    Every individual sets out to create a positive impression of themselves. It is no different with companies both large and small. There are three foundational laws to any business - The law of attraction, the law of engagement and the law of retention. In all cases we seek to create an impression. The most important function of Marketing is creating a positive impression in the eyes and experiences of your market. If you don't, you will have no clients and make no money. Eight areas of every business lead to either a good or a bad impression. And if you have not considered the importance of creating a good impression, then consider the car you drove to work this morning. Would you do business with an individual that makes a promise and doesn't live up to it, tells you they will call back and don't, arrive late at a meeting, look sloppy? Or a company whose business card is on a piece of paper, whose premises is a mess and whose receptionist is barely functional and often rude? Impression is vital to any company. Impression is the very experience that your customer has with your company at every level. Create a bad impression and you are compromising your business wholesale.

    ADDRESSING A WORLD OF CHANGESignificant changes are taking place in the world of business right now that can no longer be ignored. The way people engage both in business and with business is rapidly shifting. Three critical changes will define business in the very near future:1. PERSONAL 'OWNERSHIP’: Corporate strategies will gravitate towards an intrapreneurship approach to business which gives the individual more ‘ownership’ of their field of expertise. Individuals will be given more freedom of operation while being held fully responsible and accountable to their tasks and goals in business.2. FLEXIBILITY: Because of this they will be given more flexibility to work where, when and how they want as long as specified goals and tasks are met on time i.e. accountability.3. PERSONAL 'GROWTH’: Individuals will demand control over their future growth thereby moving away from expensive and often ineffective formalised learning and training organisations towards less expensive informal but highly effective mentorship, coaching and self-learning programs.Co-working Spaces, although aesthetically very sophisticated, are currently in their functional infancy. They are however set to play an important role in the lives of these 'nomad' entrepreneurs, affording them a credible office location, work flexibility, meaningful B2B and B2C interaction and a professional atmosphere in which to work. Likewise, online interaction and collaboration will become the new learning space. Formal training will be replaced by informal self-learning as and when required, and supported by online and on-site coaching and mentorship.WHAT IS PEOPLE & PLACES?People & Places is an online and offline activation program that facilitates the promotion and realisation of these realities. We promote the Co-working Spaces by being the central booking service and additional Marketing arm to Co-working spaces worldwide, and we promote the growth of the individuals and businesses within this space.
