MenuWhat does enhancing client experience via online means to you?
This question has no further details.
Answers
It's not the number of people visiting your website, it's the number of people returning, that matters; especially when you are talking about online client experience.
Consider yourself your client. What would you want?
1. Easy to reach services?
2. Clear design?
3. Your friends following the brand?
Fill in the blanks.
It's not just about the information anymore, because there's plenty on the Internet. The presentation, the ease of getting it and relevance matters, when it comes to online experience.
Lastly, and most importantly, what your client online really seeks today in the crowded world of Internet is personalized attention!
Reply to him/her. Get in touch and build relationships.
It's delivering what they want and need in an enjoyable and engaging manner. Client experience is not just servicing a need, but making it a great process. It should be something they enjoy doing and and something that is not a chore. The best way to do this is to have a well designed product with an amazing user experience. If you give them an easy and enjoyable way to do their task then this is something they will not only come back to, but something they will be more likely to share with others.
Measure everything and then experience will become a metric and focus on getting that metric up.
Create a consistent way to gather experience quality across your customer interaction methods (email, chat, phone ...) i.e.
How well did the * at * solve this *?
Extremely well
Very well
Moderately well
Slightly well
Not at all well
Gather and analyse ALL the metrics. Monitor trends and work tirelessly to improve these trends.
Get back to EACH customer with a Not at all well experience. Understand them. Discern the sources of frustration and counteract them setting clear EXPECTATIONS (critical).
Doing this relentlessly should put you on track.
Happy to follow this up.

The first and foremost thing is to respond to all social posts. And that includes things on Twitter, Facebook and any other social channel including review sites, like Yelp and TripAdvisor. And I don’t care what industry you’re in, there’s probably a review site for your industry, where they’re talking about you.
And when I say, “Respond,” most people think, “Okay. They complain, I should respond.” No. Respond to every comment. I know that sounds like it could be big or daunting, but I think if somebody’s taking the time to write something nice to you, at least like their response, or recognise that you’ve read their response, you give them a little bit of feedback, even if it’s a sign of, “Yes, I like what you did. I re-Twitted you,” or maybe I actually make the comment.

What do (bootstrapped) startups offer to new sales hires? Commission only? What are some good examples to keep people motivated and still survive?
Generally bootstrapped startups should avoid salespeople, for a few reasons: a. they typically can't afford the base and overall comp required to attract sales people who can actually sell / or afford to support them with marketing, management, etc b. it will be very difficult to find the rare person with the right mix of sales and startup DNA along with the critical domain knowledge, consequently the startup is likely to settle c. the founders need to be very involved in the selling and customers will demand it That said, if the plan is still to hire a salesperson, find someone who has demonstrated sales success in startups and is excited by the early stage in company building. Create a comp plan heavily leveraged on sales results (unless you are in an industry where 100% commission is a common practice, would recommend against $0 base as this creates the false impression that your hire isn't passing time with one company while looking for another job with a richer comp plan - you want your rep focussed). Sell the vision and opportunity to be part of a growth story. I have written a several blog posts on hiring sales people into start-ups.

What is a normal churn rate for b2b saas company with an average monthly revenue of $850 per customer? Is 10% of the total monthly sales high or low?
10% of the total monthly sales churning on an absolute basis is near fatal. That means that within 5 months, you have 50% absolute churn per year, which reveals fundamental flaws with the service itself. Anything above small single digit churn is telling you and your team that customers are not seeing enough value in your product. I'd start by doing as many exit interviews as you can with those that have churned out, including, offers to reengage at a lower price-point while you fix the issues that matter to them. Happy to talk through this in more detail in a call.Tom WilliamsTW

How can I become an idea person, as a professional title?
One word: Royalties This means you generate the idea and develop it enough to look interesting to a larger company who would be willing to pay you a royalty for your idea. This happens all the time. Rock stars, authors and scientists routinely license their creative ideas to other companies who pay them a royalty. Anyone can do it. Your business, therefore, would be a think tank. You (and your team, if you have one) would consider the world's problems, see what kinds of companies are trying to solve those problems, and then develop compelling solutions that they can license from you. You have to be able to sell your idea and develop a nice presentation, a little market research and an understanding of basic trademark and patent law. The nice thing about doing this is that if you develop enough cool ideas you will have royalties coming in from a lot of different sources, this creates a stable, passive revenue stream that requires little or no work to maintain. Start in your spare time and plan on the process taking 3-5 years. Set a goal to have a few products in the market that provide enough revenue (royalties) to cover your basic living expenses. Then you can quit your day job and dedicate more time and increase the momentum. A good idea business should have dozens, if not hundreds of license contracts generating royalties. It's possible to pull this off. And it is a fun job (I'm speaking from experience).Mike MoyerMM

What percentage of VC funded startups make it to 100m+ revenues in 5 years or less?
100M+ in revenues in 5 years or less does not happen very often. As an example of one sector, here is an interesting data visualization (circa 2008) of the 100 largest publically traded software companies at that time that shows their actual revenue ramp-ups from SEC filings (only 4 out of these 100 successful companies managed this feat, which themselves are an extremely small percentage of all of the VC-funded software companies): How Long Does it Take to Build a Technology Empire? http://ipo-dashboards.com/wordpress/2009/08/how-long-does-it-take-to-build-a-technology-empire/ Key findings excerpted from the link above: "Only 28% of the nation’s most successful public software empires were rocketships. I’ve defined a rocket ship as a company that reached $50 million in annual sales in 6 years or less (this is the type of growth that typically appears in VC-funded business plans). A hot shot reaches $50m in 7 to 12 years. A slow burner takes 13 years or more. Interestingly, 50% of these companies took 9 or more years to reach $50m in revenue."Mahesh Bhatia (Early-stage pitch decks)MB
