I'm back!

Last week was a wonderful week for us.  Business was busy, which is always a good thing, but the culmination of the week was our son's wedding.  It was a very small family affair and we were all very happy to see both our son and his new bride so clearly enjoying the day.  My wife Sandra, took about a million photos and so the happy couple can start their married life with permanently etched smile lines on their faces.  We wish them both the very best.

But of course, with all of the excitement I have been off-air for a few days.

The net result for my first week of the month was that I did achieve my goal in appointments set for the month.  It was a close run thing as I was effectively working on a four day week and ended up having a few clients who needed their appointments last week, but we got there.  Incidentally, our trial of the new telemarketers is still a work in progress as they are only just starting to gear up.  However, this seems reasonable to me as the first step in their process is the setting up of the scripts etc.

So this week for me is the time of completing the appointments.  I have two tonight, one tomorrow night and another two on Wednesday night, so the next few days will be busy with researching and conducting these interviews.  

Incidentally, I'm noticing that I'm receiving many requests for personal loans at the moment, is anyone else experiencing this?

I'd be very interested to hear from people about their experiences with personal loans as I've heard several different viewpoints of this market and the processes for submitting these types of deals.
