The NSPCC finally receive their money

Hiya,

I know I haven't really been updating this blog recently. I guess it's due to I just been busy with work and things. Plus the fact it has been a long time since my brief appearance in the papers and tv that I am back to being little ol Andy Palmer. (well not so little now as I've put on a stone recently!!!)

Anyway if anyone is reading this I am pleased to announce that the money I promised the NSPCC has now been paid over.

If you read some of the previous posts you will know that I promised the NSPCC 25% of my earnings for any job obtained through my eBay listing.

Well thanks to Simon Coulson who paid £1500 for my consultancy services, I was able to give the NSPCC £375.

It did take a while as initially I wanted the Kent Messenger to run the story to prove to people that I was a man of my word and did pay up. However for some reason after saying they would be interested, suddenly they weren't.

I then thought, "As long as I know I have paid the money I should then that is all that really matters" So I liased with Michelle from the NSPCC to present the cheque to her directly. Please see the lovely pic below
This was back in September but I didn't write anything about it until the cheque had been cashed.

Now the money has left my account and hopefully helping some kids in unfortunate circumstances.

If you feel like helping the NSPCC out, even with a small donation you can do it by clicking on this link

Anyway this will be my last post on Findanemployee as I am working at the moment, until January at least. Fingers crossed I don't have to do something more unusual to find a job next time!!

Just not photogenic

Hello,

I know I haven't blogged for ages. Been really busy with work. So pleased to be using the word 'work' in a positive sense.

Just thought I'd share with you the new copy of Mortgage Introducer magazine. God knows why but someone wanted to use a picture of my ugly mug on page 12!.

Have a read a see what you think. Please be kind if you have any comments.

Cheers

Month's work over - New Job begins

My month's work with Simon Coulson of the Internet Business School is now over. I have to say thanks to Simon and the team for making me feel really welcome and I will miss working there.

I was really grateful for the invitation to work for longer, however I was also offered another role which will be a longer contract. In the current climate jobs are hard to come by so I had to go for the security.

I am now going to be a business development manager with a difference. I could be helping your business get through the credit crunch.

Before I tell you how I do this, I would like to explain the sort of businesses that I can assist.

If your business talks to clients about financial matters, you can benefit from offering more services. If a client can get more help from your business, the more likely they are to stay loyal.

But offering extra services will mean either employing someone who has the skills or by someone your company learning them. Both options involve some cost, be it time or money.

This is where I come in.

I will create an additional income stream for your business by way of pension transfers.

Many clients at the moment have pension pots that could be performing better. By getting a pension specialist looking at the situation, the client could be have a more valuable pot without having to put any more money in!

Obviously clients will be pleased if they are making some money but what is in it for you?

By becoming a Gatsby Pension Introducer you will have access to the following benefits:

  • Excellent rates of commission
  • No compliance issues
  • No extra qualifications needed
  • No extra employment costs
  • Full support of a Business Development Manager

Just imagine if you had access to someone who could provide support in growing your business but this support was free.

With a wealth of marketing techniques, I can help you tap into the potential income held in your client files.

With an average commission paid of £300+ this could be a lucrative additional income stream for your business.

For further information, head over to www.pensionsintroducer.com sign up for free and one of the members of the sales team will contact you to help you grow your business today.

Mark Anastasi'sTraffic Generation Summit & Boxing Match

Hello,

I hope you had a good weekend with all the sun. I didn't really see any of it as I spent Friday to Sunday learning.

Not the most rock and roll thing to be doing over a weekend but you can never stop learning as they say.

I was learning all about loads of different strategies on how increase traffic to websites. It was really interesting if you are a bit of a geek like myself. However there was one strange thing.

I didn't see what happened but I saw one bloke punch another in the face a few times. It was late on a saturday night in a dodgy part of town. This was mid afternoon in a quiet seminar!! Now I don't know what was said but all I do know is that you should never be the first to throw a punch as it's just not cricket.

Anyway that was very surreal but didn't detract from some great tips I learnt. It really was a fantastic event. I even managed to win a prize from the raffle draw at the end. Yay!!

It is hard to believe I have completed my first week of my eBay contract work. Even though it is quite late now I have to complete a report for tomorrow, so I guess I'd better get started. I have just set up my speech recognition so hopefully it should take that long.... should I really be admitting that in public :-) I'm sure it's ok as long as I get the work done.

Ciao for now

Return Of The BDM

Hello,

I thought I would give a little run down of my month's contract. I am employed as a freelance business development manger for a company called Logicworks. My main role will be to develop new business for a coaching course offered by Simon Coulson (Which can be found at http://www.simoncoulson.com/coaching/courses09.htm)

I will have to draw on my previous roles in sales and business development to think of new ways to bring in business. This may include introducing a telesales process, meeting with local business or a whole variety of other methods.

If I could be really cheeky and ask for your help?

If you have a look at the site and can think of any particular groups of people I could try to market this product to, please let me know at findanemployee@jumpatthechance.co.uk

Many thanks

A New Job On The Horizon

Hello,

I have to say once again thank you to everyone for their support and for all the opportunities that were offered to me.

I have finally decided to take an offer with Simon Coulson, founder of the internet business school.

I am really excited to be working for Simon and I am so grateful to be given the opportunity. Although this transaction will not be made via eBay (due to being banned from the auction area) I will still pay the NSPCC 25% of the money I earn once the month is over.

I will still be updating the blog just to let people know what is going on with work and maybe I may be on the market again at some point in the future.

If you are looking for work and need some insipration, feel free to contact me at findanemployee@jumpatthechance.co.uk
