Add Value - And Kill Mediocrity in Customer Service
There are two kinds of customer service we all experience occasionally, outstanding customer service, and bad customer service. What we experience most of the time is mediocre customer service.

I have had some business blogging success in the past. I blogged the way the “pros” say to blog. My blog pointed to my autoimmune information site. The purpose of the blog was to establish my credibility as an expert on autoimmune disease, direct traffic to my primary website, and then ultimately make book sales from that site. It worked. People were convinced. Traffic flowed. Books were sold. Glowing testimonials from happy customers followed. (You get the point.)

Following the same format and style, I started another blog for homeschoolers. (This blog focuses on combining homeschooling and a home business under one roof.) While commenting on other homeschoolers’ blogs to increase traffic to mine, I realized that my blogging style needed to change. I was accustomed to writing and posting non-personal, informational articles. Appropriately so, there were no pictures of my children, garden, or latest c

Appropriately so, there were no pictures of my children, garden, or latest craft project on my autoimmune information blog. This blogging style was perfect for sick individuals looking for someone to trust, but not for homeschoolers.

What I discovered while visiting popular homeschoolers’ blogs were posts that were long, essay-like, and highly personal. I also found lots of pictures of kids, family projects, and apron patterns. Yes, apron patterns. (It was as if I had entered some kind of online apron fashion show.) Although I don’t sew aprons, I can certainly stitch in more family pictures and make my blog a stronger blend of personal posts and professional advice.

The lesson for this homeschooling entrepreneur – KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE!

The catch phrase of the 1990s, Customer relationship management, was an instant darling of large and medium business houses, which in theory promised to develop and manage a happy and cordial relationship with customers. Now a decade and more into customer relationship management, organizations are slowly realizing that the unwieldy process is no longer easy to handle easily, as they initially thought, and forging a relationship forever is not gaining ground.

Customer segmentation is all about understanding the people you sell to and who you would like to be your customers. Once you have an understanding of this then you can ensure that you build your products and services to meet the demands of these markets and become a market orientated company, which in turn should lead to greater profitability.

The Internet is perhaps the easiest medium of transferring files, especially files that are large in size. This has been made possible by the system called File transfer Protocol that is more popularly known as FTP. The files you transfer could be anything from documents and designs to games and music.
