Talking Trade -www.talkingtrade.com - We have all listened to a presentation, speech or sales pitch - we've probably heard better Best Man speeches than some so-called professional public speakers too!.I recently paid good money to listen to an epert talk about Stake Holder Pensions. The boof tricks he brought with him could put a West End show to shame. Powerpoint presentation, light and smoke effects, giant screen and superb sound with laser shows - but boy did he foul up on his presentation. His confidence was excellent and his words were succinct, but something else was missing. I still recall the displays but his presentation was lost.

 

Telecom Plus - www.telecomplus.com - Making Money Working From Home and Avoiding The Scams. Second incomes that promise fortunes have been around forever and generally only those that invent the scam reap the rewards from such business opportunities. Not all business opportunities are scams and a great many are backed by massive cash rich companies, indexed much of our high street can be taken up by franchises which are run by husband and wife teams. To run a successful business from home we need a few very important elements. The most important being merchandise, what do you sell?. Sadly this can be the downfall too because many home based business opportunity vendors want you to purchase massive stock levels because they make their money from the opportunity start-up rather than the income generated from it. So to avoid a scam, don't buy vast amounts of stock - in fact avoid buying stock at all unless you really need to. Look for a business that requires no stock investment. Look for corporate image, all solid companies jealously guard there corporate image and ensure there logo and colours are used throught any marketing material.

Total Fleet Services - www.lease-hire.co.uk - If you are older than forty you may remember the 'Running In' sticker - (and the Esso Tiger's tail) now the message on the majority of new cars tells us that it is a Lease Hire, Contract Hire, Personal Lease, Contract Lease or supplied by a Total Fleet Service company. What does it all mean? Logic tells me that it can't be that difficult to grasp because all the new cars seem to be connected with leasing. I know that for many years companies leased their cars, vans and trucks via a finance company and usually your company car was leased because it was cost effective for your employer - although the taadvantages today are not the same. I wondered whether all these phrases like Contract Lease, Contract Hire, Personal Lease, Personal Hire, Lease Hire, Finance Lease, Leaseback, Contract Purchase etc all meant the same thing and simply represented brand names or phrases to confuse car buyers. I want a new car, I want to change it in say three years without losing fortunes but I am shy of high pressure car sales people - so the last thing I want to do is interupt a new car salesman to ask him for an idiots guide to car leasing.
