I appreciate you taking the time to visit my thread.
Let's get started -- there's not much time to waste
Goals. We've all got them.
Having the right ones makes
all the difference.
The underlying objective of the entire web hosting industry is to ensure clients are satisfied. While there are a seemingly unlimited number of factors working against client satisfaction, it's my goal to ensure that at the end of the day clients have nothing but the best to say about your service.
With web hosting being such a competitive market every bit of client satisfaction makes a difference. Satisfaction converts directly to word of mouth recommendations and free exposure.
Oh, and hello. I'm David. I've been involved in the web hosting industry since late 2004 as a customer representative and directly managing marketing and general business administration. I have been responsible for managing clientbases up to 5,000+ users singlehandedly and have had testimonials the length of small novels written about my service.
On the side I can be found inhabiting most *nix shells, optimizing systems and managing servers. I also feel quite at home sitting in front of a client discussing their needs, arranging and engaging them as a real person.
Servers might be listed as a Capital Asset but clients are the truly valuable ones.
