Breaking Down a Project Lead

by | posted in: Construction Chat | 0

What is a project lead?

I would define a project lead as first-hand data obtained by our team of researchers from industry deal makers, that can be applied by our subscribers in order to identify opportunities and secure work contracts.

How do we obtain our leads?

As a Regional Content Researcher, it is my job to know what is happening where and when. We source leads by using extensive research methods, which are but are not limited to the following:

a. Desktop research by analyzing non-numerical data (e.g., social media, videos, news articles, etc)

b. Telephone – We as researchers conduct data collection via ongoing face-to-face and (or) ongoing phone discussions. The contact timing lasts from the conceptual phase of the project to completion. Unless there are contractual changes to the professional teams.

We use these methods to gather in-depth insights into the industry. Our methods ensure that we source quality and timely leads.

What are the stages of a project lead?

These are the following stages of a project. For more details on the stages read: Pertinent Project Stages

  • Conceptual
  • Procedural
  • Design
  • Tender
  • Awarded
  • Underway
  • Complete
  • Postponed, Cancelled or L2BShelved

Who would benefit from receiving project leads?

A company/Individual that would benefit from our leads is one that looks to achieve the following:

  • Expand their project pipeline – The way our website is designed and all the other services and features we offer – when used properly, in conjunction our leads, it can simplify and hasten any company’s pipeline.
  • Grow their network within the industry. The more industry professionals a sales rep meets, they essentially are building brand visibility and awareness.
  • Boost their revenue – when used correctly our leads can maximize a company’s ability for reaching financial targets.

Why You Should Submit a Tax Return Annually

by | posted in: General | 0

From an amateur with no tuition in taxation, and if you are anything like me you don’t want to get on the wrong side of the taxman and incur unnecessary penalties and fines, you will submit your tax return annually.

Although SARS states if you earn below R500 000 annually and meet certain criteria it is not necessary to submit a return, I feel it is still a necessity.

Do you have medical aid, retirement annuity or contribute privately to your company pension fund? If you answered yes, then you may in line to receive a tax refund. Should you pay into any of the above be sure to submit your tax return with all the relevant documentation/information.

Are you planning on emigrating soon? If so, you will need to receive a tax clearance certificate in order to receive one, you need to ensure that you are tax compliant and in order to be compliant, you need to ensure that all your tax returns have been submitted and that your tax affairs are in good order.

From personal experience, should you be retrenched one day, your employer would need to apply for a tax Directive for you, should you not be in good standing with your tax affairs, the outstanding amount along with penalties will be due by you, SARS will request that your retrenchment pay-out be paid to them to cover the outstanding.

SARS is continually taking the initiative to make the filing of tax returns hassle-free, they recently implemented their auto-assessments, which makes the process super easy, so I suggest if you haven’t already, register for e-filing and start submitting your tax returns annually.

Why does IT ask you to clear your cache?

by | posted in: Did You Know | 0

Have you ever called into L2B with a website functionality query and our staff ask you to clear your cache? Ever wondered why we, or IT, ask you to do this?
Caching helps with data retrieval from websites that you have visited on a web browser. Cached data assist web pages to load faster, as a portion of its content gets saved on your hard drive when loading it for the first time. Depending on your web browser settings and the number of websites that you have visited, cached data can potentially use up a lot of your computer memory. Clearing your cache protects your personal information from being picked up by a hacker and helps your web browser to run expeditiously.

In many instances when troubleshooting a website issue, caching is usually the culprit that prevents a web page from loading correctly. For example, when a new version of a website is rolled out, the cached data from the old version can cause the new version not to load up correctly. In most cases just clearing your cache would resolve the issue as this action forces the web browser to pull down a new instance of the website.

Like many things, it’s about finding the right balance. Clearing your cache frequently is not recommended, as you lose all the data acquired from all the websites that you have visited. This is not exactly ideal because when visiting any of these websites again your web browser will re-download all the data again, hence increasing your web page loading time and probably using more of your data. So, it’s best to clear your cache when there is an issue or if you have not done so in a month.
