27th Feb 09: I’m in business – I need a website

Well it was a great week last week – sales are still really strong and I’m really pleased to see so many of our businesses going great guns despite the current economic climate.

Our event at Sylvan Oak in Findon last week was fantastic – thank you so much to all the team there – I’ve been bombarded with emails about it! Alot of good food and drink, not too much business talk on the night but some serious business has been passed since between our clients which is great news.

On Monday the Red Golf Day committee met to discuss the latest events – with the guys from Worthing Churches Homeless Projects and the Sussex Autistic Society on board too -can’t wait for the day at Mannings Heath Golf Club in July. See the Red Golf Day site for more details.

Tuesday I had my first full day in the office for weeks – with no morning, lunchtime or evening networking – quite a revelation! The sister site to the Chatsworth Hotel in Worthing – Deans Place Hotel in Alfriston went live this week – really excited about this as a challenging but rewarding project – nice to work with you again Sheryl and Michael.

Wednesday I was up at 5.30am going back to the coal face to get the new website live for Worthing Business Circle - prior to our visitors day at 7.30am! We had a tight deadline to meet so for once it was me updating the site before go live rather than one of the team (at least I can still do it!). Worthing Business Circle is a great group and we focus on ‘building business, building relationships and building the community’. At lunchtime I met with our client Lou from Melrose Care Home in Worthing - arguably one of the best nursing homes in Worthing and one of only 2 with a 3 star care rating. We had a great lunch – sorry – business meeting at The Fish Factory.

Wednesday evening brings the first of our LWS ‘Get trained and be Entertained’ nights with Masterchef Dan Clarke doing a great demo while our clients learn all about blogging! They seemed to enjoy it!

On Thursday I’m off to visit new clients and Friday I am training for Business Link for my regular ‘I’m in Business – I need a website’ course which I love doing – it’s great to meet people starting their new businesses and hear all about their ideas as well as being able to offer them advise on how to set up a website – whether they do it for free or go for a company.

Looking forward to my friend Shelley’s 30th birthday party on Saturday then hopefully a bit of R and R on Sunday…
