Then ask this Insurance Broker to do your shopping around at renewal time.
1) Choose one Business Insurance Broker who you get on with and has access to all the insurers in the market and will therefore be able to do the shopping around for you 2) Ensure this Insurance Broker has the right level of past knowledge and experience to help you buy the right product without under (or over) buying, otherwise either way you are wasting money 3)Remember your business insurance needs to be fit for purpose for a full year and beyond, a cheaper product might fulfil your short term goals but could prove an expensive mistake in the longer term

How to become a salesman or saleswoman When I work with people who are about to start a new business, or who are trying to grow and develop an existing one, they often highlight selling as one of their weakspots. They know their products or services inside-out but often have never had to go through the process of selling them to customers. And selling comes with a bit of bad reputation. Ask someone to fill in the blank space in the phrase “---------- Salesman” and they will usually put in words like Pushy, Aggressive, Double Glazing or Used Car. We tend to associate selling with the bad experiences we may have had in the past. So it is useful to start with by reframing exactly what it is that we mean by selling. The definition which I like to use is that Selling = Helping people to make good choices. Begin to think of it in those terms, and it starts to look like a far more positive process, and also one that most people are already well equipped to perform. Business owners, as I already said, tend to know their products or services inside-out so providing customers with the information that they need to make good buying choices shouldn’t be too hard. So, how does the selling
www.b2b1st.co.uk
process start? It’s easy to think that it should begin with the sales person launching into a lengthy bit of sales patter, pouring out all of the details about their products that they think their customers need to know. Now, I don’t know about you, but I find that a complete turn off. So let’s turn it on its head. The first thing that a good salesperson will do is to LISTEN. Try asking questions about what it is they are looking for from a product like yours. What are their specific requirements? How do they plan to use it? What features are important to them? Listen to what they say, then you know the information that they need from you. Remember, we were given two ears and one mouth so let’s try using them in that proportion. Then focus what you say on addressing their needs. If you are a painter and decorator and your customer’s biggest worry is about whether you will leave any mess, then tell them what you will do to cover up the floors and furniture, how you’ll clean up at the end of each day and so on. Customers will let you know how much technical detail you need to pass on to them about your product or service. And often that will be a lot less than you might have expected, so don’t bore them with detailsthey don’t need. Don’t forget , though, to tell them about the benefits of using your service. People don’t hire gardeners based on how well equipped they are, or what methods they use to do their work. They hire them so that their gardens will look great, and to save themselves the time of doing it themselves. So a gardener who is good at selling will talk to customers about how great
their garden will look after they have worked on it, about how much easier it will be for the customer, and about the time they will have to spare now. So, being a salesperson isn’t complicated. We just need to be able to put ourselves in the position of the customer and think “What is it that they need to know?”, “How can I help them to make a good purchase?” Get that right and customers will enjoy doing business with you.
Thanks

What a difference a few years can make to the retail industry. With the major changes over the last year to the introduction of smart phones and sites such as Ebay becoming more and more popular, is it any wonder that businesses no longer rely on retail premises to increase their footfall? Now you can buy something on your phone at a click of a button or you can organise a spending spree in a party format in the comfort of your own home. Is it any wonder that 52% of all small businesses are now operated from the comfort of our own home? With this figure increasing by the day it can be all too easy for work to get in the way of our own personal space. If you operate a business from home or you are a party host then we can offer you flexible space to help you keep your home and business life separate. At Armadillo storage we offer a wide range of storage options whether you are looking to store just a few items of stock or if you want to purchase in bulk to receive maximum discounts on trade prices.

Health & Fitness
One thing that never ceases to amaze me is that we don’t do more to cancer. There are certain that’s that put you at higher risk of cancer but
nobody dares talk about them. Eliminating them doesn’t mean you won’t get cancer but it means you will be at far less risk. Most cancers have a few things in common. Firstly most of them have no symptoms until they present and if you eliminate the cause at that time you only stop it from becoming worse. You don’t make it any better. Most cancers are preventable and one thing near enough all of them have in common- the earlier you seek treatment the better. I lost my best friend to cancer and early diagnosis would have saved him. Actually let me tell you a story, my Dad is a retired family doctor. Once a month he ensured all male members of
the family checked themselves for testicular cancer and all the women checked themselves for breast lumps. If you didn’t you got grounded! I remember not being allowed to watch TV or go out for a whole week until I checked myself! It was tough love and he was being cruel to be kind- although I hated missing my favourite programmes. So how can you reduce the risk of cancer? Its not that hard. Don’t drink alcohol or at least minimise it. Cut out cigarettes completely. Don’t take illegal drugs- besides they can kill you very easily, at the very least they will destroy your life and those of your loved ones. Eliminate decaffeinated coffee from your nutrition- they remove caffeine by rinsing it out with benzene which is the most cancer causing chemical known to man. Eat a super high fibre diet- dare I say it, consider going vegetarian, some cancers such as bowel cancer are far less common among vegetarians. For the ladies please ensure you have a couple of kids and so long as you have no medical contraindication make sure you take the combined pill for a few years under medical

supervision. Always make sure if you sunbathe you use the strongest suncream you can and never sunbathe between 11am to 2pm when the sun is strongest. Just as importantly don’t get obese- although that is easier said than done- we live in a society that breeds obesity. Obesity puts you at higher risk of some cancers but it also makes cancer treatment a lot harder in many cases. It’s much harder to operate on an obese person and an anaesthetist will be loathe to put you under because its too risky.

Movie Previews It’s officially autumn. The leaves have all but turned and there is a definite chill in the air now. But, there’s always the cinema to escape to from the dreary weather. Let’s see what’s on offer this month.
Coming Soon… Dolphin Tale 2 Dolphin Tale 2 is a continuation of the true story we were first introduced to back in 2011 with the plight of deformed dolphin, ‘Winter’. In this sequel we see that Winter is doing well until she becomes lonely and begins to suffer because of it. Those who work at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium are still working hard to ‘Rescue, Rehabilitate and Release’ those that are able to. This includes an injured dolphin named Mandy and a sea turtle named Mavis. When an inspector comes and sees the condition Winter is now in, he issues them with a violation and gives
them 30 days to find her a mate or she will be removed to a marine park in Texas. All hopes seem to be lost until a call comes in about an injured female juvenile dolphin that has just been rescued. As everything lies on the two dolphins getting along, they name the dolphin, Hope. Reprising their roles from the first film is ), Ashley Harry Connick Jr ( Judd ( ), Nathan Gamble ( ) and Cozi Zuehlsdorff ( ). Although this is yet another sequel, the heart-warming story of the lives of these dolphins is worth a watch and the kids will enjoy it as well.
Gone Girl
Based on the 2012 novel of the same name, this is a mystery thriller that will keep you guessing all the way through. The author of the novel, Gillian Flynn has also written the screenplay for the film. She has stated that the film will deviate from the novel, as its story will be structured differently. So those who have read the book should still find the dramatization of it enjoyable. The story follows the suspected turbulent marriage of Nick and Amy Dunne (Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike). On the day of their 5th wedding anniversary, Amy goes missing. At first there is an all out search for her but as the investigation goes on; Nick starts to become a likely suspect. He seems unemotional in front of the cameras and journal entries of Amy’s reveal their marriage wasn’t as solid as thought by
others and that Amy began to grow scared of Nick. We see both sides to the mystery but never quite sure who to believe. Anyone who is a fan of suspense thrillers or think themselves a mystery boffin should definitely go and see this film. With David Fincher in the director’s chair ( ) the feel of the story is reflected in the telling of it Perfectly.

The Best Of Me Another film that comes from a novel although this one is a little lighter hearted. The book was written by none other than Nicholas Sparks who’s other novels have been made into big films over the years, these include; The Notebook, Dear John, The Last Song and Safe Haven to name a few. This story is about Dawson Cole and Amanda Collier. In high school Dawson is the kid from the wrong side of the street and Amanda is one of the rich kids. So we start to see a Romeo and Juliet sort of vibe right from the start, especially when they are told not to see each other but then secretly carry on their
relationship. After falling in love and being together for a while, Dawson is forced to end the relationship. The next thing we know its 20 years later and when an old friend’s death means Dawson returns to his home town for the funeral, it also means seeing the girl he loved all those years ago. When they see each other again it is clear the feelings they once had never went away. But with them both leading such separate lives for so long, does their love still stand a chance? Taking the lead roles are James Marsden (27 dresses, The Notebook) and Michelle Monaghan (Made of Honour, Source Code). I’m sure any fan of Sparks’ previous works will love this story as they did with the others. Although if films like The Notebook isn’t your thing, maybe give this one a miss.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles This month’s big blockbuster comes from none other the man behind the Transformers franchise, Michael Bay and there’s no mistaking that when seeing this film. Big production and big stunts bring to life the story of the Ninja Turtles that so many of us loved as a kid and can still sing the theme tune to the TV show, ‘heroes in a half shell…’ As this is an origin story we see how the Turtles came to be the crime fighting Ninja’s they are, how they came to meet ) savvy reporter April O’Neil ( and we also see them face their most feared enemy, Shredder.

Luckily, special effects have come along enough that the Turtles themselves don’t look ridiculous and they still maintain their individual styles and personality that everyone is so familiar with. New and old audiences will both enjoy this big budget blockbuster and will be a great time at the cinema for everyone.

John’s Plants Now is the time to finish planting spring bulbs such as narcissi and crocuses - tulips can wait until November. Choose plump firm bulbs and plant in a location with good drainage. Add grit if the soil is heavy and ensure your pots and containers have plenty of good drainage. Bury bulbs at three times their own depth, tip upwards and make sure there are no air pockets around the bulbs. For a natural look, throw handfuls of bulbs in the air and plant them where they land. Some great varieties to narcissi to Grow include scented varieties Sir Winston Churchill, Repete, early cheer, bridal crown and Tete a Tete is a good all round dwarf type, all these are suitable for either pots or the garden. Eye catching tulips include Abu Hassan, China pink, Happy generation and spring green. Plant new shrubs and perennials - while the soil is still relatively moist and warm, plant them so their roots have a chance to become established before winter. Divide herbaceous perennials such as daylilies , geraniums and rhubarb, Cut them back and divide large clumps by lifting carefully and separating down the centre with 2 forks back to back. Replant with plenty of compost and water generously. Cut back perennials that have died
down - do not cut back the less hardy perennials such as penstemoms and hardy fuchsias - leave until they begin to shoot from the base in spring. Lift and bring tender perennials inside before frosts cause any damage. Support tall flowers - autumn can be windy so make sure any tall flowers are supported. Plant winter bedding and spring bulbs in your pots, containers borders and hanging baskets now. Winter colour comes in all shapes and sizes; mini cyclamen (these will only tolerate light frosts) heathers, dwarf conifers,variegated box, pansies, violas and trailing ivies all make good displays, bare rooted wallflowers are now available and add great winter colour to borders, two good varieties are Persian carpet and Tom Thumb (a dwarf variety). Move any tender plants under cover before the cold sets in (if possible allow them to dry out partially before lifting them). If you want one of the true hardy cyclamen this is hederifolium and comes in a variety of colours and will naturalise into large drifts. It's important to lift containers that will be left outside off the ground to ensure good drainage and to protect against frost damage. This month is probably the best time to plant new shrubs trees and hedging either pot grown or bare rooted before the harsh frosts arrive,
www.johnsplants.com
remember to water in well and support taller Specimens. If you want to move shrubs and small trees take as much root ball as possible, handle carefully and incorporate compost in the new hole, also mulch around the surface to retain moisture. As the daylight shortens sit back and relax and start to plan your garden planting scheme for next year. If you require any further information or quality plants and shrubs either visit us at our plant centre in Langold S819QL, or contact me at john@ johnsplants.com.

Kay’s Top 10 Networking Tips… Networking is an effective and inexpensive method to market your business. I do a lot of Networking both online and at local Networking Events. These 10 tips have been put together through suggestions given at The Firm Does Chessy Lunch Meeting. 1) This is my number one tip – if you have took the time out of your working day and turned up to a networking meeting you need to be giving your card to potential contacts and taking cards in return from them. Just ask yourself how will your potential contact get in touch with you if you don’t leave them your business details? 2) Yes everyone is there for the same reason ‘to sell’ but just keep in mind that people buy from people they know and trust. So you might not get a sale at the first meeting but it takes time to build trust and knowledge about someone before they can refer you with confidence. 3)
everyone at the meeting know who you are and what your business offers. Your elevator pitch should include; your name, your business name, what service/product you provide, the benefits of using your service/product, what type of contacts you’re looking for, your businesses USP (Unique Selling Point) and a Strap Line. Don’t forget everyone was nervous once, it just takes practice!
Also you can then listen for if there is an opportunity for you to help them through your business.
4)
8)
Keep in mind when networking that it is not just the people on the room that are important but who they know as well. You might not think someone is a very good contact for you but they may know your perfect client and can’t refer them to you if they don’t know what you do. 5) Think about how you can help the people you meet with their business. If you help them they are more likely to want to refer or use your service in the future. 6)
Ask questions about their business and listen to what they say. If you This is one of the best opportunities don’t know what they do how can you will get at networking to let you refer them with confidence?

7) We tend to gravitate to people we know which is great because we need to keep those contacts strong. Just keep in mind that your there to network and meet new potential customers so sit down with new people as well.
Seems pretty basic I know but a friendly face makes you easier to approach by new networkers. 9) People have come to network so go and introduce you self and ask about their business etc. They are a great potential new contact for your business. 10) Look the part and leave your comfortable baggy clothes at home. Looking professional is the best first impression you can give.
Thanks
