From CEO's Desk

Welcome once again. May is for Mother's Day and Memorial Day in addition to the full onset of summer. Many of your customers are likely to be outdoors especially during weekends. With the incredible surge in Internet-enabled mobile devices, be sure to expect tons of traffic on your website from vacationing customers, prospects waiting at airport terminals and even a few lounging in their backyards during warm crisp afternoons. Most importantly, prepare for it with our affordably priced live chat solution so that the instant connect mantra can be leveraged to its limits.

Down the Pike
In our June 2010 issue, we plan to shift gears just a little bit and focus on the people who drive the technology in your online business. In our cover story entitled The Seven Characteristics of Highly Successful Chat Agents, we share a few insights on how to appoint chat agents who can not only sustain your existing sales volumes but also actively promote your business through live chat. Yes we know that there is no such thing as a letter perfects anything. However, it doesn't hurt to try to approximate perfection once in a while. Our lead feature for June is on going beyond your borders to achieve cost optimization. Entitled Outsourcing for Success, we will show you how you can effectively outsource your administrative tasks such as simple accounting and online marketing to qualified and experienced employees eager to serve you virtually for as low as $350 a month. Surprising as it may sound, these virtual assistants aren't from India or from China which have recently emerged as great hubs of offshore outsourcing activity.
