Hi all, A friend of a good friend of mine has gone missing. As there are a lot of members spread out all over the country, I thought people could please read the following and keep an eye out for him. Perhaps if you have a facebook account you could post this link on it, http://www.rte.i...

Lots of helpful advice there, Mairead. It always was hard to find out what you are entitled to and there was and still is (in a lot of offices) the attitude that you shouldn't really be applying for whichever assistance you are entitled to unless you are seriously on your uppers (as in practically h...

I agree that you should avoid fax marketing at all costs!

Any form of marketing that costs the recipient money and effort is a bit of a disaster when you think about it:) Especially if they didn't ask to be sent stuff!

It would really annoy me and definitely stop me using the service advertised!

That's interesting Bryan... We've never enjoyed cold calling, or had a lot of success with it! Maybe your technique is just way better than ours... as long as it works! We tried advertising in the early days, and found that to be nearly a total waste of time. Generally, we find word of mouth, and to...

You do control the content more in a blog, but you also have to provide it! On the other hand, if you create a forum, you're inviting others to create the content. A successful bog needs a steady stream of outstanding content to attract enough visitors to satisfy potential advertisers... which is qu...

I'm sure it would be a great place to offer rides!
Think how many kids are at car boots with money burning a hole in their pockets

Hi Cathy, Just spotted this now... if you've already had your weekend, I hope you all had a great time! If not, the Dublin Pass might be worth looking at: http://www.dublinpass.ie/dublinpass/ It's so easy to miss the things that are going on on your doorstep! We've just spent a weekend in Dublin wit...

Hi Lisa,

The best of luck with the courses, and the parties, both of which seem very reasonably priced. I know my daughter would have loved them when she was that age!

Hi M, I was also wondering how you'd got on, as it's an interesting topic... I think you're always doing the right thing coming straight out and discussing the problem. Whether it solves the problem or not, at least you've tackled it... It assures the person involved that you are willing to hear the...

Again, it's not the fact that they used the information from the CRO that I'd object to, but rather what they did with it. To imply, even in a roundabout way, that they were in some with associated with, or authorised by, the CRO is misleading. Unfortunately, for every 10 or 50 or 100 understandably...

Hi Sheeba, and welcome :) I learnt a lot of first aid as a kid, but I'm not sure how much I remember of it now... do you find mostly people come to you for training to comply with regulations, or do many come from general interest and a wish to learn? Good luck with the expansion, it sounds like you...

BTW Éadaoin, I'd already sent them 2 emails which bounced back to me and the office number is an English number and is a voicemail referring you to their freephone number.

Nice
Hope you managed to get it sorted or replaced...?

view networking as a chat to see if you have any common ground with someone or if you can help them in anyway, such as recommending a colleague, a book or a website to them I really like this approach. It has two benefits: 1. It's much more pleasant for whoever's on the receiving end, and 2. it tak...

Hi Alice, and welcome

The very best of luck with the business!

You have a very well-travelled cat I hope Ireland is measuring up well!

Hi all, Just thought people might be interested in this: Due to the interest shown in the "Spirit of Entrepreneurship Evening" in Sept 2008, the Innovation in Business Centre at GMIT Castlebar will be holding another event on Thursday the 10th Sept at 6pm. John Quinn, founder of Surface Po...
