| Roy Prevost News - September 2010 |
I do hope you have enjoyed your summer!
I chose not to send out any newsletters during that time since most subscribers like yourself
were on holidays, planning holidays, or coming back from holidays, and to receive a newsletter
would have added to your already filled inbox.
Now that life is back to almost normal, I am sending you some ideas and a free way to set up
a website I found recently
First things first, as a result of cancellations and postponement of several events, my
schedule has come open for SMALL BUSINESS WEEK. If your organization is looking for one of the
best speaker/facilitators in Canada, I have some openings during that time and would love to
speak in your community. Please pass this information to your group.
Several people have been asking me for a CRM system to keep track of their customers. I have
found a free version here. They have several paid versions;
however, the free one seems quite adequate.
I also came across a site that provides free websites. You may want to check them out
here. I have never used them; however, they do
appear to be legit. Please let me know your thoughts if you decide to go this route.
I am currently setting up a coaching membership site for my subscribers. You will be
getting more details shortly. I am also doing a major overhaul of my website and making
it more friendly. Stay tuned!!
I presented a telewebinar in August on how to create massive referrals for your business
using Sendout Cards. It is a 30 minute event and you will get some great ideas on how to
expand your customer base.
You can listen to it here.
And finally, I found this interesting article recently that I felt might be of value. Whether
you are a frequent traveler, like myself, or simply planning a holiday, I felt this information
might be helpful.
Timing is Everything
Journalist Mark Di Vincenzo, founder of the Business Writers Group, gets into the nitty-gritty
of why timing really is everything with his book "Buy Ketchup in May and Fly Before Noon".
In the 170 pages, he gives tips on when it's best to do just about anything.
Here are some of his travel tips:
Best time of day to fly: Noon.
According to pilots, you avoid the rush hours and minimize foul weather delays.
Best day of the week to fly: Saturday.
Airlines have fewer flights on Saturdays, meaning shorter lines, fewer delays.
Best month to fly for summer vacation: August.
No one knows why, but there are fewer flight delays than in June or July.
Best day of the week to shop for airline tickets: Monday or Tuesday.
This is when airlines roll out the best deals.
Best day of the week to rent a car: Tuesday or Wednesday.
Most business travelers already have their cars and you will beat the rush by city dwellers
who want a car for the weekend.
Best day of the week for a hotel upgrade: Sunday or Monday.
The slowest days of the week.
Hopefully this helps.
Cheers
