Why do 100,000 SMEs not avail of government business supports? Too complicated, too much paperwork, too busy??? Not so says Conor, where they're working to simplify application processes and they've brought all supports under one National Enterprise Hub roof. You asked, they delivered, they say. Best of all, according to us, you can talk to a human, person-to-person, about your issues (though only 9-5pm as we find out). Still, progress.</p><p><br></p><p>Irish people can open doors brilliantly but are cr*p at closing sales. Self-proclaimed failure and Aussie, Steve Donnellan, founder of the SME focussed Soaring Sales Academy, gives us a taster of his 90 day programme that he says can change your selling success. How? Well you'll just have to listen. We love his no-nonsense Australian approach.</p><p><br></p><p>With thanks to De Facto Shaving Oil. </p>","author_name":"Conall Ó'Móráin"}
