People often ask me about factors that they should be taking into consideration before signing up for a web hosting service. Unfortunately, there is not one, simple answer. Instead, different types of requirements can be served with different types of services. You can start with narrowing down your own requirements. Don’t forget to make two distinct lists: ‘must-have requirements’ and ‘optional requirements’. Once you are aware of what you need out of a web hosting service, second step would be deciding your budget. This is probably the easiest step of all because you would know that already somewhere in the back of your head. There are heaps of hosting providers available in the market. Hence, we started our search with narrowing down what we are looking for. A simple Google search can return several services and it might be hard to choose from. But if you keep your list of requirements in front of you, it would be much easier. Here is what you can do to ...

When member service goes wrong, think “damage control”. A good recovery process can turn angry, frustrated members into loyal ones. It can create more goodwill than if things had gone smoothly in the first place. On the other hand, the failure to resolve the problem results in the member spreading their dissatisfaction to many other people. Think about the last time you had a complaint that was not resolved. How many relatives, friends and co-workers did you tell? Studies have shown that for every 100 dissatisfied members, 4 will formally complain, 91 will tell 8-10 others, and 5 will tell 20 others. That turns into over 800 people receiving a negative view of the credit union! Five Steps to Service Recovery 1. Apologize. Start by telling the member, personally and sincerely, “I’m sorry.” Members don’t care whose fault the problem was – they want someone to champion their cause. So sincerely apologize on behalf of the credit union and take resp...

How to find a data recovery service? I just typed this into the search engine using Google and Wa-la. Data recovery services are in inexhaustible supply. So now the question is, “Which company is right for you?” Are you a business looking for a data recovery system or an individual? A business will probably need a company to do it for them. However an individual may be able to recover their data with a simply software program. You must first try to discover what happened to cause the problem. Some recovery software sites offer a free service of finding the problem of the data loss and providing the information as to whether it can actually be recovered by their software. If the software can recover your data, the recovery software may be downloadable on to your computer. Some problems may be more complicated and may require a recovery technician. Some companies may or may not charge for this service, some companies may offer a free trial. If an individual can not fix the pro...

Small business branding is simple when you remember one thing: it’s all about the customer’s experience. Here’s a true story from one of my professional speaking travel logs: It all started at the airport. The free shuttle van to the hotel arrived and a pleasant man with white hair and a huge smile stepped out and did something no shuttle driver has ever done. He shook my hand and introduced himself as Robert. In that moment I knew this ride was going to be different. Instead of selecting a seat in the back, as the only rider in the van I decided to ride “shotgun” – in the front seat next to Robert. For the next few minutes Robert kindly shared with me the recent history of the area, talked about his family and little grandchildren, and chatted with me about the weather. When I asked him to re-route to take me to a drug store to pick up an item I promised a friend, he didn’t hesitate. Then he quickly took me to my destination and carried my bag ...

Distance, time zones, culture and language no longer limit where companies of any size have customers, suppliers or service providers in this age of seamless commerce between continents.
