    Marketing Manager Position - Hiring test

    MARKETING 
    Please be aware that being VC funded and a legit company means nothing. I know a guy who went to work, nearly for free, for foodpanda in Kuala Lumpur as a "business development management intern", the guy spend the days going door to door recruiting new restaurants. It's a great way to get...

    You Are About To See an EPIC Industry Change

    This is more of a cultural thing than a salary thing. True. In Portugal, the portuguese people rarely give tips, mainly because it was never that much of a culture here and becaue of the recent economic crisis . I agree that the cause of the Best Buy success was the change of behaviour from...

    Money System - What Are You Investing That's Getting 5% Return?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Would make more sense to get a student loan or something at reduced rate. Might be worthwhile for you guys in the US with ultra low rates. Just take into account having to pay it all if the P2P company goes to shit. 50k at 3-4% rates, lending at 13%, you can probably pay the principal just with...

    What you say makes complete sense, my business yearly ROI was over 200% for the past two years. But you can't always just throw cash in and expect the same returns. I do P2P because my business is seasonal, so apart from getting inventory ready and getting some improvements done, the money is...

    Right now my P2P loans are 50% on Mintos and 50% on Twino (also with buyback guarantee). You should also check Twino @GlobalWealth , they are doing 14.9% on long term loans. The buyback guarantee is on them, but they are owned by a bigger financial group FinaBay which looks really solid. I have...

    How to approach visitors through live chat

    PEOPLE 
    If you want to scale, chat support isn't the way to go. I went that road for a month or two, eventually I had better things to do, and after I stopped doing the conversion rate was the same. I was, however, able to get the biggest pain points and questions and make sure that that information...

    Already done. It's called Raize. 6 to 8% rates on companies with no personal guarantees, nah... The FB groups in themselves aren't legit, but there are a handful of people common to those groups that invest some nice amounts. Of course, there are risks associated and the companies being young...

    I don't have much experience but I have been following FB groups were there are some heavy investors. Have been following Bondora (the biggest and most known P2P lending platform here in EU), they have lots of problems with defaults. I'm a little bit biased because the FB groups are usually full...

    Mintos, specially looking into the car loans as there is a buyback guarentee, if the loan defaults 60+ days they will buy back your part. And Estateguru for RE loans.

    My dad won't let me leave school

    Had the same problem. Built the business anyway while going to college, eventually quit. Business generates enought money that my parents finally understood that, while a degree would be a good safety net (their saying), what I'm "getting paid" right now far exceeds the benefit of getting a...

    DOMINATE Speech via SIMPLE eye contact.

    I do this often, some weeks ago found a girl looking in traffic, I looked at her and crossed eye contacted and she didn't even flinch, I smiled and just stayed there gazing for what looked like 5 minutes (was actually like 10 seconds). About how to hold a conversation as an introvert, ask...
