Ski and snowboard holidays

Get away from it all: ski and snowboard holidays

Want a change of scene? Feel like your lungs need a breath of fresh air? Swap a wet winter for the crisp crunch of virgin snow. Book a snowboarding or skiing holiday from Travel Doctor, the winter sports vacation specialists, and find yourself standing under a bright blue sky with sunshine sparkling off the clean white snow in front of your feet. We'll find you the best quality powder, the most exciting off-piste trails, the most challenging black runs and the friendliest nursery slopes. We know that, once you've escaped the daily grind, you want to get on the slopes as soon as possible, so we'll cut out the long transfers and ensure that the piste is on your doorstep.

Good morning <07 Name>

Mixing with our business owls and picking their brains for the wisdom they possess! There is no cost to Meeting of the Minds, you just need to give up a couple of hours of your time for the chance to make some new connections...

FabnFunky will be launching their fab new catalogue at our event and Alan Bunce, business editor of Berkshire Media Group, will be on hand to hear your stories. If you are a business journalist, a PR guru or a media student, then get yourself along to our "Meeting of the Minds" and find yourself a top story.

If you have a product or service and are looking for publicity then come on down to the Harte and Garter on 28th February and tell those who care to listen your story. Come and connect to business men and women who could help you on your journey. Book here.

Talking of journeys, need a holiday? Get yourself off skiing, NRG's Dave is just back, how was it mate? If you are looking to do International business then you should consider giving bilingual employees an incentive. If you're flying, you'd better give some thought to your carbon footprint. Improve yours and save a bundle on mileage with some good telemarketing help. Consider our ability to fly content up the Internet with a spot of "Strategic Product Levitation". Perfect to get your products and services found when people are searching. Obviously if you don't want people to find you then keep yourself a secret!

Are you selling to other businesses? Do you need a constant stream of sales leads? Then telemarketing might be the answer for you. Five times the response of direct mail and email shots

Creating your future today...

Where are you going?
Imagine what it would be like if you had a compelling vision of what you wanted to achieve in your life and the kind of relationships that would enable you to attain it. What if you knew how you were going to achieve all of thisÑmaybe in less time than you imagined?

Today, in this chaotic world, many of us feel we have no choice. Our lives feel out of balance. Perhaps our relationships are not as we would like them to be. Maybe we feel disillusioned and frustrated that happiness eludes us.
