Fully back in the land of the living last week and working long hours to catch up on the slacking of the previous week. Most of the week was spent working on a white label project where ostensibly another company has created the websites in question. We're happy to do this (as long as we are paid properly!) but it does have its own specific problems.
The most difficult issue is that when designing a new site there are always some elements where we ask "what do you think of this?" regarding the look or operation of some particular feature. When this is being passed via a third party bits get lost in translation resulting in the same element being redesigned a few times and also there are delays as messages get passed around. Never mind it's coming along and the project is looking good.
So what of the rest of the week? Some new contracts agreed and potential new clients to follow up. On the networking front there was Redcar Council's breakfast event which, as with many of these things, gives you a chance to chat with local businesses but ultimately it's the same faces every month and a nice chat. However, for serious networking that results in business we are part of BNI which is a referrals group and even though we haven't launched yet it's already more than paid my membership fee.
Our new BNI Links chapter will launch in Redcar on 4th September and be making a difference to the business of all our members. On Friday we all went and visited Harald chapter, a group that has passed nearly £4,000,000 of business in the last year, and enjoyed a great meeting, so thanks to all at Harald. Can't wait for our launch, great bunch of people and great businesses helping each other grow - get in touch if you want more business.
