So how do you rise to the top and achieve success in that type of business environment? A simple shift in perspective along with some thinking “outside the box” can yield positive results.

Zane Safrit joined us on Small Business Trends Radio this week to discuss how his company achieved business success - and even growth - in the looming face of certain doom. He covered several important issues, including: JumpUp

  • Why customer service is a crucial area of focus;
  • The importance of eliminating unnecessary expenses and how to determine which ones are not yielding positive results;
  • What Zane’s company began doing for new customers and referrals to stand out above the rest and the huge positive response received from clients as a result;
  • What Zane’s “Company Snitch” program is.

Zane Safrit has been the CEO of Conference Calls Unlimited, a service provider of web and audio conferencing and collaboration services, for over 6 years. During this time, the company has transitioned from competing primarily on costs to now competing on value.

    Very good interview. I couldn’t agree more that customer service is key to success. Zane offers some really good points.

  2. SEO Specialist - Terry Reeves Says:

    Companies that downplay customer service will feel the impact and see the complaints on the Internet. More and more, sites are popping up to provide a voice to those who have been abused by a companies actions or lack of actions when a complaint is lodged.

    As the social aspects of the net grow to include the average user, companies will be forced to deal with customer service as a major influencing factor to the consumer’s decision making process. Companies need a friendly face and voice to compete and succeed online and off.
