geek n rolla

Posted by Brian Milnes on April 22, 2009 under Miscellaneous | Be the First to Comment

Just checked with “Business Link in London” and (not
that you’d know it from their web site) they have a Provider Registration
Database. You need to call and ask for the forms which they’ll email you.
You need to have offices “in London”.

There is no charge to register.

This is a part of the revised national Business Link “engagement
model”: The Information, Diagnostic, Brokerage Service (IDB).

(For a classic look at what motivates Bus. Link Management, [and
an exemplar of poor graphic design] have a look at how Business Link in London
report their first year operating the new model:

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>If
you contact your local business link they will explain how to register in their
Supplier Brokerage Service (they each have their own variant).

Can
you say how one goes about getting on the other side in relation to Business
Link?

i.e.
become a paid advisor like yourself

Go to Business Link, Tobias,
they can give you such advice.

They also have a scheme called
eVouchers (£130/£70 plus “specials”) which they can give you to
spend with advisers who can help you in the process of developing (or ditching)
your ideas. I’ve helped around 15 startups under this scheme during the
last 12 months.

Im brand new to meetup and was wondering if you regularly get investors along

Any feedback appreciated.

Thanks

Chris

I have to agree with you

It really winds me up getting blatant spam/rubbish emails

But… there *are* some really good and useful discussions

I’ve personally found some of the links posted in discussions really useful

+ I’m sure there must be an option to only receive a ‘daily digest’ of
emails – as opposed to receiving every single email?

Not 100% sure, but that functionality is available on most forum type
platforms

So, instead of getting every reply, you’ll just get the one daily email?

Michael,

Every week at least someone
complains on this list about getting too much mail despite the quite useful
conversations that occur; yes there is the occasional rubbish ? but every
discussion forum/group has that issue.

If you are struggling with your
inbox; rather than preventing group conversation (one of the reasons for having
it) perhaps you can consider one of these options:

1. style='font-size:7.0pt;color:#1F497D'> style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Unsubscribe from the group

If you don?t want to do this
because you want access to the group but not the mail then:

2. style='font-size:7.0pt;color:#1F497D'> style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Set up a filter to delete mail from the group.
If you are unsure how to do this, I am sure someone on the list can explain.

Or, which I imagine is what most
people on this list do, including me:

3. style='font-size:7.0pt;color:#1F497D'> style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Filter the mail into a folder so you can
check it when you have a bit of time ? and rapidly delete everything (most
email applications even let you empty whole folders with one click) quickly if
you do not.

Hopefully one of these solutions
will work for you.

Best Regards,

Chris
