Ah! Thanks Jonathan, I wondered why I keep tripping over DoH!

Powerpodiatry

If your podiatry skills are on a par with your marketing skills it is no wonder you are giving your practice away- question is , are there any patients left in it?

Watch my lips- I am a thriving one man band in the times of recession and I do NOT advertise anywhere nor market myself at all.

Now P*** off and get a life .

I have found this forum most entertaining, and even gave up an episode of "Little Britain" in order to carefully read the responses, as well as visit your website.

It sounds as though you have a very "giving nature", and I personally agree 100% that it would be a great idea to hand it over to the church. Perhaps it would be better still to share your marketing experience with the church, rather than charge a fee. This will be a double bonus for the church.

Judging by your comments posted, I don't think It would be much fun having you lurking around forever & a day, in a practice that has been "handed over" .

You might want to consider employing a locum to run your practice, with the intention of buying into the practice, whilst you you embark on a new venture in the marketing field. If you can't sell your "marketing skills", perhaps they are useless and you need to go back to the drawing, or perhaps a change in profession

Best of luck anyway!... "the writing is on the wall", so to speak

Here are some tips from consumerfraudreporting.org:

Tips on How to Identify a Scam or Fraud

If the email, phone call, prize or lottery notification has any of the following elements, we strongly suggest it is probably a fraud and you do not respond to it.

Below are some general tips to recognize scams. Detailed information can be found from the menu buttons at left:

The name of the company is listed on this website somewhere as a scam.

The email matches one of the definitions or formats on this website.

The organization has no website and can not be located in Google.

The email or requestor asks for bank account information, credit card numbers, driver's license numbers, passport numbers, your mother's maiden name or other personal information.

The email or caller advises that you have won a prize - but you did not enter any competition run by the prize promoters.

The email claims you won a lottery (we know of NO legal lottery that notifies winners by email)

The mail may be personally addressed to you but it has been posted using bulk mail - thousands of others around the world may have received the exact same notification. Especially true if you find an exact or similar email posted on this website.

The return address is a yahoo, hotmail, excite.com or other free email accounts. Legitimate companies can afford the roughly $100 per year that it costs to acquire and maintain a domain and related company email account.

The literature contains a lot of hype and exaggerations, but few specific details about costs, your obligations, how it works, etc.

The prize promoters ask for a fee (for administration, "processing", taxes, etc.) to be paid in advance. A legitimate lottery simply deducts that from the winnings!

The scheme offers bait prizes that, if they are real, are often substandard, over-priced, or falsely represented. Or, as part of the prize you can purchase "exclusive items" which may also be over-priced or substandard.

To get your prize might require travel overseas at your own cost (and personal risk) to receive it.

 

Well said!
:good:

 

Is it actually possible that this guy is for real?

Listen buddy, I will have your practice for free, as long as you except my gift of some magic beans.

If you plant the beans in some soil, a tree will grow, whisking you up and away into a magical land.

Oh wait, you are already there.

 

Well said - cornmerchant, Kevin, Jimbob and all the wonderful entertaining posters!
How many more P*ss Off's were needed????
Here's another P*SS OFF!!!!!!

 

Podiatry Arena is aptly named.

Get a person or a group then through them into the Arena.
Let loose the wild beasts (well trained for there part).
And the crowd Roars.

You are all so easy to manipulate.

Ok the site will come down, the offer will be withdrawn and the wild beasts will circle another. For the lurkers of the forum I hope you had as much entertainment as I in getting the pack to perform. It took a little effort a well designed trap and I to had to stop watching TV.

Now for some that may have formed questions rather than jumped up to defend their moral high ground blinding themselves in the ensuing rage I say to you:

If you are not in Business for Fun and Profit get out because you are doing something Wrong. If you stay you will need new skills for the future that is about to unfold. Result driven marketing is what you will need, just work out what result you want first (P*ss off was one of mine when I started this). As an aside just look at how many views this thread has achieved in such a short time.

Also for the ones that try to keep ahead by looking over the horizon I leave you with an answer I received from another forum that is contrary in itself.


Title : What products/services could be successful in a deflationary depression?
Original Message : In the coming economic crash, will people be willing to pay for education? What education products/topics will be successful in this depression?

Response Author : Multi-Author
Response : In his socionomic "Forecasts for the Social-Mood Downtrend" in the October 2003 Elliott Wave Theorist, Bob Prechter wrote under "Other Social Trends" (quote; copy available from Customer service; fee may apply):

Religion will become increasingly popular. Its advocates will become increasingly passionate. Religious intolerance will increase.
Belief in magic will increase.
New brutal sports will be introduced and gain popularity.
Conspiracy theories will become more plentiful, and more people will believe them.
Popular self-help books will change focus from wealth and self improvement to surviving hard times and beating adversaries.
Most restaurants will decline in popularity."Family-style" traditional fare and home cooking will become popular.
Well-off people will adopt fashions that conceal rather than accentuate their wealth.
Organized labor will grow and become more active. The number and severity of strikes will rise.
Public art, such as sculptures and murals, will become ponderous and ugly.

So if one is in the business to producing educational materials, socionomically it could make sense to focus on these topics.

A Final good buy and I thank the Lord that my patients aren't Podiatrists

 

PHP:

"A final good buy and I thank the Lord that my patients are not 
podiatrists"

Were you praising the book you mentioned, or merely a spelling error and you are finally saying good-bye. Hopefully the latter. I think you'd do really well delivering sermons.

(Perhaps the pun was really intended)


Amen

 

Sorry it is just good bye.

But with the steak knives have a look at:
