I have not seen him on it yet but when he does I will make sure to unplug the headset. What could be better for the country than David Cameron listening listening to Adrian Gibbons!
I use the SWAT cds extensively for both my staff and me - brilliant. I listen to them on the way to work on the S1 Witney to Oxford bus. There are now a lot of commuters who know about the latest frsse!
Dear First tab I have to disagree with you. The rules are written by the members not the heirarchy becuase they lead to more referrals. It is up to members to grow their chapter not the area director. The sub is for admin.
I am getting very good work from BNI. Over the years i have been to numerous networking groups but have never got so much work as I have from BNI. The structure works really well and leads to more business.
Thanks David - I often thought we spoke the same sort of language (I used to lecture in money laundering for SWAT Uk and your answers to queries are very similar to mine). Do you fancy meeting up sometime?
Hi Della - thanks for the comment. It sounds like you are doing very well for a start up. The only comment I would make it is not necessary to increase your fees because you have offices or staff. The idea of offices and staff is that the process becomes more effecient. Also the price should be based on what the value you provide possibly tempered by "the going market rate".
I fully subscribe to the idea of ‘letting go of low value work’ or routine work. We have established an outsourcing division in India and are benefitting immensely from it. We are offering our outsourced services to other accountants also. Over the last 6 months we have generated lot of interest from accountants. We would be pleased to talk to anyone who wants more information. Details can be found on: http://www.smithkennedy.co.uk/outsourcing.asp
