Oh didn’t we do well

Sometimes in business, you are faced with decision you may not want to face, but you just know you have got to. I think the big thing is when you make the decision; do you do it now or later? I think the answer is there may never be a good time; however not acting at all is a far worse scenario.

Kevin and I had been racking our brains over when to launch different parts of the advertising media package that we have created. I have to say at this point, when I say we, what I meant to say was, I have some great ideas. Poor old Kevin is just left to sort out the hard work and programming in the back ground.

I supposed I really ought to bring you right up to date on where we are at this point.

1) Our first Breakfast Meeting is up and running, and heading in the right direction.

2) The Coffee Morning is still growing, with lots of new businesses.

3) The main website has had a massive overhaul.

4) The Networking section is now working in the back office.

5) Members can pass building blocks via the networking section.

6) The search engine has gained a FREE listing for any business.

7) Silver members now have their banners appearing FREE on the sites.

8) Telesales ladies are busy on the phones to get people to events.

Just leaving piste et resistance to the end (more programming for poor old Kevin) the new social media site for the public. This will be a great site for our members who want to advertise to the public, because they can have their banners all over the site at no extra cost to them.

After that, it then just leaves The Advantage our own newsletter that will be dropped to both businesses and public alike, on a monthly bases. Again all members will get listed for FREE in this, but silver members will get a quarter page advert for the first month of them joining for FREE.


That must all lead towards one thing; we are almost there.

Yesterday I received a testimonial from ALB Couriers, I will let you read it, this really made my day!

Hello Mark

Just a note to thank you for the wonderful testimonial you sent me, as you know today was the day of my business funding meeting with my business adviser, who turned out to be 2 guys from deloitte and touché. The result of this 2 hour meeting was that D&T are funding my new courier business with a loan of £7500 pounds.

As you can imagine, I am ecstatic at the outcome of this meeting and I don’t mind admitting \I was a tad nervous, but after I gave my introductory speech about ALB Couriers and handed out your testimonial ( about which they were very impressed with) I happened to mention that your testimonial will be the first of many not all from you but other companies, !!!!! I started to relax and answer all their questions, all my hard work, research, and enthusiasm over the last 12 months has finally paid dividends.

They were very impressed with the concept behind ABC advantage and they practically told me to get in and join.

Once the paperwork has been finalised the cash will be in my account in about 5 - 10 days then I will immediately sign up with ABC advantage and attend my first breakfast club meeting in Bury St Edmunds. Oh and start work!!

On a final note, I want to thank you for all the help and advice you have given me over the last few months and I look forward to having a happy and prosperous business relationship with you and ABC advantage.

Kind Regards
Tony
