Macrame Mayhem: Recruitment.

Today’s moving tale will strike a chord with anyone who has turned their passion into a successful business. Gosh, there is even a television series where crafty people can gain help from others who have made it to the top.

Somewhere out there today, there will be someone in that in-between stage. They may have so many orders that they cannot keep up.

Monica and Gavin had been at it all night. A large order had come in a couple of days ago for two hundred of their special beaded plant hangers for large ferns. Fingers sore and struggling to keep up, Gavin placed the last one in the box and put the documentation inside. Then firmly sealed the flaps down with tape.

“This hobby of yours has got out of hand,” he said, as he printed the address label, took a set square, and stuck it perfectly in place.

He took a deep breath and then turned to his wife. “ I think we’ve reached that point,” he added.

Monica also took a deep breath and looked over at her husband. He was right. The time had come to employ some staff to cover the business and sales so they could concentrate on production.

Orders had come in thick and fast since they had been featured in the quality high-end craft magazine Beads, Buttons, and String.

They had spent the last month twiddling, plaiting, and knotting twenty hours a day.

Gavin felt a chill down his spine. He then carefully buttoned up his pure wool cardigan. He adjusted his cravat. “Do you agree ?” he asked his wife as he collected their mugs.

“French coffee or Columbian cafetiere? He asked as he walked towards the kitchen.

Well, there we go. That is how it happens. One minute you are merrily twiddling and placing your beads and the next the phone won’t stop ringing.

If you are up all night fretting over the next step in the art of recruitment, then you might like to get in touch! Call us without obligation for a free consultation.

Dorothy’s Quest: The Knights of Old!

  Do you feel bored in your current role? Well, maybe a change would do you good. Read on for inspiration! Dorothy had landed. She had arrived, and this was it, the new position she had been dreaming of. She rolled up her sleeves and got down to work, meticulously making her way through the sales calls. Yes, company by company she dialed out, her headset perched neatly over her perm. Over three months, she cleaned up the huge database of leads. But Dorothy was in for a surprise. Was this a new role for her, or was there something better charging her way? It was on the penultimate day of the campaign that Dorothy had to call Crusades Removals Incorporated, and it was on this day she decided to change her life. Dorothy pressed the mouse button to click on the next call and the number popped up. She instantly knew something was different when the automated voice announced that there would be a long wait due to their representatives being busy all over the world. Yes, safely escorting ...

T & G Table Mincers Ltd: Episode Five Hong Kong & Marketing Outcomes!

  Published 28th April 2023 www.tsrn.co.uk Oh, what a week it has been! We have traveled from Harrow almost on the hill to hot sticky memories within the forests of Rangoon. Yes, it has been fun traveling back and forth to 1956. You might be asking yourself. Why, Sonya, why? And I am going to answer…… I don’t know. Anyhow, let us catch up with Toni, Geoff, and Brenda one last time this week and see how the trip to Hong Kong turned out. “It’s full, it’s so full, I couldn’t fit any more in Geoff “announced Toni as he placed his bulging order book down on Geoff’s desk. (The William Morris Trellis cover glowing in the morning sun beaming in through the art deco black lacquered windows) “Aw, and you should have seen the Shek Pik Valley, it was a triumph! All flowers and fauna. The Pekingese would have loved it you know. And Brenda, I mean Lorretta of the mincing word came alive from our brochures. Standing out like a lighthouse on a misty night at sea off the Cornish coast. Oh yes, I t...

The New Fish Policy Called Honesty

  You made your deformed and cluttered seabed. You swim in it.  According to the Cambridge Dictionary , the word policy means: “ a set of ideas or a plan of what to do in particular situations that has been agreed to officially by a group of people, a business organization, a government, or a political party” So of course, as a company supplying a service or product, you need to interact with your clients to exhibit your full understanding of their needs. They, in return, need to know in the broadest sense, what your limits are. For example, I cannot discuss political parties here as that would take this article away from its true intrinsic message. Honesty is the best policy And to be honest I have no interest in writing an article about political parties in any particular way. There, that’s my truth. So, you may say to yourself. What are you getting at here Sonya? I suppose we would say that you need to be transparent with clients about what you will do and what it...
