Increase your sales through customer feedback, the 8 best ways to ask for payments and how to stay on top of your cash flow.

Digital technology has completely changed how we discover products, engage with brands and share our experiences with others. Amazon revolutionized customer feedback and product reviews. Social media transformed the way people share word-of-mouth recommendations, connecting shoppers to off-the-cuff opinions, compelling visual content and real-life experiences from peers and influencers they follow and admire. Sure, TV, radio and print ads are still part of the mix but they hardly carry the same weight as they did in years passed. This statistic speaks volumes: 92% of consumers trust peer recommendations over branded advertising. With the advent of social media and digital technology, brands have a powerful new tool at their disposal that brings word-of-mouth to the masses: usergenerated content (UGC).

The way in which consumers communicate is evolving; they are rapidly adopting communities, web self-service and social media for both personal and business interactions. Customer support organizations must adapt their strategies in order to provide effective online tools to engage with the customer on the customer's terms.

Having effective agents and happy customers can increase customer retention and the bottom line. New research by analyst firm Ovum and LogMeIn shows that the metrics associated with measuring the success of the customer service and support desk are changing. And it is essential for organizations to invest in the infrastructure that will prepare them for future success.

DevOps (short for development and operations), like most new approaches, is only a buzzword for many people. Everyone talks about it, but not everyone knows what it is. In broad terms, DevOps is an approach based on lean and agile principles in which business owners and the development, operations, and quality assurance departments collaborate to deliver software in a continuous manner that enables the business to more quickly seize market opportunities and reduce the time to include customer feedback. Indeed, enterprise applications are so diverse and composed of multiple technologies, databases, end-user devices, and so on, that only a DevOps approach will be successful when dealing with these complexities. Opinions differ on how to use it, however. Some people say that DevOps is for practitioners only; others say that it revolves around the cloud. IBM takes a broad and holistic view and sees DevOps as a business-driven software delivery approach  — an approach that takes a new or en

The past year ushered in some big changes for Online Reputation Management (ORM) — and the practice has become indispensable for any location-based enterprise. In 2017, review sources proliferated, consumers became more savvy about the validity of online reviews, and the position of Chief Experience Officer started to gain traction among locationbased organizations. ORM and SEO became increasingly intertwined as Google refined its search algorithms with a strong emphasis on reviews and star ratings. This year, expect to see these four trends move to the forefront: 1) Google will extend its dominance in online review volume and consumer exposure, eclipsing all other specialty sites. 2) SEO will be reinvented as user-generated reviews weigh more heavily in search rankings. 3) The voice of the customer will no longer be siloed across disconnected categories. 4) Consumer feedback from reviews and social media will drive operational improvements.
