Question 1 of 10: “How much would the panel be prepared to invest to save 1 hour a day of an employee’s time?” – Gordon White, Voicescene

The ‘Reverse Dragon’s Den’ is a free networking event and ‘Question Time’ style panel discussion that gives business people the opportunity to gain advice and insight from successful local entrepreneurs about coping with the present credit crunch.

The Plymouth panel comprised • Richard George of Scream-IT • Damon Leszner of Pacific Staff • Joseph Louie of The Astor Hotel • Barry Cole of Riviera International Conference Centre and was chaired by Jeremy Filmer-Bennett of the Devon and Cornwall Business Council.

You can quiz the panel at the next ‘Reverse Dragon’s Den’ in Exeter at the Exeter Court Hotel, Kennford on Friday 11th July. Please contact The Business Exchange to book.

In this free case study podcast, Matt Cummings tells how his company turned a £13k Adword spend into £65k of new business

Speaking at a Wired West event in Exeter last week, Matt takes us through how webrecruit.co.uk put Adwords to work after a shaky start.  If you’re thinking about using Adwords, you should give this a listen.  Matt’s talk demonstrates a strong business case for using AdWords – and for paying for professional management of your campaign.

Technical note for those interested in podcasting: This was an ‘unplanned’ ambient recording using just the m-Audio Microtrack I with its plug-in mic with the result that the ‘signal-to-noise’ ratio was low (i.e. less voice, more room ambience). Normally, we use a wireless lavalier mic to capture seminar style talks because it keeps the signal-to-noise ratio as high as possible (i.e. more direct voice and less room ambience).

Escape – in a podcast

May 20, 2008 By Leave a Comment

stream in devonPodcasts can be a break from routine – great for relaxation, information or entertainment

One of the benefits of a podcast is that it can create a space outside of the normal world of work.

This was recorded at 7pm yesterday at a stream in the woods near my home.

If you need to concentrate in a busy environment, this kind of white noise can create the space to focus on the task at hand. Just put on the headphones, adjust volume to preferred level and… get on with what you were doing before.
