    Pounding the streets for a Foundation Job

    SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    Unless you have a history of crashing cars, insurance won't be as much as you think. If you can't be arsed with the rigamorale of searching online and filling in all those forms to get a quote, just walk into somewhere like A Plan and let them find you something even if it costs you a bit in...

    Users db: Time vs Control

    SAAS / APPS 
    I have no idea what you are talking about by the way so take this with a pinch of salt, but I'm not sure I would classify a week as a time problem to have something you are happy with that you control. Other than that @nikola314 suggestion seems reasonable doesn't it as a stop gap? Dan

    Helping Engineers pass their professional exams (but this time I'm actually making sales)

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    I might be wrong here, bear in mind my location, but would this be the sort of thing I was alluding to? https://account.ncees.org/exam-prep?_gl=1*bs1qli*_ga*MTQyNjA1Mzc0OS4xNzYzMDY4NzUz*_ga_B03XZ4F5W7*czE3NjMwNjg3NTIkbzEkZzEkdDE3NjMwNjg5NTEkajIyJGwwJGgw Which I got from this page as you...

    Helping Engineers pass their professional exams (but this time I'm actually making sales)

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    I don't know if this is helpful, but in the UK 16 year olds do exams and I used to direct them to a maths website that simply had past papers from the exam boards. I'm going to take a wild guess the FE thing you are talking about doesn't change much from year to year either. ie Content is the...

    Neb, UK, originally South Europe

    INTRO 
    Hi Neb I don't know if this is some American jargon, but if you told a business in the UK you are a Systemologist it would mean nothing. Whatever you're offering to a business should be crystal clear. Who is your ideal market, what it is that you do, what benefit that offering can do for their...

    Freelance optician

    - AI - 
    No you don't need to code. Which industry is in decline? Opticians as per your thread title or yoga as per your actual post? The former certainly isn't in an aging world and I doubt yoga will suddenly cease to exist after 3000 odd years. Dan

    AI Is Changing Everything—Does Digital Marketing Still Have a Future?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    AI is digital, therefore marketing in a way that takes that into account would be a good idea. They're not mutually exclusive. My cousin has paid subscriptions to these things and when he went on a work conference in August, the Agent did everything for him. Booked flights and hotels and...

    Big Fish in a Small Pond or Small Fish in a Big One? What Builds You Faster?

    INTRO 
    If you now tell yourself that you are: 1) In the Logistics business (you're simply moving something from a to b) 2) Milton Keynes is a major logistics hub in the UK (MK to Lutterworth 30 miles up the M1 from you being the largest) 3) It's a £170 billion sector to the UK and will be £200...

    Brand Strategy Pricing

    MARKETING 
    Bet you don't know what it looks like off the top of your head but what is Sony's logo? And now you have Googled it, do you really need anyone to overthink a brand design for you? Dan

    Big Fish in a Small Pond or Small Fish in a Big One? What Builds You Faster?

    INTRO 
    Out of interest, in which sector is the company you are working for in, and which town is it located in? If it was a curtain pole factory in Scunthorpe then I too would move. If it's Biotech in Oxford then no need to move. I have to say I would rather be positioned in a company in a growing...

    Deaf market feasibility as a first time entrepreneur?

    QUESTION 
    What would your family have liked to have at school to help? There are SEN schools near me for children who have disabilities beyond what a mainstream State school can accommodate and they presumably update all of their resources on a regular basis, from physical to software. Some of those...

    How do I connect the dots? - Wanting to make a change in my industry

    IDEA 
    I don't have any real thoughts so my apologies, this is just waffle. :) I can't imagine any coach driver in the UK not knowing where they will be parking or picking up/dropping people off. I also can't imagine the driver doing anything other than the driving. The tour company is the one who...

    Pouring money down the Google Ads drain

    MARKETING 
    Try flyers for a local service. I don't know what they cost where you live but they can't be much for 1000 or even 5000 and you can get them delivered exacty where you want them delivered. Look up Direct Response flyer examples to get an idea on key elements. Dan

    The Broke Accountant

    HOT! INTRO 
    Whether older accountants in your country like automation or not is irrelevant really. It's here. Younger business owners will be using automation tools and expect their accountants to be using them as well. If you can automate as much as your mothers business as possible and then work with...

    MJ should I go university?

    INTRO 
    I imagine he will link to a thread called The Forum can't decide for you. Or something like that. Which is true. Having said that, a couple of things. University fees are approx £9500k a year. The living costs are a Red Herring. You have them anyway. Food, clothes, Wi-Fi, socialising, Hobbies...

    Business naming ideas/feedback please

    IDEA 
    I would call it 'Mac n Tease' myself. Allows for multiple cheese or topping variations. Your teasing the tastebuds and of course in UK you can do a lot with the word tease for Advertising/Imagry can't you ? St Trinians 6th Form. ;) Dan

    Sweet, Sweet Victory! - New Web Design & SEO Services Client.

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Hopefully you now have a spreadsheet to keep track of all leads. Put a from $xyz or range in your Ad. Unless US car dealers are different from here, walk into a Ferrari, dealership - or anyone else, I just picked high end prestigious to make a point - every car has a 'from £xyz' in the...

    Sweet, Sweet Victory! - New Web Design & SEO Services Client.

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    When you say all leads were duds do you include this? I wouldn't categorize these as duds. It's effectively 2 jobs and if the dad had zero interest he wouldn't have brought up wanting to get his son a website. So the conversation must have been of reasonable length. Dan

    Here is one golden rule of sales...

    MARKETING 
    Yes. 2 ears and 1 mouth is commonly mentioned for a reason. So now you have realised that, try and think at the end of each day what better questions you can ask to get better answers. If I were selling webistes I would more than likely have a question such as 'You know the people who visit...

    How My 19-Year-Old Son Built an $8K Web Design Business in 60 Days

    GOLD! WEB DESIGN 
    They don't need their money back. They are making a risk assessment whilst talking to you. More of a gut level assessment at what you would be charging. So if they say 'Let's go for it', they are essentially prepared to take the risk. No different from if you go on holiday, look at a few...
