I need the travel agency to give me my money back, can I sue them if not? -

I bought a ticket like 5 months ago. My destination was Peru with many stops. In one of the stops I had to saty in Panama for one night (14 hours) when I bought the ticket all the itineraries were like that. There was not warning or any info about having to get a visa for those tickets. yesterday me and my daughter were at the airport when found out that we couldnt flight becasue we didnt have visa to be in panama. I dont know why they put those itineraries when we just want to go to peru. They dont want to refund the money and even a company want to reschedule the flight they coudlnt becsaue it was bought throught an online agency and it was conbine with continental and copa airlines. I am a single mom and I worked so hard to finally buy the tickets and spend the holidays with our family in Peru. I dont have any relatives in here, you can already imagine how we are, I falling into a depression right now but I think i must do something, can somebody help me to have a direction? thank you so much.

I don t think that the travel agency was at fault in this situation. You should have looked up the laws of international travel and found out if you needed a visa for any stop-overs. All you needed to do was to purchase a tourist card that was good for 30 days, for all of $5 or $6 per person.

What ways do you get your clients if you have a service business? -

What percentage is from advertising? word of mouth? or other ways? Do you get clients from just giving your elevator speech or random talking to people you meet as you go about your day?....I would rather not advertise was wondering if I could be successful with just talking to people at the grocery store or attending community events or parties. I would like some insight on this. If you do have results from just meeting people, how do you do what you do to get the client to set up an appointment?

Depending on your business. You attain clients by knowing your niche, knowing your target market, and knowing every aspect of what your selling. You know these things you will know how to start. Try doing a business plan outline. Cut and paste this and print it out. Answer all the questions you can and then you will see what you need and what you need to know. Once you see it on paper its totally different.http://www.business-plan.com/outline.htm��

Direct contact is good, but also putting up signs in schools, supermarkets, church bulletin boards as well as advertising on the internet and ads in local newspapers could help. If you wanted to maintain your privacy though, have a dedicated phone number that you would only use for business, and on the ads I would only put the phone number but not your address until people call you and want to do business.If somebody calls tell them you are on the other line and that you will call right back that s what taxi service do and it avoids problems Good Luck PS I wouldn t use your real names for your firm but something generic like Here to Help, or Home Beautification, Inc. That ll ensure you even more privacy

Offered a job cleaning houses and not sure what is required of me? -

also how is this usually paid?

Most cleaning jobs are paid weekly. Sometimes, it is a lot of work particularly if there are children in the homes.The Owners will tell you what to do. Make sure you write down their instructions.Also let the owners take you on a tour of their home.Cleaning a house is easy, do it the same way you clean your own.
