Hi everyone,
As many of you know I am a business person, I've been in many fields and now run Very PC in hillborough. Throughout my travels I've collected a shoe box of business cards,

Today I sorted all of the business cards and put them into folders:
Black Folder: For potential people I've never used
Orange Folder: For people that have been crap and should be avoided/
Blue Folder: For people I've used that have been OK or I can't remember how good they were.
Marroon folder: For people that I believe to be exceptional, would vouch for, recommend to others and use again myself!

I was going to list the orange folder and put all their personal details so they get spam. :hihi:
But then I thought, be more positive, list the maroon folder. That way people who need good suppliers can use my list for reference and avoid the sharks! I don't want to list all of their personal details publically as they might get spamed, so if you want to get in touch pm me and I'll pm you their business card!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I don't think it would do any harm posting their business name? Surely the businesses concerned aren't bothered about good publicity.
