Trump claiming DEI schemes could be responsible for crash in the states is wild. Is he suggesting companies shouldn’t hire people who have disabilities?

Prospects aren’t looking for products; they’re looking for solutions. Show them why your offer fits their world—and keep it conversational. No corporate jargon. #sales

Interesting debate, I would argue that spaces now are far too small generally. So should we pay more for big cars or should spaces be bigger?

Should you pay more for parking if you have a big car?
Some councils are considering charging owners of larger vehicles more for parking permits.

So much wasted money on something that was never really going to work.
£715 million on a political PR stunt which everyone knew was absolutely pointless. Just think what that could have been spent on to actually help people, locals and people seeking asylum.
In July, I FOI'd the Home Office for the full breakdown of spending on the Rwanda scheme

I was refused because the government planned to publish the data in future, and today is the day. These numbers are in millions

Sales isn’t about talking – it’s about listening. Want to close more deals? Try talking less. The rule: listen 80%, talk 20% and watch your business grow. #sales

What is sales? At its core it’s the process of exchanging a product or service in exchange for money. #sales
