Ring Central Offers Cost Friendly Choices to Small Businesses

A few months ago and definitely off topic of plus size fashion, my partner in my travel business mentioned that we needed to have a way that clients could get in touch with us without having to dial numbers in two states. The solution to the problem was to sign up with Ring Central. In a nutshell this company offers individuals and small businesses an alternative to doing business via a house phone or cell phone. Basically it adds a level of professionalism to a small business at an affordable price.

You could call it a plus-sized legal victory for Casual Male (Nasdaq: CMRG), the leading retailer for big and tall men. Massachusetts awarded the clothier $1.5 million in damages stemming from a non-compete clause it had with a former employee.

Don’t do business with ISpeedway.com

As a business owner I know the value of time when it comes to making money. Nothing will kill a sale faster than wasting my time. A few weeks ago I came across an opportunity to get involved with auctions to make some extra money on top of what I am already doing.

I gave my credit card info and got the package in a few days. Considering this was a new venture I was looking forward to digging into things. Well the business that I already have along with a better opportunity came along so I called up ISpeedway.com to let them know I wanted to cancel.
