There are an awful lot of unfulfilled ideas floating through cyberspace. Unfortunately, there seems to be more ideas being floated than there are entrepreneurial spirits to help them come to fruition. So if you have a brilliant idea it would be rather useful if there was a place you could go where the funding parties congregated. RockThePost is such a place. It is what's known as a business social network and a place where the talented individual (which I guess is you) and the entrepreneurial (and this could also be you) type can touch base to potentially take your Dream ...

I had a great idea to make use of this site but then I thought it might be a bit cruel. Having had a look through it, not that there’s much to look at, I thought I might create a post and challenge the developers to tell me what the point of it is! They describe the app as a platform where organizations and businesses can create online challenges around their brands and increase visibility and customer loyalty. I know good PR and advertising campaigns don’t come cheap but looking at the low level impact this one generates on your senses ... Read more
When most businesses start out no doubt they can handle customer enquiries in the old fashioned way. With a small customer base and a small team to go with it the old ˈsticky note pressed on to a screenˈ ploy usually does the trick. The other choice of course is to forward an email, hope for the best and then try and remember which member of the team you forwarded it to so you can follow it up. The problem with both of these methods is that they leave themselves open to human error and a poorly addressed customer enquiry simply ... Read more

Poor employees, gone are the days when you could finish a shift and forget about the boss until the next one. Once upon a time you could even ignore the ringing of the telephone just in case it was him with a desperate invitation to do some more hours. I’m being a little unfair perhaps. Although Enigmai does give business owners a greater chance of success at contacting employees out of hours that’s not all it can do. As a scheduler it not only manages shifts but can monitor attendance as well as acting as a useful employee management system. Read more
I remember a time when Human Resources went under the name of the Personnel Department and still wonder why it was felt necessary to change it. After all personnel sounds a bit like personal and has a touchy feely aspect to it. Resources on the other hand just sounds like another commodity to be chucked onto the mincing machine but I digress! Read more

It’s all well and good knowing who’s visited your website but unless you react and do something about it you stand less chance of making a sale. And let’s face it in this day and age every opportunity should be grabbed with both hands. Tringify is a simple solution to help make sure you don’t miss a trick and the particular trick in question here is missing a vital follow up call. Read more
As the name suggests this one is specifically for the hair salon business and having been designed by some of those in the trade it should tint all the grey bits. As an appointment app it will certainly help get that aspect of the working week sorted out but it can do more than that. You’re never going to get the whole world to stop telephoning to book but giving customers the option to do it via your website 24/7 should cut down on a great number of them doing so. You don’t even have to have an existing website to get ... Read more
