Practitioner's Diary

It's hard enough to win new clients, but if you're also losing existing clients it really piles on the pressure.

Reading through some job applications over the weekend I spotted a potential howler among the CVs, which actually has a more general lesson for businesses.

I don't normally do this, but ...

Just occasionally I have to do a bit of very basic bookkeeping.

A job too far!

Needing to fill a clerical vacancy, I thought why not advertise at the Job Centre and save the cost of newspaper advertising or agency commission?

I soon learned why not.

It's too quiet

A month into RTI and it seems far too quiet out there in client-land.

How do you record work done - not just time?

Looking at my work in progress report the other day, I had one of those "there must be a better way" moments.

When First Class isn't good enough

Or rather, when isn't First Class good enough?

Am I interested?

They're all at it, and it's driven me mad.

Spring is sprung!

And suddenly loads of clients are either moving house or remortgaging.

Thanks George

Thanks for nothing - in a good way though! I can remember working the phone flat out for days after some Budgets, but not this year.
