Upselling - aaaagh! 24th March 2010 9:40 AM
** Draws breath **

Ok - firstly having worked at said burger joint for a while - you are trained to upsell - id like a cheesburger and fries - would that be large fries? - you will be amazed at how many people cannot say no even if they dont want it, not saying im a fan of this but your job depended on you asking those questions.

Im in the middle of selling my house, rang my mortgage company, usual security questions - then in the middle of this do you have your insurance with us?- No i replied thinking it was another security Q, would you like a quote at the end of our conversation? Well i replied i know you are reading a script but i thought i said at the start of the conv that i wanted some info re settling the mortgage so what would i want insurance for? Hmm not very bright. But then they carried on with the security questions, thats not on surely?

I think we are in the middle of a society that is desperately trying to pull itself out of a recession and people are looking at ways of making extra
Thought you'd been quiet mucker.

Get yourself round the office, Clives installing a beer fridge tomorrow, we'll get it stocked up and have a Stella with your name on it

Said beer fridge now installed, just 1 problem its only got 2 pints of milk in it

Went through a break up towards the end of last year mate, it was horrible, couldnt eat or sleep and just about functioned at work - you do get through it though

All the best Kev - get in touch in you need a chat

Petrol set to increase again! 19th March 2010 9:45 AM
Not sure really if i should put this in to a rant, depends how i get on lol

Just been reading the news, petrol/diesel set to soar again, dont know about you but ive seen a 4p increase in a litre in the past 2 weeks and its going to get worse when a 3p Duty increase comes into force on 1st April (no its not an April fool :P) full article - Petrol soars 4p ahead of tax hike - *UK News - MSN News UK

This of course means eveything else will increase as businesses struggle to cope with delivery costs etc How is this going to affect your business?

Having just bought a newish diesel family hatch, that gives me around 45mpg i was looking forward to lopping off a bit of my monthly petrol bill - doesnt look that way as the savings i was looking forward to are about to be swallowed up in Tax

Looking back maybe i should have bought one of those Toyota Hybrids, that should have been cheap - talking of which thats gone quiet now the News is bleating about other things ......
