Mr. Stammers (see posts 14/15
) A word or two of advice from an old, retired bloke.
IF you want to be treated like a Professional, ACT like one!
COMMUNICATE with your customers/creditors. every business fears the "uncontactable"....the one who keeps in touch, even if it's not good news, gets the respect!- the "run away and hide" mentality should be left in the juvenile playground.
Proof read your "professional" communications before hitting "send"
then you won't send such howlers as "guilt-edged" ((the expression is "GILT-edged", something VERY different!)
ALLEDGED.....try "alleged"
MALLISHUS....try "malicious"
Spitting your dummy out is not going to do you any favours here.
Another piece of advice that stood me in good stead..."Never knock the opposition, you don't know when you may be wanting/needing to work for them"
@ Lyn Munro....Don't hold your breath!
