Winning new work is easy, isn’t it? It’s all about selling your services to others.

Fine in theory.

But I’d rather eat cold black pudding than make a new business presentation. However, if we don’t get a regular flow of new clients, our freelance business won’t prosper.

Thank goodness, then, for Pawel Grabowski’s new e-book: The Smart Business Guide to Winning New Work.

Pawel started his blog ‘Self Employed Cafe‘, about the same time I started this blog. A few days ago, he sent me a copy of the e-book he’s just completed and asked if I’d give it the once over.

If, like me, you hate the thought of putting your ‘sales hat’ on, then this book is for you. What I really like about it is the fact it doesn’t just focus on WHAT you need to do. It also shows you HOW to do it.

My colour inkjet gave up the ghost the other day and, because I had no idea about what kind of printer I should buy to replace it, I asked my IT guy.

He suggested two: either this one from Brother or this Lexmark Pinnacle Pro 901 For some reason, the Lexmark printer was marked down from £299 to £99. I bought that one. (Although I have to admit I was a bit suspicious – why was it at such a low price?) Anyhow, it has turned out to be such a great printer that I decided to write a review about it.
