Domain names have become a necessity in today’s day and age. Unfortunately, acquiring a domain name can be confusing, difficult, and time-consuming. Before acquiring a domain name, an online business should consider trademark availability and corporate name availability in addition to the domain’s availability.

You will need to do this on a daily basis as the data can change any minute. Pick those words/phrases that are closely related to the theme of your website/blog or to the products that you sell.

Five Steps to Service Recovery - Complaint Recovery Process For Credit Unions

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...
