Keep abreast of what your competitors are doing. Many times I talk to people who are in business and yet have no idea even of who their competitors are. Also, find out about your customers. Who are they? What and why do they purchase from you? This will help you to get more of the right type of customers.

Match the correct heading to the paragraph.

My work is pretty varied. I have to make sure that the publishing programme matches market requirements, and ensure that we keep stocks of 300 or so of the books that we publish. We have very high standards of information and content. We receive many letters from readers on issues such as the representation of international boundaries and these, in particular, require a careful response. I discuss future projects and current sales with со-publishers. I work as part of an enthusiastic group which makes the job that much more enjoyable. The negative side, as with many jobs, is that there is far too much administration to deal with, which leaves less time to work on the more interesting tasks such as product development and design.

Raquel Graham rings from the taxi taking her to the airport. She can’t make our appointment tomorrow because her boss wants her to be in Los Angeles instead. When you’re a personal assistant to a pop star, you’re expected to jet around the world at the drop of a hat. Raquel loves her job and gets on well with her boss. There’s just one minor problem – she can’t stand flying. ‘On a nine-hour trip to California I usually take sleeping tablets to help calm me down,’ she admits. Her worst experience was being on Concorde. ‘It seemed so shut in with those tiny windows.’ Offices in Manchester and London occupy her when she comes down to earth. There’s some mundane paperwork to get through – organising the diary, sitting in on meetings with solicitors and accountants, sorting out itineraries, and making yet more travel arrangements. She didn’t apply for the job. A chance meeting with the manager of a pop group led to the offer of work behind the scenes and she took a secretarial certificate in evening classes at the same time. Five years later she was in the right place at the right time when her boss needed a PA.
