			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p><em> </em><em>Since starting this blog and getting himself known, Minky is getting quite a lot of emails &#8211; thankfully he has some help!</em></p>
<div id="attachment_274" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 248px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-274" title="Network Monkey" src="http://www.aboveparr.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/P150709_11.05-225x300.jpg" alt="Minky ready for networking" width="238" height="258" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Minky ready for networking</p></div>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>Minky always has an inbox full of emails about “performance enhancing” products, his bank needing to check his details (even though he doesn&#8217;t actually bank with them!) and desperate widows trying to release their inheritance from evil dictators, but even though it’s rubbish it eats into his productive time and that costs him money! Considering what his “hourly” rate is he can&#8217;t afford to be sifting through emails, he&#8217;d be better off making (or selling) his product&#8230;</p>
<p>As professional administrators we know which emails are important to him and which are junk and can deal with them quickly and efficiently, sending him only the ones which are worth reading. With his consent we also reply to requests for further information about his products on his behalf, so that he has time to make those important follow-up calls that we all love doing&#8230;</p>
<p><em>Would you get better results if you only got the emails that were important to you?</em><br />
If you would like to know more about our services, or have suggestions for future posts please <a href="mailto:sara@aboveparr.co.uk">send Minky an email </a>and tell him what you think!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p>As Adam and the Ants once said! (Sorry if anyone under the age of 35 hasn&#8217;t even heard of them)</p>
<p>Been having great fun this morning trying to connect people on Facebook, but I think we&#8217;re all sorted now&#8230;</p>
<p>This particular exercise was social but it has got me wondering just how much use all this social networking is for business???</p>
<p>I have a <a href="http://www.twitter.com/aboveparr">Twitter </a>page, a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/profile.php?id=599259210&amp;ref=nf">Facebook </a>profile, an <a href="http://www.ecademy.com/account.php?id=368976">Ecademy </a>profile and post to umpteen forums on all sorts of topics. I quite enjoy it and find it useful for GETTING information, but just how useful is it for GIVING information??? Is anyone really interested in what I had for lunch??? Or am I just old???</p>
<p>It&#8217;s easy to spend hours on social networking (ask any teenager!) but is it a productive use of business hours??? I&#8217;m trying it out &#8211; partly because I actually have time at the moment while recovering from my op. I&#8217;ll let you know how I get on&#8230;</p>
