i agree with john, its all nonsense, they specsficly target new buisness because they know they want and need work, its simple for them..

'promise them work and take there money'

thats about the top and bottom of it!

Tell them if they get you work then you will pay them commission and hear their reaction!

Ive read posts about this before. everybody says its a bad idea, but I cannot recall anyone who has tried it.

So if anyone has a spare £400 perhaps they would like to give it try and report back.

 

Please do not act on this.

Ian,  I used to be in a franchise and many colleagues tried directories for The Fire Service, local hospitals, this, that and the other and while they all promised "a massive boost to your business" or similar cobblers, none of them ever gave a worthwhile return.

I very much doubt if the position has changed, if they were such a great success the plumbers, roofers, joiners, builders, glaziers, driving instructors and all the other local businessmen and women we all know would be raving about them.

Same with charity/volunteer etc directories, why give £100 - £200 a year to get in a directory which brings in nothing for you and 60% of the money to the directory producer. Give the money straight to the organisation and see a far greater % of the money used in the local community.

Here endeth today's sermon! 

Edit: 3.30 pm and just had one on the phone supposedly from the Fire Brigade! Before he could start, "No thanks I don't want to go in your directory", the b****** hung up without another word.

If you want to find out about new businesses (or relocating) just keep an eye on the jobs section of your local paper; anyone recruiting loads of staff has new premises (and no cleaning contract) so get round there!

Local paper..... 28p. Well cheaper than "partners in business".

i come to notice when these, lets face it con men phone up trying to sell cr*p, soon as they see your a no go they hang up!

obvously they feel it takes to long to say good buy when they could be persuding another punter to part with there money, so i found the best way to annoy them is let them go on and on there sales pitch i even put the phone down for a bit letting them carry on, then after 5-10 mins tell them no.

they hate it!!!

waste there time!!

and these people know that. PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE DONT GIVE THEM A PENNY
