DIARY MANTAINENCE We would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone about the importance of keeping their diary with us up to date. Our service is unique because we have the ability to take on work for our clients according to their instructions, but it is important to remember that work we accept on your behalf constitutes a verbal contract with the fixer. We would be grateful if you can spare us a little time next time you call to check that your diary is working in a way that suits you. Please clarify that the instructions we use to refer or take on work are correct, and that we have all of your diary commitments - no matter how small. If you have personal plans, ask us to put the time on refer. By doing this at regular intervals we can run your diary more efficiently. If you would like to go through your instructions, please mention it next time you call. We can take diary updates over the phone, by email, or by fax. If you would like to be able to update your own diary over the internet please ask us about the internet diary. TEXT MESSAGES We have the facility to send you a text to alert you to new diary messages. If you would like more information, please mention it next time you call. However, we are unable to receive replies to text messages. So please ALWAYS respond to texts by calling the office. CV BROCHURE Fixers will be receiving the latest edition of our CV publication in September. If you would like to update your entry, or have not yet sent us a copy of your CV and would like it to be included, please make sure we have received it by the 1st September 2004.
