I am a freelance hairdresser and I am also a distributor of FM COSMETICS offering high quality perfumes and fragrances containing 20% perfume oil compared to the weaker Eau de Toilette containing 6-8% which people often purchase on the High Street.

FM COSMETICS do not have Celebrity endorsement, costly packaging, TV or glossy magazine advertising or retail overheads.

All of the FM Group products are sold, via Independent Distributors. Our prices therefore are kept amazingly…

I mentioned to some of you that I am training to cycle from Land's…

Firstly I want to thank Helen Burbage  the Wizontheweb for telling me about a great little book on business communication. It is called The Jelly Effect by Andy Bounds it is a gem.

Best tips on networking I have ever come across, these are just a little snippet of what is on offer. Simple I know but that is what it is all about.

Before the event:

• Know who you want to meet

To bring with you

• A name badge

Upper case or lower case? Or combination of both?  Numbers, letters or combination? Symbols? Why not? 

And what about all those extra security questions... First boyfriend's name? Can't remember if I asked him!  Favourite teacher? They were ALL horrid if you ask me!
