Whilst New Year is a time to reflect on how lucky we are at present and the successes we’ve enjoyed so far, my mantra is: “how can we find a better way?” I’m always looking for ways to improve, streamline, optimise and get smarter. So what have we learnt from our A-Z of CRM blog post series this year that can shape practical and useful New…
Don’t you think business life is better united?

We’re huge fans of leveraging neat technology and savvy online tools to enable business owners and…
Time’s pretty fickle isn’t it? When we have lots of it we love it but usually end up squandering it with a ‘I’ll do it tomorrow mentality.’ When time is of the essence and we have very little of it, we resent it and tend to leave an urgent task until the very last minute before a deadline. Poor time can’t win! Time is so tricky because we can’t control how fast passes but…
From the TalkTalks’ well talked about data breach, and the infamous celebrity private photos leak to the much more recent Tesco Bank cyber attack on over 40,000 customers’ details, we all know that data ‘hacks’ are a very real and present risk in today’s digital world. Not only did these chilling headlines make us ask ourselves just “how secure is my online data?”, but this month’s Tesco Bank breach demonstrated how it’s not just celebrities…
Focus on the hidden gems with analytics Thanks to the plummeting costs of computing power and the internet, analytics is no longer the preserve of huge enterprises. Anyone with an online system can now use analytics to unearth hidden gems within their business’s data. When you are on the move, you can’t always rely on networking to drive your business. Repeat business from existing clients and a list of new prospects is key, which means…
Now you are on the move You no longer need to be in the same place as your clients to run your business. You can run your business from anywhere, as near or as far from everything as you want.

Wherever you are, you know all you need is an internet connection to instantly get…
If you’ve stumbled across this or one of our recent blog posts and you’re a tad confused then you’ve come to the right place!

We are currently producing a blog series called A-Z of CRMs, as CRM customisations are among what we do here…
What does business freedom mean to you? Every business owner we meet has their own definition for business freedom. Maybe you want to pick and choose the hours you work, invest more time into the hobbies you love or create the business of your dreams. Whatever your ultimate goal, becoming a location independent business is usually a key step in the journey to business freedom. Being truly free means you can run your business from…

People generally fall into two camps when it comes to organisation. They’re either very uber-organised or else completely scatterbrained, scraping through, meeting (or missing!) deadlines just in the nick of time.
