It's your so called progression that keeps us stuck in recession.
I don't find it acceptable at any level to make a comment about a 18 year old girl which sexualulises her in a work environment.ks. We need more entrepreneurs and bosses like him and less whingers.It's your so called progression that keeps us stuck in recession.
i agree making money is good but you need ethics for long term survival/growth.

I intially though that, and was initially cringing when he got the newbies to stand up and singalong to Mr Brightside, but on reflection you could see they were all smiling/laughing, either with him or [/i]at him[/i], but either wasy, they were smiling.
I imagine a call centre is a soul-destroying place to work, and I think his methods (whilst questionable) seems to work fairly well.
Don't imagine them to be, they are soul destroying and that's on inbound. Cold calling is harder still.I imagine a call centre is a soul-destroying place to work, and I think his methods (whilst questionable) seems to work fairly well.
I find Nev amusing and a bit of a plonker but he is obviously good at what he does, when I was 19-20 I worked in a massive CC in Wiltshere. We had a team leader who was mad and made us do all sorts of stupid things. The thing is we are still in touch to this day, 15 years later, she is very successful and I look back very fondly on those days at work and now I'm a manager whilst not being 'kooky' I do have a nice balance between banter and being the boss.
I will still chuckle at Nev though.

he was trying to sell something some people will actually want to buy. If cold calling didn't work, it wouldn't exist.
But anything that is too good sells itself.In reality he is getting leads for other companies packaged up in a 'save money' sell.
least not forget ppi claims can cost the claimer money, the whole industry needs regulating correctly, as he also offers debt advice.
He is also director of 14 other companies which take grants from companies. but he utilises the governments drive to save energy, identifying bills which benefits the customer.
very shrewd but just sounds too good to be true.
