Re-Building Jobs In The UK

Any time you call an 0800 number (for a credit card, banking etc) and you find that you're talking to a foreign customer service representative, please consider doing the following:

After you connect and you realize that the customer service representative is not from the UK you can always ask if you are not sure about the accent), please, very politely (this is not about trashing other cultures) say, "I'd like to speak to a customer service representative in the United Kingdom."

The rep might suggest talking to his/her manager, but, again, politely say, "Thank you, but I'd like to speak to a customer service representative in the United Kingdom."

YOU WILL BE IMMEDIATELY CONNECTED TO A REP IN THE UK.
That's the rule and the LAW.

It takes less than one minute to have your call re-directed to the United Kingdom. Tonight when I got redirected to a UK rep, I asked again to make sure - and yes, she was from NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE.

Imagine what would happen if every United Kingdom citizen insisted on talking to only UK phone reps from this day on.

Imagine how that would ultimately impact the number of UK jobs that would need to be created ASAP...

If I tell 10 people to consider this and you tell 10 people to consider doing this - see what I mean...it becomes an exercise in viral marketing 101.

Remember - the goal here is to restore jobs back here at home - not to be abrupt or rude to a foreign phone rep. You may even get correct answers, good advice, and solutions to your problem - in real English.

If you agree, please tell 10 people you know, and ask them to tell 10 people they know.....etc...Etc

Competetive Insurance Quote Tips

THE TRUTH ABOUT CHEAPER MOTOR INSURANCE


WHAT ARE DRIVERS LOOKING FOR?

If there’s one thing that all drivers have in common, it is that they are all looking for cheaper motor insurance. Motor insurance is something that drivers are required by law to purchase and cannot drive on a public road without. It is not something that they necessarily want to buy, and a large number of drivers would not bother with motor insurance if it was not compulsory. However, it does have its benefits. Motor insurance protects victims of accidents by providing necessary funds to compensate them when they are involved in a car accident that is caused by someone else. Motor insurance also protects the person causing the accident as they will not be personally liable for all the costs involved. Added to this is the fact that your own car will be insured so any damage to it, or injury to you or your passengers will be paid for by the motor insurance company.

However, no matter how good an idea motor insurance is, and how necessary it is to protect road users and passengers, it is a simple fact of life that spending money on car insurance is a lot less fun than buying a new car, and all of us have other things that we would rather spend our money on. While motor insurance is necessary, there is a definite consensus among drivers of all ages and groups, that the cheaper the insurance, the better.

Webiste Promotion Guide

I am often asked by people how they can promote their website and start getting the traffic all websites and businesses need, there are various methods you can begin to get you kickstarted on developing a popular website.

1) Search Engines Traffic.
Natural (or organic) traffic is type of traffic coming from all major search engines. If any visitor searches for some kind of information and finds your site in results, you get organic traffic! Unfortunately, it can be really hard (depending on your niche) to get website listed in the top of search engines. So one of things you may want to do – submit your URL to all major search engines manually. Usually just visit any search engine (where you want URL to be submitted) and type something like “submit URL” into search box. Engine will surely return a page where you may submit your URL for indexing. If your sites contains sitemap file (like sitemap.html or sitemap.xml), be sure to submit sitemap file as well - it will speed up whole indexing process.
