Hot!

How have you been finding work these past few weeks when the sun has been scorching hot? Here at The Lead Generation Group Ltd I can be found wandering around in Bermuda shorts and a Hawaiian shirt! – Actually, no, that's a sight that would frighten small children, especially in the height of the summer holidays!!!

However, there is a serious side to all this heat when at work; unfortunately the Health and Safety Executive still does not recognise when it's deemed "too hot" to work. They do say that employers have a duty to "assess the risk, put controls in place and give out a pdf heat stress checklist" to make sure workers are not at any risk. It's worth going onto their website and having a look at the list. . . On that I will leave you to form your own opinions.

What I am wondering, though, is all this heat affecting productivity? Not everyone is lucky enough to work in an air-conditioned building or have access to fresh air and it's easy to become overheated and feel lethargic and, therefore, feel less like working.

I'm guessing some of you prefer working in the summer: if you are heat-adverse then it's an ideal time to shut yourself inside, focus on your business and make preparations for the autumn and er, Christmas time ahead (there, I've said it!).

The Lead Generation Group Ltd is ready for your call at any time of the year. We are always prepared for the long summer days or the short, dark winter days; we know your business never stops and we don't either. If you want to spend the summer months running a sales and marketing campaign to make your business grow in the coming months, then don't worry about giving us a call. We are in the office during working hours, come rain or shine. It's our mission to make your missions easier.

How about a bit of "cold calling" on a hot, sticky day? What better way to cool down than letting us take the strain of having to make the type of calls that many find uncomfortable. We never shy away from making cold calls, but we do it in a friendly, human and warm way. No scripts, no robotics, just human being to human being. We like to call it conversation. You don't even have to scrabble around and find the leads before we make the calls, because we can do all of that for you.

Getting hot and bothered about your sales leads and making new connections is NOT what we want you to do: think of the savings – not only on deodorant but on your time. We are the 24hr, long-lasting product that keeps you cool and dry throughout the day, because at The LG Group, we don't stress about what we do, which means neither do you!

It may be hot, it may be sticky and it may be the sort of climate out there that makes you sweat, but when it comes to your business, we make sure you remain cool, calm and productive.
