Web Hosting Support
| |
| I’ve had to change web hosting companies on more than one occasion simply due to the fact that I wasn’t getting the kind of web hosting support that I needed. Once, I had a simple technical problem that needed little more than a yes or a no answer from the customer service representatives, but my attempts to even reach the company went in vain. First, I called, but the 1-800 number I was given – the one that was supposed to be 24/7 support – did not work. Then, I emailed, but those too were fruitless. In the end, switching companies cost me more than it should have. This article is to help you avoid going down the same path I did. |

We’ve adopted a large corporate feel in that we have 20 representatives who can do technical support – each company will have a dedicated representative and three tiers of backup reps. Our clients establish relationships with certain representatives and we try to match the personality of our client with our staff. |

Would you get A Tattoo of the General Motors’ Logo?
| |
| When was the last time you were really excited about the customer service you received? A recent survey showed that 44% of people rate the customer service they usually receive as dull and bland.
Most customer service experiences are, well ok, and we unusually come away somewhat satisfied from the experience. This is all well and good, but most of your competitors are already doing this. To stand out from the competition you need to demonstrate customer service on a dramatically different level: service that is anything but bland and dull! Think Disney, Harley Davidson, or Apple.

Why you should stop trying to delight your customers
| |

Five Attributes that Lead to Exceptional Customer Service
| |
| As a business owner, I have developed a keen sense of the attributes of people who are highly motivated as well as those qualities that lead to counter productive behavior. Regardless of the industry, customer service is key to the success of your business. Unfortunately, there are many examples of people whose poor customer service has been memorable: people who have left us on hold and forgotten about us, waitresses who never return to our table, the customer service person who leaves us on the phone for several minutes. We all have experienced poor customer service at some level.
This article illustrates how Five Attributes Can Lead to Exceptional Customer Service. I refer to them as the PAULA(sm) Customer Service Success Program.
