Overview

Hot-wire your e-commerce efforts with a too-often missed marketing advantage: SERVICE!  Whether you market to businesses or consumers, the secret to successful e-growth is to build in service that meets the high expectations of Web buyers, delights them, and keeps them coming back for more.  E-Service gives you the blueprint for a reliable, end-to-end system of customer service that seamlessly leverages the Web's unique features.  (It even includes a seven-lesson crash course - in case you need to jump-start your online service efforts in a hurry!).

Ron Zemke and Tom Connellan, two of the gurus affiliated with the best-selling Knock Your Socks Off Service series, spell our 24 proven ways to differentiate your Web site with fantastic service!  You'll learn how to:

  • Become an ETDBW (easy-to-do-business-with) company.
  • Turn ho-hum customer "satisfaction" into "hockey-stick loyalty."
  • Put your current e-service efforts under the microscope - and spot the weaknesses that can alienate customers.
  • Simplify and accelerate your Web interface without sacrificing sophistication.
  • Personalize the e-experience.
  • Turn service mistakes into customer gold.
  • Create a retention strategy that makes customers stick to you like Velcro.
  • And much more!
