Word of mouth article
Here's an article about a company that relies on word of mouth to drive sales. While this particular company is not a host, I thought the article was an interesting read.
It's always been said that word of mouth is very important in the hosting industry. Hopefully this article will spark some ideas on how to increase word of mouth levels.

For every one customer you will please they will tell another.
For every one customer that is NOT pleased... they will tell 10.
Great article!

Its true. We spend VERY little on advertising. Almost all of our new customers come from word of mouth. We average between five and ten new signups a day.

5-10 new signups a day is great! I can only see companies growing once they pick up steam. As long as they keep doing what they were doing to get the recommendations...CybexHost.com - Shared and Reseller Hosting Solutions on cPanel/WHM Linux Servers
