For example, having to manage my own diary for the first time in 25 years came as something of a shock. I went through about 15 erasers in the first six months and I double-booked myself for meetings on at least a couple of occasions. • R: He is talking about a lack of administrative support, so you write ‘I’ as your answer.. k l a t e w. k l a. k l a t -. • R: Question 23. Person 1. • F: People think what you’ll miss is the routine of having an office to go to every day but that actually gave me a great sense of freedom.

But what you don’t have is the opportunity to chat to people from other departments, with expertise in other areas. I really missed that and hadn’t realised how much I had depended on being able to check out other people’s opinions before taking an idea forward.. k l a t e w. • R: Question 25. Person 3. • F: I think the hardest thing for me was the change I had to make in my mind. I went from having a senior position in a large corporation with all that comes with that; the car, a generous expense account, etc, as well as the respect of colleagues, to being a nobody. People didn’t automatically take my calls any more.. e w. t -. k l a. e w. k l a t -.

It takes so much time. But other than that, I’d recommend the life of a consultant to any of my former colleagues. • R: Question 27. Person 5. • F: You’ve always got to think ahead three months or six months to the next project to make sure you’ve got enough work lined up to pay the bills. At the beginning, it was hard not having a regular pay cheque at the end of every month. Some people find it a terrible worry.

I’d like to welcome Paul Doherty, who’s a website designer. • M: Good morning. Setting up a shop window on the internet is becoming essential for small firms. Have a look at websites produced by big companies producing the same type of goods so you can see how they do it. But expand your horizons from your local area as you can get lots of ideas from websites from companies in other countries. • After doing your research, the next step is whether to produce the pages yourself or pay for a website designer to do the work for you. If you do it yourself, you have complete control over how your pages will look and you can update them quickly and whenever you want. There are quite a few packages around to help you and you can get a very professional finish. However, to do it yourself may not be the inexpensive option as you’ll need some quite sophisticated software, not to mention a powerful computer and good quality screen.. k l a t e w. e w. t -. k l a. e w. k l a t -.

(56) w Listening Part 4 –Scripts 1-2 k k l l l a a a t t t e e e w w w • Now, to produce the web pages yourself with good software, all you have to do is provide the text and photographs. A digital camera is handy, as is a scanner, as you can scan in your logo. Don’t try to put too much information on a single page, and, although it may be tempting to use lots of different colours and type styles and sizes, doing so will make your pages look messy. Keep to just one or two sizes with the same typeface. • Now, what else should a good website include? Well, while some websites add counters to pages so you can see how many people have looked at them, I think they are of little practical use and can slow the loading of the page in the web browser. Instead, present the human face of your business by, for example, telling people about your management team. You can also use simple graphics where they illustrate a point better than words, but take care – visitors often only spend ten seconds on a site before moving on and they are often put off by flashy graphics.. k l a t e w. e w. t -. k l a. e w. k l a t -.

(57) w Listening Part 4 –Scripts 1-3 k k l l l a a a t t t e e e w w w • Make sure your full address and telephone number are prominently displayed on your home page. Check your emails at least twice a day as your customers will often expect a reply on the same day. And remember, and this is a point often forgotten, to update your web pages with current prices and any special offers. • Now, you need to get customers to return to your site. Some people do this by offering a ‘tip of the day’ or by providing online tools like a free calculator. However, I believe that making your website as interactive as possible so people feel involved, works best. You can do this with quizzes for example. This is what is called ‘sticky content’. Now, remember your website is one of the most important marketing tools you have, so (fade ....). k l a t e w. e w. t -. k l a. e w. k l a t -.

They should purchase goods and services at discounts, and require customers to settle accounts promptly.. k l a t e w. k l a. k l a t -. • When Greenham is considering whether to finance a new venture, his biggest concern is price. 'I am always looking for great ideas and market opportunities with strong leadership, at reasonable prices.'
