are you in the UK as I saw one of your posts has £££s in it. Eating Peanut Butter seems to me to be ingrained in American pysche. I had a quick look at consumption and they consume around $2 billion of the stuff a year. UK for example does $60 million It's not really a...

    A genuine question regarding lead generation, is word of mouth KING?

    QUESTION 
    They're only 'King' in the sense that they were generated for free and almost 100% certain to purchase from you. Things like ebay, Google, Amazon, Uber, Facebook spread rapidly by WOM but you have to remember no one had to give them a penny to use their websites. Unless you only need a couple...
