Advertiser meeting ..

[JamesSmith]

In the process of setting up a meeting with an advertising firm for July, informal kind of meet and greet. They get to know us, we get to know them.

Unfortunately I don’t own anything remotely smart, being 18 and all. As it is informal .. Would the usual jeans and a t-shirt suffice? :P

Hm...first thoughts is that first imperssions count, so when you meet with them, it'll be a good idea to project a sense of your business by how you look. Even in informal meetings I'll wear a suit, because I want to convey a sense of professionalism, and my company will be judged by that. If I wore too casual an outfit, I might look less serious as a businessman or marketing gentleman, and my company image be therefore compromised for that.

[JamesSmith]

Had this meeting today, didn’t wear a suits, put on the smartest stuff I had :P

Was ok, the guys at the company weren’t wearing suits so I wasn’t out of place.

My first time also walking around central London etc. My ideal place to live I feel

[Brian Turner]

They weren't wearing suits? If they were after your money - ahem, services - then I am rather surprised by that.

[JamesSmith]

It was an informal meeting, I actually prefer todo business that way.

James,

You own a successful business (UH Hosting) at a young age (18 I believe)

How did you create this successful venture, and what from?

Thanks,

[JamesSmith]

With £100 and a bit of luck throughout the years.

[S.Craddock]

£100! Wow! How did you invest your £100?

[JamesSmith]

Started with a reseller account, that was £50/month. Made back the money needed to pay for that, things grew and grew, we expanded accordingly into new areas. Eventually with our own racks, servers and so on.

[S.Craddock]

Well Done. Did you design the site yourself or have a pro?

At what age were you when you signed up for the resellers account?

(P.S) sorry, if I'm asking to many q's, I'm intrigued.
