Customer support is very important when you're running a business, whether your business is on or off the net. If your customer support is hopeless, you'll soon find your customers running away from you and worse, telling others to stay away too.If you're like many of us out there, the last thing you want to do is to spend the whole day replying to customer support emails. Here are 4 easy steps to help improve your customer support and at the same time reduce the time you spend replying to queries. The trick here is to help your customers help themselves before you help them.- Step 1: Start with a Knowledge base / FAQsThe first step to your support system is to set up a knowledge base or, if you have a quite straight forward product, a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section.

Over the last three years I have heard so much about outsourcing benefits and defects that I think I can write an entire book on this subject now.
First let us start with the definitions
outsource
v : obtain goods or services from an outside supplier; to contract work out; "Many companies outsource and hire consultants rather in order to maintain a flexible workforce"
outsourcing
Paying another company to provide services which a company might otherwise have employed its own staff to perform, e.g. software development.
Most of my views would be based on my experiences and sites I visit often. This particular write-up is more from what I have read on SFGate which is a local San Francisco paper. One of my clients in the Bay Area had once sent a link to me about an article on outsourcing from SFGate. From then on, I have been a regular with this paper. What I like about this paper is that when CNN reports about Iraq Prisoners abuse, SFGate reports on the Ford Mustang turning 40. It is a welcome break to see this. Ofcourse they carry regular news of death and war too.
SFGate is carrying out a special report of outsourcing. I'll pick some of the good ones here. Let's start with Straight from the mouth: Executives speak out which has views of some of the CEO's of companies in the Bay Area. The best I liked was the comment from Scott McNealy -
You sound like a piano player in the old days when there were 35,000 piano players playing in the front of every movie theater when they had silent movies. You're saying, 'Who's going to employ all of us now that they have sound embedded in the films?' Gang, we've got brains. There will be lots to do. What's an American company? We do half our business internationally. Does that make us an international company or a U.S. company?Global companies grow global
Business Management consultants should learn how to write children's books because so often in business when we are trying to mentor other business leaders, MBA students or small-business owners we find that they do not nearly have the mental faculties to handle the business world.A business management consultant who writes children's books will learn how to explain things in a very simple way with simple stories that anyone can understand. It is not that I am cynical of the up-and-coming business professionals entering industry, but rather I have observed a lack of abilities and mental capacity to handle the challenges of a fast paced new world in business.A business consultant who writes children's books will have practiced methods of explaining complex scenarios to people who do not h

You awake in the middle of the night with a business idea that will change the world. The only problem, of course, is you need money to get the business moving. What do you do?Investors and EquityPractically every economy is built upon the backs of small businesses and entrepreneurs. Every day someone comes up with an idea that will make a great business. Every day, these same people wonder how they will come up with the cash to get the business off the ground. The classic answer is to look for investors, and this is where things can go bad.If you’re seeking investors for your business, you are going to need to form a business entity. Corporations and limited liability companies are the most popular, and give you the ability to trade ownership interest in exchange for cash contribu

Intrigued?Suspicious?Don't worry, I'm not about to suggest any mind control techniques!In fact, I'm going to suggest something quite the opposite. But first, let me explain why this article is about "getting people to give you what you want."Well, the truth is, no matter what you do for a living - whether you're self-employed, run a business, manage people or work for someone else -- you need OTHER PEOPLE'S HELP to get ahead.Whether it's getting customers to buy, managers to promote you or give you a pay rise, colleagues to help you... much of your success -- however you define it -- depends on persuading people to give you what you want.So how do you do it?You know what I'm about to say, right?Yes, that's right: to get others to give you what you

As attractive as it may seem – even glamorous, perhaps – being a Consultant takes work. It’s a job. It can also be a business, a career, even a profession, depending on the attitude with which you approach the effort. And, yes, becoming a Consultant does take effort. Make no mistake about that.What do you need to start? Something you’re good at, obviously. Well, not just “good,” but as one of my college students once put it, you have to be “gooder” than everyone else. Can you believe a college student saying that? He did. Anyway, to put it in more acceptable terms, you have to have some knowledge, skill or talent – some ability – that’s more than, greater than, better than most others in your field.You can’t be just “an expert.” You have to be “the expert.” “An expert” gets

He has made some very good points - 1) Creative destruction and 2) Think global. One has to be competitive globally and not locally which in the end means using resources all around the world to get the best products and services at the best price. Creative destruction is a phenomenon which takes place in every industry. All chariot makers lost their jobs, due the emergence of the auto industry. The floppy drive industry is almost dead. Optical media has more dominance and it is a matter of time before the magnetic media completely dies. Every industry goes through this shift and so would the software industry. In the software industry, the market is still alive but to get competitive, the delivery model has changed to a combination on offshore and onsite.
Most of the bigger companies today in the US are global giants and not local companies. They have clients and offices all around the world. When they get revenues from all parts of the world, how does one expect them to spend it only in the US. This is something that is true for all cooperates. Toyota for example has factories in the US. The Toyotas sold in the US are made by Americans. However, Toyota is a Japanese company. Now if the Japanese complain that the manufacturing should be done in Japan, then Toyota would cease to grow at the rate it is today. All my childhood I used to think that brands like colgate, dettol , bata are Indian. That is the extent to which most of the companies have localized today. Software is no exception. MS has a windows version in German for the German market for which they need Germans.
