TripAdvisor is a monster that is out of control and you know what happens to out of control monsters ??? They get shot !!
More and more people are joining the movement against TripAdvisor which allows people to post defamatory comments on it’s website and then denies any responsibility for them doing so.
Duncan Bannatyne is one of the more recent victims,
and it must have come as a bit of a shock to him to find that even with all his money you can do very little to move TripAdvisor when it is on the rampage.
In general the comments on TripAdvisor are polarised towards those that are either trying to damage the business in question or those that are trying to defend it.
People only actually take the time to write on TripAdvisor when they have something they really want to say – whether good or bad.
Blackmail is commonplace with TripAdvisor would be posters threatening hospitality venues with ” a bad review ” unless they get ( whatever it is they feel like demanding – a discount, a free meal etc etc ).
However, when everyone realises that the comments on TripAdvisor are worthless pieces of make believe then what is the value of TripAdvisor ??
I feel sorry for all the hospitality business owners who can do nothing against the TripAdvisor monster.
When they try to respond to defamatory posts TripAdvisor delays or fails to post these responses. ( This is implicitly giving control and ” right ” to the defamers ).
Complaining to TripAdvisor ( as Duncan Bannatyne found ) is next to worthless as they simply defend themselves like cornered rats.
My advice is to invest in a blogsite that complements your main website ( or is part of your main website ) and to understand how to SEO your blogsite to get it ranked for e.g. Reviews about ( The name of your establishment ).
As a powerful website TripAdvisor will always get ranked high itself by Google etc but this does not mean that you cannot rank alongside or ahead of it for certain search terms.
With your own blogsite you can respond in detail and in the way you want to to any posts put on TripAdvisor in a timeframe that suits you.
If you are looking for a phone system in Dorset then Cisco FutureLine is one of the most popular systems to be installed by small and medium businesses in the Dorset area.
Companies ranging from lawyers to wealth management companies and garages to marketing and PR companies are benefiting from the flexibility, support, low cost, ease of moves and changes and advanced technology that Cisco FutureLine phone systems bring.
These are just some of the quotes from happy Dorset businesses that have bought Cisco FutureLine phone systems:
“Initially we opted for FutureLine because of the flexibility it
gave us. When we first started we weren’t sure how fast we
were going to grow and we needed to ensure that whatever
we choose we would always have flexibility. When we
recently added an extra member of staff, we simply placed
an order and within 24 hours the new phone was installed and
being used. The ease of use is great. The FutureLine team is
easy to deal with, they are very knowledgeable and always
quick to respond to any query. Also I now only have one bill to
pay rather than several and about the best thing is that it’s
about half what it used to be”.
Tim Gallego – Partner – Poundbury Wealth Managment
“The Futureline phone system offered us all the features we
needed at a price that suited our budget. We now have a
new phone system and we are paying less a month for phones
and line rental than we were before. We’ve used ring groups
and hunt groups to make sure we never miss a call. We can
see which number the customer has called so we can track
sales campaigns and we can review call records to help us
plan better for the future.”
John Johnston – Manager – Ford Harbour Bonfield Garage
“We wanted a phone system that would give us ultimate flexibility
whilst still ensuring that we paid a fair amount for the
features we needed. The ‘all inclusive’ package from Future-
Line allows us to easily manage our budgeting. The flexibility
has been fantastic for us. We have moved offices several
times and there is never any fuss – just a simple, quick move.
Each time we add a new member of staff it is a simple, quick
process. We know in advance what it is going to cost, so planning
and budgeting is easy.

We have range of options that not only suit your business, but can grow and change as your business does.
The features you need, at a price you want.
Our standard telephone systems come with all the features below needed to successfully run any business. Apart from all these useful components, we can also customise your system to provide what you need for your individual business.
Free calls within your own company – All calls to your other offices or home workers equipped with our VoIP phone are entirely free of charge. Calls to other land lines and mobiles are cheaper than BT’s standard rates.
Lower call charges to everyone else – Our phone call charges are significantly lower than most national phone companies’ standard prices without compromising any quality.
Single Bill, Single Point of Contact – One bill and one phone call for all your calls, line rental, broadband and even your IT support.
Main number voice mail – Collected from the phone, remotely or by e-mail. Callers can leave a message out of hours or when your reception staff are busy, safe in the knowledge that their call will be returned swiftly.
Individual voice mails – Any employee you choose can have their own voice mail. Messages can then be forwarded to their e-mail account, mobile phone or can be accessed from their desk phone.
Individual call forwarding – Individual phones can be set to Do Not Disturb. Calls can be forwarded to other extensions, mobiles, home numbers etc.
Presence Indication – See when your colleagues are already on the phone – Have you ever transferred a call to somebody only to find that they are engaged? See with ease who is on the phone or available.
Fully customisable – You can turn on and off features, or add them at a later date.
Easy access to call reporting – Reports are available for you see exactly who has been calling where and for how long. These are issued automatically with each monthly bill.
Geography free – The system can receive numbers that are normally associated with different parts of the country – London for example.
Music on Hold – let your customers hear music while they are on hold.
Home workers – The system can support remote users so working from home becomes easier.
Road Warriors – The system can connect you with those members of staff who are always on the road.
If you would like to see and try one of our phone systems, just call us and we will arrange for a free demonstration.
Additional Services
PSL can supply any other services you might need for your new telephone system, such as a broadband (ADSL) lines and routers. We can also provide servers, PC, e-mail and anti-spam service through to desktop PC support.
Automatic greetings – Many professional companies are now or will soon be required by legislation to ensure industry specific announcements are made to each and every caller. Remove the worry for you and the hassle from your reception staff by recording the important messages and letting the system automatically play them for you.
Automatic call routing – Callers can choose 1 for sales 2 for accounts etc. This can save resources on reception and enable calls to be answered with more speed and efficiency.
Paging Service – Do you need to know about emergency calls out of hours? – No problem at all with our system.
Conference calls – Easily talk to any other group of people without the need to get in the car.
Personalised numbers – Individual users can have their own direct dial number – where only their phone will ring – ideal for you to give to your premium clients. These can be geographic i.e 01 or 02 numbers or non-geographic numbers such as 0800/0844/0871 etc
Multiple company numbers – The system can accept calls to multiple numbers and will display the number the caller has dialled – i.e. ‘Sales Order Line’.
Operator software – this can give specific users the ability to drag and drop incoming calls and see the status of all users within the organisation.
Company Specific Directories – these can be synchronised with ‘off phone lists’. Public folders in Microsoft Exchange can be linked to the phones for example.
Click to dial – allows you to select a number on your desktop and dial it by clicking with your mouse.
Screen pops – can show you information about who is calling and be linked to your other internal software, if the necessary external connectors are made available to us.
Time aware behaviour – The system can do different things automatically at different times of day. i.e. all calls to voicemail after 5.30pm.
