Get Email Marketing Right with Proper ACT Contact Management Training


The email marketing success in the U.S. can partly be attributed to marketers' collective mastery of A/B testing. This methodology involves creating two versions of a certain medium and sending out the version that attracts more traffic. It also experiments with pairings of elements like subject lines, email content, and send dates/times. Regardless of what you hear about the supposed ""death"" of this old strategy, keep in mind that customers can't get a social media account without an email address. On top of that, people open their email when it comes to confirmation of transactions and the like. Email, in other words, remains a relevant medium.

Act! Contact Management Software Boosts Call Center CRM Performance


Customer service representatives play a crucial role in the strong bond between businesses and their clients. They are the middle men, so to speak, who break communication barriers, working to maintain and improve sales. It’s imperative that they are well-versed in all things related to the company, from its products and services to the location of its headquarters and details of its current programs, in order to respond to the needs of the customers adequately. Unfortunately, a lot of companies are struggling to improve their customer relationship management (CRM) systems despite having amply trained customer service representatives. Comcast, the nation’s largest cable provider, is one good example of a company suffering from the effects of poor CRM. Its most recent crisis is documented in an eight-minute customer service pain call, which was widely circulated in the Internet and heard by millions of people, many of whom are both current and potential customers.

IT Services in Baltimore, MD: Protecting Employees from Cybercrime


In a study conducted by the Business Continuity Institute, results showed 73% of business continuity managers are afraid of how cybercrimes would impact business. The same managers also expressed concern over the Internet as an access point for cyber-attacks and how it should be monitored closely to protect businesses of all sizes. While there is merit to those concerns, especially after cyber-attacks on the White House and many of the largest banks on Wall Street, business owners should be more concerned about how cybercrimes affect their employees because this effect on victimized employees, in turn, ultimately impacts their business. In particular, business owners should pay more attention to identity theft.

Network Support in Baltimore, MD: Fend Off Hackers This Holiday Season


According to an October 28, 2014 report from The Washington Post, hackers were able to infiltrate computer networks in the White House. Investigators believe that the hackers are affiliated with the Russian government. White House officials reassured the public that only superficial documents were touched, and that the hackers were unable to gain access to classified material. This story comes as a somber reminder of how vulnerable most IT systems in the United States are; the ones based in Baltimore are no exception. This is especially true during the holiday season, as many hackers know that targeting small businesses at this time of year tends to be profitable.

Use ACT Contact Management Software to Improve Customer Relationships


A famous quote from renowned essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson stated that a person’s greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time from each failure. As encouraging as it sounds, this is actually easier said than done, especially when it comes to business. Sensible owners would not take the risk of making an investment when there’s a very low rate of success. Business failure is often caused by two things: economic downturn and mismanagement. While the former is inevitable and not the fault of anyone involved in the business, the latter is definitely the owner’s responsibility. If you own a business and you want to eliminate the chance of failure, you have to pay attention to one of the most important aspects of a business: your relationship with your customers.
