Today's Top Dog Tip - Don't Pretend You're Perfect

Don't pretend you're perfect. 

I have come across a lot of people who work very hard to create the impression of a successful, thriving business when they are actually struggling to keep going. I find this upsetting. 

When we network and meet other business owners it is important to be impressive. After all to win new work, we need to make a good impression on potential customers, but we don't need to be perfect. 

I have gained much more help, support and knowledge by being upfront about what I'm good at and what I need help with. 

The perfectionist's path is paved with guilt and disappointment. 

Join me on the flawed and fabulous freeway. . .ok 'motorway' for you Brits. (Freeway has a better ring to it. . .motorway just makes us think of that endless ring the M25!)

Happy Flawed Friday!

B2B Email Marketing Myth

I have read conflicting information about whether it is acceptable to send unsolicited emails to businesses in the UK.  According to the I nformation Commissioner's Office , "Corporate subscribers - The rules on email do not apply to emails sent to organisations except that you must still identify yourself and provide an address." This information is readily available in their  Data Protection Good Practice Note Electronic mail marketing I also contacted Business Link regarding this matter, and the person I spoke with confirmed that it is acceptable to send unsolicited emails to businesses in the UK.
