Seeing the wood for the trees

When you're entering information a website to publicise your business, sometimes it's easy to miss the obvious. Quite by chance this week one of our members called up about a tender and happened to mention that they run a translation service. As we have a client looking for a Japanese speaking recruitment consultant Angela asked if they knew anyone suitable.

It then turned out that although the members skill profile included Translation and Interpreting they hadn't actually entered skills for all the languages they cover - so hadn't received an alert about that particular project.

I think the moral is you should always ask a 3rd party to give your website and other web profiles the once over as they are likely to spot things that you're too close to the business to see!
