Hello folks,
8<---- (snip!) ------------------
e.g. You get five minutes to present a spiel about yourself/your company to let others know what you do (so we can know who to recommend if asked about particular products/services); you get to practice presentation skills and get feedback on that area (if you want it!); we all get to know each other better; you get to expand your tech directory listing with any related powerpoint presentation you have as a result
Having recently bumbled my way (badly) through once such presentation, I can recommend that people try this sort of thing out under "friendly fire" first! Along these lines - does anyone think that having (links to) PDFs available on the directory listings would be useful so that potentials clients, etc., can download flyers and other promotional material? The material could be hosted on our individual company websites if need be: the essence of the idea is that potentially interested viewing have "one click" access to the material instead of having to trawl our web sites. There are more general ways this could be built up, eg. a list of useful links for each entry (products page, company info page, etc.) Its a small thing I know, but it might be useful for some of us? As for talk topics, something along the lines of the practicalities of e-commerce would be useful to me. How do you rig up credit card payment /download schemes. What options are there. Who offers out-sourced solutions and what are there pros and cons. What are the legal/tax issues of payments from overseas. Etc, etc. Grant -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Grant Jacobs Ph.D. BioinfoTools ph. +64 3 476 1820 (office, after 10am) PO Box 6129, or +64 25 601 5917 (mobile) Dunedin, [EMAIL PROTECTED] NEW ZEALAND.
