How to advertise

Date: September
In this 'how to' intelligence report we are going to look at one of the most contested issues in marketing... Advertising.


Customers, What do they know!

A flexible relationship with your accountant could save your business a fortune.

Date: June
Let’s be totally honest with ourselves if you are a well established company or contemplating setting up in business for yourself the relationship with your accountant will probably not be at the very top of your priority list. Compared with the likes of marketing, business coaching and motivational gurus we accountants do not have the exciting and sexy edge that these others do but we can handle this - we don’t mind because if there is a problem with your business i.e. a breakdown in the relationship with the company’s bankers or the possibility of a blip in your cash flow position who will likely be at the top of your must call list?? Yes probably your accountant!

We were having in a chat over coffee when he leaned closer and asked,”Geoff, how much should you pay someone?”


Negotiation – How it can work for you and the secrets they don’t teach.

Date: March
The thing with negotiation is that we have all been doing it all our lives. As children we tried to get bedtime delayed by half an hour as teenagers we tried to get our allowances increased and as adults we try to get wage rises, buy houses and cars etc. In almost every aspect of your life you are forced to negotiate in some way at some level. This report discusses some of the ways you can improve your skills and become a better negotiator.


Not understanding the difference between marketing and advertising could sink your company.

Date: February
The problem arises because there is no clear commonly agreed definition on what the role of marketing is. Yet it is commonly regarded as the most important role in a business. Good old Wikipedia has a crack at a definition: “...the social and managerial processes by which goods (products or services) and value are exchanged in order to fulfill the needs and wants of individuals or groups.”


Do less in 2007 and Earn More

Date: January
There was a film called “Multiplicity” staring Michael Keaton as a scientist who cloned himself to get all he needed to do, done. Sometimes with the number of hours we have to work it seems that this is the only way to cover everything but of course that is not possible....or is it?
