Scheduled WeCanDoCRM Downtime #wecandobiz #wecandocrm #scrm

Chris Butler — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 12:04:38 +0000

Our CRM partners InTouch CRM have sent us the following note…..

With more and more people joining the, the time has come for us to move to a bigger house….well, get bigger servers! We have been talking to our hosting partners at Rackspace and we are planning an upgrade to our servers to ensure that no matter how many people join us, we all still get a fast reliable application.

So moving day for us is Friday 11th November 2011 at 18:30 – this means the application will be down for a few hours while we move the database to its new home, with everything back on no later than 22:30.

If you have any questions about the upgrade and/or the impact it might have on your usage of the application, please contact us either via a support ticket or by email

Latest Corporate blog update…the content returns #wecandobiz #socmed #scrm

Chris Butler — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 17:23:22 +0000

I have managed to track down 150 or so historical items for the WeCanDo.biz blog. This represents pretty much the entire back catalogue so I am happy. Everything is there, the text, the links and the images. The part that is missing is the comments from our readers and members. Some articles had over 500 comments so that represents a huge loss for us.

But, we can build from here.

Thank you for your patience.

Slowly restoring all the good work but many comments have been lost.

Biz Needs Drive Sales

Over the next few weeks we will be publishing some articles designed to help you get the most out of WeCanDo.BIZ

We’d like to focus on helping you drive more business.

Our Biz Needs tool is designed to do precisely that. It may seem a little odd that something we give to help you buy the services and products that you need will help you sell more but it is a fact. The more people that place Biz Needs asking to buy something, the more chance there is of someone asking for what it is that you make or provide.

Biz Needs can of course only be used to buy something, they are all moderated by real people to ensure that only genuine needs are published and you can be assured that we take every effort to assure they are real, genuine leads.

You could also spend time looking at our Twitter Sales Leads Tool – a unique search to enable you to find real business opportunities amongst the millions of Tweets per day without all the hassle of searching and filtering. Please sign in here and then give it a try, click on the light blue box with the little bird (you’ll see it on your home page). If you don’t already have an account, then you can sign in with Facebook, Twitter or a whole host of other sign-ins, we do try very hard to make things as easy as possible for you.

And once you find your leads you can save them straight into our fully integrated Social CRM system and wethink that is very cool indeed.

Increase your prospects of doing more business

Of course in order to get more people involved and more customers looking for what you do we need to get more people involved. You can invite your contacts after signing in by clicking here.

OfficialWire: Business Leaders: Business Networkers Mourn Ian Hendry, The Man Who Started And Created We Can Do Biz

Chris Butler — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 21:02:43 +0000

Ian Hendry

I met Ian Hendry a month or two ago at a business networking meeting arranged by Business Scene in Datchet, an area on the way to Windsor.

At this event their were a number of different networks presenting their various portfolio, and among them was We Can Do biz with Ian it’s founder and creator standing in.

I remember standing in a group of three, next to Ian who was a genial guy, and subsequently collaboration started.

I later had a look at his networking site and joined, to becoming a full member in the last week.

I heard from Chris Butler his business partner that Ian had contracted meningitis in the UK, and then by email that he had died after a short illness at John Radcliffe Hospital Intensive Care Unit in Oxford.

I was to put it bluntly – gob smacked! I just could not believe it – he was in his late 30s early 40s and hardly the man to die.

Ian had something, an idea that he had spent considerable time on, and he was after all an internet guru.

Looking at his profile, a hologram appears – here is a man, immortalised in the net, an entrepreneur who will never die, a visionary who started something that business owners use to communicate.

Our deepest sympathies are with his family and friends.

I will miss you Ian definitely – goodbye my friend…
