About My Company

ROKPOOL.COM is an online music archive featuring lost hidden and forgotten music from the last 60 years.

Use of the web and VOIP means that many Jobs can be accomplished by contractors located in very different parts of the world, and PPH makes finding these gems possible; the PPH payment and escrow mechanism is also a valuable tool for both contractors and principals, enabling complete strangers to contract together with negligible risk to either party.

About My Company

The Specialist Washing Company's proposition is excitingly new, consisting of the development and marketing of a number of models of ritual washing appliance, each suited to a different environment (www.specwash.com). The WuduSeat is designed for the workplace, commercial and/or government building, schools, hospitals and so on. The WuduSeat-R (Residential) has a smaller footprint for the home and the WuduSeat-M is designed for mosques; the Wudumate is slightly different in concept, being a portable, foldable bidet, designed for ablution when travelling. You can see that these sectors incorporate both B 2 B and B to C, meaning a huge market, made even more challenging by being truly global. This poses a significant marketing challenge for any organisation, especially a small, privately funded business like ours; with the help of PPH however we are now able to undertake small, focussed, competitively priced campaigns to identify specialist outlets in almost any part of the world, and to get our proposition in front of them. After posting a Job, we generally get offers from a number of parts of the world, we can examine the profile of bidders to determine which have the most suitable skills, enabling us to often to appoint contractors who speak the local language, and often even using contractors actually based in an overseas country we are researching.

I believe the site offers an ideal solution to my needs, which are wide and varied but sometimes regular or sometimes just a one/off. The current economic climate has meant that there are many skilled people looking to fill some time at work or create a secondary income outside of their main Job, and companies such as mine can only benefit from having access to these people. I have believed in Peopleperhour since my first visit and wish it every success.

We found Megan, who's now a regular team player handling our Client's media monitoring reports.
I also use Nadine, a VA from PPH, to regularly drag my timelogs out of me and type them up.
But there's a lot of smaller Jobs, both personal and professional, that collectively build up and become a hassle. You end up tackling them well after midnight when they've become urgent. Then you're half wrecked the following day. But PPH are taking these off my hands as well, and doing them better than I could because other people bring focus to the specific Job plus really useful relevant experience. For example, I posted a Job to contact all the care homes in our area to set me up with appointments to visit, so I could find a good home for my mother in law. I chose Lyn as she is a former PA to a care home director. She gave me a brilliant checklist that flagged up all sorts of issues I hadn't thought of. That really helped me sort out the services on offer. When she sent me my appointment schedule she also attached the official Care Commission's inspection reports on each of the homes I was to visit. From knowing very little about care homes, she put me into a pretty knowledgeable position. The cost was just £60, but the peace of mind it bought was priceless. My mother in law looks happier than I've seen her look in years.

About My Company

I am the Managing Partner of Answers & Solutions Kent which is a telemarketing company. We work for smaller businesses, finding new Clients, making appointments, list cleaning, market research and customer surveys. There are seven of us (about to go up to nine) and we all work remotely - we are a virtual company.

How we saved costs

Based on our understanding of average rates for copywriters, we consider ourselves to have saved £140 (or 50%) on this Job alone. Moreover, we'd rate our chosen Freelancer, Sue Dunn, as well above average, so consider we were also able to access a very high quality service. I think the PeoplePerHour.com system works well for the Freelancer as well as the Client as costs of acquiring new business and time spent in identifying quality Freelancers is significantly reduced on both sides. In short, it's the ideal solution for time-constrained small businesses.
