Improving Customer Communication
What do your customers hear when they call you? Are calls quickly and professionally greeted? Can callers reach the right person quickly? Do sales staff miss calls and messages when out of the office? Does a caller hear "beep beep" when on hold, or do they hear your marketing message?

Phone systems make your business sound and work like a professional organization.

  I met Kevin on Biznik very shortly after I joined. He has gone out of his way to educate me on the Telecom industry. He has given me a generous amount of time and an incredible amount of insight as to his industry. He proved to be a valiant, patient instructor and I would not hesitate to recommend his services based on his knowledge, skills, and integrity. Thank you Kevin!! els   [less]

  Kevin Selkowitz is an icon in the Hage household.

  On his counsel, we spent $99 on a Netgear Wall-Plugged Ethernet Bridge XE-102 and I've been online ever since.

  The Apple Airport router doesn't seem to have made a difference. Neither did Clearwire versus Comcast.

  Selkowitz knows his stuff.   [less]

  In late July, I was on vacation and out of the Northwest. A client called me right in the middle of my week off and they were having a huge problem. Well, I called Kevin and his team and they were out there the same day making sure my client was taken care of. Upon reviewing the situation with my client, they were ecstatic with the service they received. Kevin and his team rock! I will always count on them!   [less]

• What’s Response Point Doing at Costco?

  Posted Wed, 18 Jun 2008 by Kevin Selkowitz

  Microsoft released their small business phone system, Response Point, to great hoopla in late 2007. It seemed their intent was to use their Partner program to get the product out to small businesses. This market strategy made a lot of sense, but their recent moves to undercut that model makes me think that plan isn’t [...]

• How Softphones Can Be Useful

  Posted Tue, 10 Jun 2008 by Kevin Selkowitz

  A softphone is a software phone which runs on your computer and let you make and receive calls anywhere with an internet connection. I use the Eyebeam softphone to connect to my office phone system when out of the office. You might ask, why not just forward to your cell phone when out of the office? [...]
