Simon Hamer’s Summary
I was a shy individual. With age, I realised that I was actually quite intelligent and fortunately I found some excellent guidance through "The Magic of thinking Big" by David Schwartz and "Skill with People" by Les Giblin. Through a liking for this type of self help culture, I read and listened to more and more of this uplifting mind food. This literally changed my life, by opening up my expectations and dreams for my future. On the strength of the knowledge of life in these gems I planned and hunted down my wife.. I changed my employer from HSBC Bank to Lloyds TSB Bank plc and my career in banking took off.
With my new bank I won best branch in the region award with my first post and a four day trip to Venice. Several rapid promotions followed.
I left in 1991, when most banks were shedding staff.
I went into debt counselling, interest rates were at a peak in the UK, the public needed proper cool headed advice. As the most successful consultant ... I became the National Trainer for the Debt Counselling franchise.... due to the creation of my own marketing materials.
These two dove tailed careers taught me one thing....... with a few hundred pounds a month extra you could drastically change most peoples lives or happiness. So the search began... what could produce this for most people... that they could all do.
Wide ranging experience.
Training, National Trainer.. Debt Counselling.
Sales Director Telecoms.
Banking Retail Manager & Marketing
Networking leader and Mentor...
Social networking advocate and trainer
Social networking virtual assistant
Mentor & provide the tools to build an industry giant
Create something with a soul... not just an income.

August 2008 — Present (1 year 5 months)

Google gets you seen. Yawn !
Here's your reputation destroyer.
Your staff, your SEO and your web design company are not going to tell YOU they've done a bad job for YOU. They may not even know they are incompetent... and they surely will not advise YOU they are less useful than YOU think they are !
You need independent unbiased opinion to get a true perception of how the world sees you or your company. That is me !
True Examples
I went on a site for media consultants.... so you would agree they understand media ... and its uses.... but their video did NOT load quickly and it did NOT play properly ... and the previous 11 videos on other sites, I'd watched that day had all loaded and played perfectly.
Here's another example you upload a video to Youtube, but what speed does it need to view it properly, and what speed can they download it at, will it play properly, do you get anyone to check?
Had an email this morning 2 April 2009... after 12 minutes the 7 minute video was 1 minute in... I clicked close, and moved on.
I've clicked on many sites, and I get no idea about whether I want to employ their services or not .... so being undecided, I move on ... and the money they've spent on getting seen is wasted, simply squandered. -
