Copyright 2006 Mary FoleyThe sad fact is that most Americans hate their jobs. Its pure drudgery and they’re just in it for the paycheck. It doesn’t have to be this way. You really can have a dream job, one that you really love and that pays you well.No, I’m not in fairy tale land. For the 10 years I worked for AOL, I can honestly say there were few days I didn’t want to go to work. The challenges of each position and the company’s ups and downs were never easy, but I always believed my contribution meant something and I felt that I was being fairly compensated. When this was no longer the case, I found another way to grow my career.But, unfortunately, my experience is not common. After even a few years into your career, you might be frustrated by any
Providing good customer service is a challenge for every software seller. It is a well known fact that satisfied clients are the best promoters for the software business. Keep in mind that customer support is not just about fixing a problem, but forming a relationship with buyers and creating an opportunity for future sales. In the very dynamic computer software industry, the quality and effectiveness of your software products must be accompanied by good customer service in order to be successful.
Your customers are not software professionals, so what might be easy for you, could present difficulties for them. Every software program has a certain level of difficulty, so don't patronize your clients and try to treat them as you would like to be treated if you needed help. And remember that "the client is always right" works for the software business, too. Try to be as tactful as possible to keep your buyers happy.

Do you have more purchase orders than what you can handle? Is lack of financing preventing you from fulfilling those orders? One of the most frustrating things that can happen to a business owner is to turn orders away – good orders – because you don’t have the financial capacity to fulfill them.Of course, you can try to get a business loan. However, business loans have their limitations as business financing tools. They are hard to get and have arbitrary limits, so they don’t grow with your business.Wouldn’t it be great to have a business financing tool that could handle all your supplier payments – provided you had purchase orders from good customers? How many orders could you close then?That tool exists and is called purchase order financing. Purchase o

How can I protect myself from fraud? Unfortunately, fraud does sometimes happen in small businesses. It tends to happen when a busy business owner puts complete trust in someone, and completely 'leaves them to it'. The employee comes to realize that no one is really checking or overseeing what they are doing, and when a grievance occurs or money problems arise at home, they succumb to temptation.Firstly, keep the means of payment under your own control whilst your business is small enough. Keep your cheque books locked in a drawer. If someone else writes the cheques, check they are all accounted for, instruct that any defaced cheques should have 'cancelled' written on them and stapled at the back of the book, rather than thrown away. For electro

Below are presented the most commonly used techniques of customer support in the computer software industry:
- Include a complete Help program in your software
It is the most frequent and convenient way of solving customers' problems. The help program should cover every aspect of the software you're selling. You can include a search box which returns relevant results, for keywords customers usually use when they need support. It is the most inexpensive and rapid way of dealing with your clients.
- Make it easy for clients to contact you, by phone or e-mail
Telephone assistance is particularly useful for users who have no real knowledge of computing, and need to speak to someone who can explain to them step by step what is to be done. Have a set timetable for the help line and publicize it in your software product documentation, website, etc. Always treat your clients with respect, be polite and offer easy to foll
