Paul Stop Following Paul Andrews  •  On the show tomorrow I'm joined in the studio by co presenter Jo Dodds with our other co presenter Audra Lamoon doing a phone link our studio guest is Sean Stevens of Dino Collections talking all things credit control .

I'm a big believer in the importance of credit control procedures for small businesses. It just feels too personal for a lot of business owners to chase for outstanding invoices. A good system depersonalises it. If everyone gets a reminder letter/call on day x and day y and a more formal letter if needed on day z, then time isn't wasted worrying. If there's a legitimate reason for the delay, there's always room for flexibility and understandin...

I was interested to read the following statement on the  Mailchimp website.  "Forbes Media in Feb/March 2009 reveals that email and e-newsletter marketing is considered the second most effective tool for generating conversions (that means customers)—just behind Search Engine Optimization." People are often quick to dismiss email marketing, but it's a good way to make sure people remember your business!  Free auto-responders like  Mailchimp  are definitely worth giving a try. Having a go at email marketing is a bit more accessible to most people than SEO.  If you've had a look at Mailchimp and think it's a step too far for you, why not make a commitment to make better use of the email function of LinkedIn or look through your contacts to find people to write individual emails to?  Maggie Langley Virtual Assistant / Founder OfficeHounds   Office  08432 891246  Mobile 07789 682960 maggie@officehounds.co.uk www.officehounds.co.uk

I was just sent a really interesting email from the Iowa Democrats, and I thought I'd share an excerpt with you. It certainly makes me proud to be from Iowa. We brought you Bill Bryson, Field of Dreams and now we're a green, not mean, growing machine. . .(powered by windmills of course!)  Governor Culver’s address highlighted why the condition of the state [Iowa] is so strong today: “Today, Iowa is number one in the nation in renewable energy. We now generate 20 percent of our power from renewable sources, up from just 5 percent four years ago.” “Today, we are number one in the nation in children’s health insurance. No state has done more to cover kids in the last four years. We’ve added 58,000 kids to the rolls, and as a result 99 percent of Iowa’s children are now getting basic health care services.” “During the last three years alone, 23,000 additional children have been enrolled in early childhood education programs. As a result, 90 percent of 4 year olds now have the ...
