After all, you’re seeking the right tools for your bread and butter, so you need the right knife to cut the bread and spread the butter.</p> <p>According to Spherical Insights, the laptop market size in the US was <a href="https://www.sphericalinsights.com/reports/united-states-laptop-market#:~:text=The%20United%20States%20Laptop%20Market,USD%2022.94%20Billion%20by%202033." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">worth $19.03 billion in 2023</a>. The market is on pace to grow at a 1.89% compound annual growth rate to reach $22.94 billion by 2033. The growth is due to, firstly, higher consumer demand and, secondly, more use of laptops in educational environments. Spherical adds that companies are also increasingly getting on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bring_your_own_device" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">bring-your-own-device</a> (BYOD) bandwagon to simplify operations.</p> <p>RELATED ARTICLE: <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2020/03/13/office-equipment-every-startup-needs/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">OFFICE EQUIPMENT EVERY STARTUP NEEDS</a></p> <p>When looking for <a href="https://www.hp.com/ca-en/shop/list.aspx?fc_seg_bus=1&sel=ntb" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">laptops for work</a>, what should you consider? Here are five things to think about.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-operating-system"><strong>1. Operating System</strong></h2> <p>Ensure you get a computer with the right operating system for the work you do. If your company uses devices with specific operating systems, for example, buy a computer with the same operating system. It will make things easier should you require help from tech support. If your company’s BYOD policy accommodates computers with virtually any operating system, you’ll have flexibility. But check with your company’s IT department to see what’s permissible so you get a machine you can use.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2-random-access-memory-for-your-work-computer"><strong>2. Random Access Memory for Your Work Computer</strong></h2> <p>Random access memory (RAM) matters a lot when it comes to a computer. While some sources suggest a minimum of 4 GB, a work computer should have a minimum of 8 GB. And it might make sense to get twice that RAM capacity if you’ll be running applications that are RAM-intensive or if you’ll be storing massive documents and files. You’ll also find multitasking easier if you have more RAM than the bare minimum. The last thing you need is a computer that can’t keep up with your work demands. When on the hunt for the best laptop deals in the US or the <a href="https://www.hp.com/ca-en/shop/list.aspx?sel=ntb" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">best laptop deals in Canada</a>, don’t forget to consider how much RAM different computers include. It might also make sense to get a model you can upgrade if you need additional RAM.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-3-hard-drive-for-a-work-computer"><strong>3. Hard Drive</strong> for a Work Computer</h2> <p>You should also consider the hard drive when seeking the right business computer. While you can save money by buying a laptop with a mechanical hard drive, you’ll be at a disadvantage because a mechanical hard drive has speed limitations. It’s best to pay a premium and buy a computer with a non-volatile memory express solid-state drive, or <a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/404627/what-are-nvme-drives-and-should-you-buy-one/">NVMe SSD drive</a> for short. You’ll get better overall performance and more responsive boot times.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-4-the-size-of-your-work-computer"><strong>4. The Size of Your Work Computer</strong></h2> <p>Size is another spec to consider. Some people prefer smaller screens since such laptops are easier to tuck into a bag or briefcase. But you might favor a larger screen for readability. A larger screen is also a good idea if you want something more like your PC than your tablet. While the screen size is worth mulling over, decide based on your personal preference.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><div class="ast-oembed-container " style="height: 100%;"><iframe title="History of Computers – How were Computers Invented Short Documentary Video" width="1200" height="675" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Aqg6LxGCz44?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div></div></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-5-new-or-used"><strong>5. New or Used</strong></h2> <p>You can get a great deal on a used laptop, but there are good reasons to buy a new one instead. A brand-new unit will last longer than a used unit. You can also get a warranty when you go with new over used. Even if you get a warranty for a refurbished unit, it won’t be as extensive as the coverage you’ll get with a new laptop computer.</p> <p>Yet another reason to choose a new computer for your work over an old one is that a used unit might have hidden problems you don’t see before you buy it. It makes more sense to purchase a unit that works as expected right out of the box.</p> <p>RELATED ARTICLE: <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2022/10/17/blogger-revamp-blog-attract-readers/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ARE YOU A BLOGGER?

You’ll want a unit that can handle whatever assignments or responsibilities are on your plate, so ensure you get a machine with specs and configurations that match what you need.</p> <p>RELATED ARTICLE: <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2024/03/02/marketing-2024-staying-ahead-curve/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MARKETING IN 2024: STAYING AHEAD OF THE CURVE</a></p><p>The post <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2024/05/07/5-features-consider-buying-computer-for-work/">5 Features to Consider When Buying a Computer for Work</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz">BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Guide to Boosting Employee Engagement</title> <link>https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2024/05/02/guide-boosting-employee-engagement/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Carrol Strain]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 02 May 2024 21:45:51 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Careers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Entrepreneurs]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ideas]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Lifestyle]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Opportunity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Productivity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Running Your Business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Workplace Safety]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.business-opportunities.biz/?p=309374</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>It is critical to have a thorough grasp of how to boost employee engagement.</p><p>The post <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2024/05/02/guide-boosting-employee-engagement/">Guide to Boosting Employee Engagement</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz">BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES</a>.</p>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h6 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-featured-image-by-anna-shvets"><em>Featured image by <a href="https://www.pexels.com/@shvetsa/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anna Shvets</a></em></h6> <p>Regardless of the size of your business, your employees are the driving force that keeps it running and allows it to grow. Employees are more likely to perform efficiently when they are engaged. To ensure the organization’s long-term performance, it is critical to have a thorough grasp of how to boost employee engagement.</p> <p>Disengaged workers may perform poorly or feel dissatisfied with their jobs, leading them to consider quitting. This may reduce production and profitability. In the worst-case scenario, disgruntled employees may create an unfavorable or unpleasant workplace. This can result in greater disengagement and the decision by other team members to leave the company. If your business is facing any of these challenges, focusing on improving employee engagement may be the boost you need to enhance morale, promote productivity, and aid in staff retention.</p> <p>This article will focus on the main strategies to increase employee engagement.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-model-your-company-s-values-and-mission"><strong>Model Your Company’s Values and Mission</strong></h2> <p>Employees are more invested in their jobs when they have a sense of meaning and purpose, in addition to being able to support the company’s goals. Create a summary of the organization’s principles and a mission statement first. Next, make sure that all of your employees are well-versed in these elements. Doing so will make sure that everyone working for the company understands its core values and how they shape the company. Employees will then have a better grasp of their role in upholding those values. </p> <p>If you want to hold your team members accountable, set a good example for them to follow. If this doesn’t happen, a distrustful atmosphere will flourish. Employees could even stop caring about their jobs.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-provide-opportunities-for-employee-engagement-and-professional-growth"><strong>Provide Opportunities for Employee Engagement and Professional Growth</strong></h2> <p>Millennials and members of Generation Z place a premium on professional growth opportunities. This priority has only increased in importance over the last several years. Workers care about more than just the paycheck. They also want to know that they can grow in their careers and that there is a clear route to success.</p> <p>RELATED ARTICLE: <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2022/03/19/how-to-create-positive-work-environment-all-employees/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HOW TO CREATE A POSITIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL EMPLOYEES</a></p> <p>Motivating and demonstrating to your employees that they are valued team members is an indication that a firm is eager to invest in personal development, whether via in-house training programs or sponsored further study.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-create-a-culture-of-employee-recognition-and-engagement"><strong>Create a Culture of Employee Recognition and Engagement</strong></h2> <p>The single most significant aspect of employee engagement is gratitude. Furthermore, research predicts that companies with highly visible recognition cultures are 2.5 times more likely to have higher levels of employee engagement. Consistent and focused recognition, such as <a href="https://www.edco.com/appreciation-award-wording" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">appreciation awards</a>, can help to make your team members feel valued and recognized. You will achieve this by highlighting the positive qualities that employees possess, thereby maintaining their engagement in their work. When employees know their hard work will be appreciated, they are more motivated to keep going, always reaching for their maximum potential.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><div class="ast-oembed-container " style="height: 100%;"><iframe title="EDCO Awards & Specialties" width="1200" height="675" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jDBHR-5ZXIA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div></div></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-create-a-workplace-free-of-fear"><strong>Create a Workplace Free of Fear</strong></h2> <p>Many companies and organizations prefer to operate in a performance-oriented environment. However, this type of setting can foster the development of fear and uncertainty. </p> <p>On the other hand, your employees will be more engaged if you allow them more chances for memorable professional experiences and let them make choices on their own without micromanaging them. It is a simple fact that people in performance-based environments learn to be fearful of criticism. They hesitate to take important actions because they’re afraid of repercussions if their decision doesn’t work out. So if you’re in charge of a firm and you punish employees when they make mistakes or make the wrong choice, you’re setting your employees up to become disengaged and afraid to take risks. But remember: Risks are sometimes necessary for success.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-establish-supportive-leadership"><strong>Establish Supportive Leadership</strong></h2> <p>Building relationships with employees and asking how you can be of service to them is crucial. If you want your employees to be more invested in your organization, try to be more empathetic and genuine in your interactions with them.</p> <p>Maintaining regular one-on-one communication with those you manage is critical in every leadership role. In times of stress or difficulty at work, employees often look for a more experienced colleague to guide them.</p> <p>Being supportive of your employees goes beyond just being available and caring about their welfare. It also involves motivating them to advance in their roles within the company.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-access-tools-and-resources-to-improve-employee-engagement"><strong>Access Tools and Resources to Improve Employee Engagement</strong><strong></strong></h2> <p>To increase <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesbusinesscouncil/2023/12/06/why-leaders-need-an-employee-engagement-strategy/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">employee engagement</a> in the workplace, you need tools for promoting well-being. A structured well-being plan can give you access to creating personalized activities that are tailored to each worker’s needs.</p> <p>Even if it’s only publishing talking points on your company’s intranet, educate other managers on how they may display crisis leadership via employee engagement and well-being. This ensures that they understand how to address well-being problems during one-on-one discussions.</p> <p>RELATED ARTICLE: <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2024/04/17/vertical-leadership-development-topics/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">VERTICAL LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT: TOP 5 TRAINING TOPICS</a></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-promote-two-way-communication-for-better-employee-engagement"><strong>Promote Two-Way Communication for Better Employee Engagement</strong><strong></strong></h2> <p>Companies that conduct business secretively and only provide information to employees on a “need-to-know” basis are extremely likely to have lower levels of employee engagement. </p> <p>Transparency, on the other hand, is a great tool for creating trust. This is because such an atmosphere allows employees to understand how the company’s decisions will affect them as well as how those decisions will alter the workplace. They will also have a better sense of how they should respond in such situations.</p> <p>Communication should be two-way, with employees encouraged to express their concerns. The last thing you want is for employees to feel overlooked or undervalued. Top executives widely believe that they should follow the open door principle and avoid utilizing “top-secret” information for personal gain.</p> <p>RELATED ARTICLE: <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2023/07/30/how-to-streamline-new-employee-onboarding/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HOW TO STREAMLINE NEW EMPLOYEE ONBOARDING</a></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-encourage-teamwork"><strong>Encourage Teamwork</strong><strong></strong></h2> <p>Are you worried about the level of collaboration among your team? If you see a personnel gap, you should have an open and honest conversation with your staff to get to the root of the problem.</p> <p>Encouraging employees to work as a team is a great way to increase employee engagement. Workers may collaborate on projects that you assign to them, or you may find ways to help them with the tasks for which they are accountable. When it comes to creating a great company culture, workplace cooperation is critical.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-measure-employee-engagement"><strong>Measure Employee Engagement</strong><strong></strong></h2> <p>Measuring employee engagement levels provides a clearer picture of what is working well and what might need improvement.</p> <p>Asking employees to complete a survey is one approach to assessing employee engagement. In such a survey, there should be no “right” or “wrong” way to answer each question.</p> <p>It is important to establish measurements from the outset. This will help managers to accurately quantify current levels of employee engagement. Using these measurements, the company will be able to identify its areas of strength as well as opportunities for development.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-final-thoughts"><strong>Final Thoughts</strong><strong></strong></h2> <p>Your company’s success is dependent on your employees, so don’t ignore the importance of employee engagement. It’s more than just a buzz word. So even though it may not be your top priority, investing effort and resources to ensure that employees are happy and fulfilled in their work is money well spent.</p> <p>Employees who are engaged are more productive. That’s why your company must handle this issue seriously and not ignore its numerous benefits.</p> <p><em>For more ideas to help you keep your business running at its best, be sure to <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">browse our blog</a> often.</em></p><p>The post <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2024/05/02/guide-boosting-employee-engagement/">Guide to Boosting Employee Engagement</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz">BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>How Does Digital Media Influence Our Lives?</title> <link>https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2024/05/02/how-does-digital-media-influence-lives/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Carrol Strain]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 02 May 2024 18:28:17 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Around the Web]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Business for Beginners]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Business Ideas]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Business Ideas in the News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Careers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Content Marketing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ecommerce]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Entrepreneurs]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ideas]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Inventions]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Lifestyle]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Marketing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Online Businesses]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Opportunity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Productivity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Running Your Business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Social Media]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Technology]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Video]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.business-opportunities.biz/?p=309363</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>We discuss here the powerful influence of digital media in our lives.</p><p>The post <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2024/05/02/how-does-digital-media-influence-lives/">How Does Digital Media Influence Our Lives?</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz">BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES</a>.</p>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h6 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-featured-image-by-gorodenkoff"><em>Featured image by <a href="https://www.shutterstock.com/g/gorodenkoff" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gorodenkoff</a></em></h6> <p>The internet is likely one of humanity’s greatest innovations. Digital media is now everywhere, accessible to everybody, and people use it on a wide range of devices.</p> <p>It is undeniable that digital media powerfully influences the world we live in, both positively and negatively. Let’s learn about both the beneficial and harmful effects of digital media in our lives.</p> <p>RELATED ARTICLE: <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2023/04/14/5-tips-improve-business-social-media-presence/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">5 TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR BUSINESS’S SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE</a></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-digital-media-101">Digital Media 101</h2> <p>Let’s start with the definition of digital media so we understand the concept well.</p> <p>Digital media is a means of expressing thoughts or opinions by using electronic devices. It is a rapid, efficient, and simple way of material distribution and communication.</p> <p>This covers data broadcast in the form of audio, video, text, and graphics. It is possible to transmit over the internet and other electronic channels as well, including television, radio, and so on.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-studying-the-effects-of-digital-media">Studying the Effects of Digital Media</h2> <p>Digital media is sometimes beneficial, but sometimes very harmful for users. It can be said that digital media has both positive and negative impacts.</p> <p>Let’s scrutinize the most outstanding effects of digital media on culture and society.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-positive-effects-of-digital-media">Positive Effects of Digital Media</h3> <p>There are lots of positive effects of digital media. Here are three common outcomes:</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-having-fun">Having Fun</h4> <p>What would we have done without social media platforms? Today’s most entertaining digital spaces are definitely social media platforms. There are lots of networks for artistic expression, allowing users to share amusing videos.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="547" src="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Picture2a-1024x547.png" alt="" class="wp-image-309370"/></figure> <p>For example, many people enjoy TikTok. You can find various videos which are fun and creative. You can take part in challenges and make friends and followers. In this context, you want to reach a wider audience so you search for ways to expand your fan base. This is also the case if you plan to use this platform to attract new customers to your small business.</p> <p>To reach and engage more followers, you can look for providers such as <a href="https://views4you.com/buy-tiktok-followers/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Views4You</a> that sell TikTok followers. Give them a chance and you’ll be glad you did.</p> <p>Other ways to interact on social media include following the latest dance trends on TikTok or creating memes on Instagram. Thanks to these platforms, we can relax, laugh, and build relationships around our interests.</p> <p>There is always time for enjoyment, even in the midst of life’s sometimes hectic pace.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-fresh-information">Fresh Information</h4> <p>Digital media is a really important source of real-time information. Mass communication and journalism abound on digital platforms. News agencies and broadcasting channels vie for your attention, as they want to gain as much coverage as possible.</p> <p>Therefore, you can use your phone or computer to catch up on all the live updates. You can also get the latest news about your country, town, favorite team, or people.</p> <p>To catch up with the latest developments on your favorite sports team, for example, you can choose to follow their official website or social media channels. In this way, you can get real-time scores and instant game analysis.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-communication">Communication</h4> <p>Thanks to the internet and digital media, anyone may share their expertise, opinions, and experiences with anyone anywhere in the world. Individuals can gather on one social media platform to communicate with each other. It doesn’t matter where you are if your interests are similar, you can engage with lots of different people. For example, you can establish a community with your <a href="https://agilityportal.io/blog/crack-the-tiktok-algorithm-strategies-for-your-business-to-stand-out-in-2023">TikTok followers</a> just by communicating with them.</p> <p>Plus, with social media networks such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok, you can find your voice to speak with influential figures and large organizations about the issues that affect yours and others’ lives.</p> <p>For instance, you could write a post about environmental issues on Twitter to attract attention to this topic. When you do, don’t forget to use hashtags and related keywords to enhance the visibility of your post.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-negative-aspects-of-digital-spaces">Negative Aspects of Digital Spaces</h3> <p>Unfortunately, social media has negative effects as well as good ones. Here are two of the more common negative consequences.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-misinformation-and-disinformation">Misinformation and Disinformation</h4> <p>The internet gives us access to an almost limitless quantity of information. It is estimated that the four major corporations—Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Facebook—dominate a minimum of 1,200 petabytes. This is equal to 1.2 million terabytes, a mind-blowing quantity of digital flow!</p> <p>However, if you’re discerning, you’ll notice that there is both beneficial and worthless information. Therefore, it’s important to use your best critical thinking skills with digital media. Double-check the information you find on the internet to ensure the truthfulness of what you’re seeing.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-addiction">Addiction</h4> <p>Unfortunately, addiction to digital media has become problematic for many.

They offer seamless support across multiple channels while adapting to hybrid work models. In this comprehensive exploration, we delve into the intricacies of contemporary contact center operations. For example, look at agent interactions with customers across various channels, the hybrid nature of centers blending onsite and remote work, and the pivotal role of workforce management in enhancing operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-multi-channel-customer-interactions-meeting-customers-where-they-are"><strong>1. Multi-Channel Customer Interactions: Meeting Customers Where They Are</strong></h2> <p>In today’s digital age, customers expect convenience and accessibility in their interactions with businesses. Contact centers have therefore evolved to meet these expectations. For example, they offer support across a diverse range of channels, including incoming customer calls, email, live chat, and social media.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-incoming-customer-calls">Incoming Customer Calls</h4> <p>Traditional phone support remains a cornerstone of contact center operations. This provides customers with a direct line of communication for resolving inquiries, troubleshooting issues, and seeking assistance. Agents also leverage advanced telephony systems and interactive voice response (IVR) technologies to streamline call routing, prioritize high-value interactions, and deliver personalized service.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-email-support">Email Support</h4> <p>Email also continues to be a popular channel for customer inquiries and support requests. This is because this channel offers a convenient and asynchronous communication method for addressing non-urgent issues, submitting queries, and seeking resolution to complex matters. Contact center agents utilize email management systems to triage incoming messages, prioritize responses, and maintain consistent communication with customers.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-live-chat">Live Chat</h4> <p>Additionally, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiveChat" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">live chat</a> has emerged as a preferred channel for real-time customer support. This is chiefly because this channel offers immediate assistance and personalized guidance through text-based conversations. For example, when center agents engage with customers in live chat sessions, they can provide immediate response to inquiries, troubleshoot product issues, and facilitate transactions in a seamless and efficient manner.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-social-media">Social Media</h4> <p>Social media platforms have also become integral channels for customer engagement. This is because they enable organizations to connect with customers, address concerns, and build brand loyalty. Contact center agents monitor social media channels, respond to customer comments and messages, and resolve issues in a timely and professional manner. In order to accomplish these goals, they leverage <a href="https://www.techtarget.com/searchcustomerexperience/definition/social-media-listening" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">social listening</a> tools to track brand mentions and sentiment.</p> <p>RELATED ARTICLE: <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2024/04/09/3-tips-reducing-miscommunication/">3 TIPS FOR REDUCING MISCOMMUNICATION</a></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2-the-hybrid-makeup-of-contact-center-blending-onsite-operations-with-remote-work"><strong>2. The Hybrid Makeup of Contact Center: Blending Onsite Operations with Remote Work</strong></h2> <p>The advent of remote work and hybrid work models has altered the landscape of contact center operations. This new model enables organizations to leverage the benefits of both onsite and remote staffing. Today’s contact centers therefore embrace a hybrid makeup. In effect, they blend onsite and remote agents to optimize workforce flexibility, enhance operational resilience, and accommodate evolving workforce preferences.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-onsite-contact-center-agents">Onsite Contact Center Agents</h4> <p>On-premises agents work from physical contact center facilities. They work closely with colleagues and access specialized resources and infrastructure to support customer interactions. Onsite work environments offer opportunities for in-person training, coaching, and collaboration. They also foster a sense of camaraderie and team spirit among agents.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-remote-contact-center-agents">Remote Contact Center Agents</h4> <p>Remote agents, on the other hand, work from the comfort of their homes or other off-site locations. They rely on cloud-based technologies and virtual collaboration tools to connect with customers and colleagues. Such remote work arrangements offer flexibility, autonomy, and work-life balance. They allow agents to customize their work environments and schedules to suit their individual needs.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-hybrid-work-models">Hybrid Work Models</h4> <p>Hybrid work models combine the best elements of onsite and remote work. These work models allow organizations to optimize workforce productivity, adaptability, and resilience. By strategically balancing onsite and remote staffing, contact centers can remain viable. They can also mitigate risks and capitalize on their workers’ diverse skill sets and perspectives.</p> <p>RELATED ARTICLE: <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2022/10/05/how-to-measure-marketing-effectiveness/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HOW TO MEASURE MARKETING EFFECTIVENESS</a></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-3-workforce-management-optimizing-contact-center-operations-for-efficiency-and-excellence"><strong>3.

In short, management must ensure optimal resource utilization and service delivery.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-forecasting-in-contact-center-operations">Forecasting in Contact Center Operations</h4> <p>Workforce management begins with accurate demand forecasting, leveraging historical data, market trends, and predictive analytics. With this data, management can anticipate customer volumes, staffing requirements, and service level targets across various channels.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-scheduling-contact-center-agents">Scheduling Contact Center Agents</h4> <p>Contact center managers create optimized staffing schedules based on demand forecasts, agent availability, skills, and preferences. They thus ensure adequate coverage and alignment with operational objectives.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-staffing">Staffing</h4> <p>Staffing decisions are guided by workforce requirements derived from forecasting and scheduling processes. This enables contact centers to maintain optimal staffing levels and skill mix to meet service level targets and customer expectations.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-performance-management">Performance Management</h4> <p>Workforce management extends beyond scheduling and staffing to encompass ongoing performance monitoring, coaching, and optimization. Contact center managers track key performance indicators (KPIs), provide feedback and support to agents, and implement continuous improvement initiatives. Thus they drive operational excellence.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-technology-integration"><strong>Technology Integration</strong></h4> <p>Advanced workforce management leverages technology platforms and software applications to streamline processes, automate tasks, and enhance decision-making capabilities. These include workforce management software, analytics tools, forecasting algorithms, scheduling algorithms, and integration with other contact center systems such as CRM and telephony.

Doing so also helps you plan your exit strategy if circumstances suggest it could be time to sell your business.</p> <p>RELATED ARTICLE: <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2020/07/20/predictive-maintenance-manufacturing/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">THE IMPORTANCE OF PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE IN MANUFACTURING</a></p> <p>The manufacturing industry is known as one of the pillars of economic development. This is largely because it creates jobs while improving consumers’ quality of life. Recent data states that the global manufacturing sector is responsible for <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/20-largest-manufacturing-companies-world-152854007.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">17 percent of the world’s GDP</a>. Moreover, industry watchers expect this industry to have significant growth within the next three years.</p> <p>As a result, many manufacturing businesses have started popping up, from small family-run operations to major international brands. Since competition can be fierce, business owners need to step up their game for the sake of their brand and employees.</p> <p>Here are three ways to find the current market value of your manufacturing business:</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-valuation-of-your-manufacturing-business-based-on-selling-prices-of-similar-businesses">1. Valuation of Your Manufacturing Business Based on Selling Prices of Similar Businesses</h2> <p>One of the most accurate ways to know the value of your manufacturing business is to have it appraised by a professional analyst, such as the world-renowned <a href="https://www.ibexbeyond.com/locations/austin-tx/sell-my-manufacturing-business/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">IBEX Middle Market Business Brokers</a>.

An inaccurate value could possibly pose a risk to the transaction. It can also deter potential buyers if the price is too high. On the other hand, an overly low valuation may result in your financial loss.</p> <p>To help ensure a successful transaction, professionals use a few methods to get a rough estimate of the venture’s value. One of them is knowing the selling price of businesses that are highly similar to yours.</p> <p>If there are manufacturing businesses within your area that recently sold, the business broker or analyst can gather information to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/theyec/2020/05/14/how-to-determine-what-your-business-is-worth-in-five-minutes-or-less/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">determine the market value</a> of your organization. However, keep in mind that the information might only be relevant if the other businesses and yours have a lot in common. Commonalities to find the best price might include the type of product you manufacture, revenue, and the number of years in operation, among others.</p> <p>RELATED ARTICLE: <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2021/06/04/selling-the-business-how-to-determine-best-price/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SELLING THE BUSINESS?

Discounted Cash Flow</h2> <p>Will there likely be a demand for your products 10 to 15 years from now? If potentially yes, your business broker or analyst may use the discounted cash flow approach to find the market value of your trade. Rather than comparing your business with similar companies, this approach is based on estimated future financials of your business, such as projected earnings and growth.</p> <p>If the calculated discounted cash flow (DCF) is higher than the current cost of your manufacturing business, then the transaction could result in positive returns. This is an advantage for the buyer. But if the DCF is lower than the cost, you should take another approach to determine the true value.</p> <p>Also, note that since DCF is based on future estimations and cash flows, the calculated figures may turn out to be inaccurate down the line. While this approach can certainly entice potential investors, it may be better to consider other valuation methods in addition to DCF.</p> <p>RELATED ARTICLE: <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2018/05/11/potential-investors-fresh-tips/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">POTENTIAL INVESTORS: FIND THEM FOR YOUR BUSINESS WITH THESE FRESH TIPS</a></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-3-valuation-based-on-your-business-s-assets"><a></a>3. Valuation Based on Your Business’s Assets</h2> <p>Asset-based valuation is perhaps one of the most straightforward ways to determine the current market value of your manufacturing business. This method uses the classic balance sheet approach: The liabilities are subtracted from the assets to calculate the company’s market value.</p> <p>To guarantee the best outcome, you can work with your business broker to determine which liabilities and assets to include in the valuation. Make your decisions based upon a check of the assets before the valuation process. This is because assets should be in fairly good condition and fit for modern manufacturing processes.</p> <p><strong>Some assets that may be included are:</strong></p> <ul><li>Machinery</li> <li>Furniture</li> <li>Equipment used to create products</li></ul> <p><strong>Intangibles that might also be included in the valuation could be:</strong></p> <ul><li>Technology used</li> <li>Trade secrets</li> <li>Patents</li> <li>Trademarks</li> <li>Formulas</li></ul> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-last-points-how-to-find-the-current-market-value-of-your-manufacturing-business"><a></a>Last Points: How To Find the Current Market Value of Your Manufacturing Business</h2> <p>Knowing your manufacturing business’s current market value can help guarantee that your company sticks around even after selling it to a new owner. Consult an experienced business broker or valuation analyst to explore all valuation methods to get the most accurate figure.

This introspective process is vital for personal development, serving as a springboard for all other areas of growth. It’s about setting the stage for a more empathetic, self-aware, and ultimately, more effective leadership approach.</p> <p>Self-awareness acts as a mirror.

This agility is essential for navigating complex issues and leading organizations through periods of change and uncertainty.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-topic-4-embracing-diversity-and-inclusion"><a></a>Topic 4: Embracing Diversity and Inclusion</h3> <p>Embracing diversity and inclusion is all about creating an environment where every voice is heard and valued. This principle of vertical leadership development strengthens teams, fuels innovation, and reflects your organization’s commitment to fairness and equity.</p> <p>Fostering an inclusive culture requires leaders to be aware of their biases and actively work to dismantle barriers that impede diversity.

By cultivating trust with your clients you’ll be able to build long-term relationships, increase customer loyalty, and enhance your reputation. At the same time, trust is infamously slow to build and often quick to lose. So it’s essential to focus on developing good business habits to build, maintain, and reinforce trust. Unfortunately, miscommunication can quickly render trust null and void.</p> <p>There are many ways to build and maintain trust, and effective communication is one of the most important. By the same token, miscommunication can be a poison to trust. Miscommunicate too often and you risk eroding that essential foundation. Here are three tips to keep in mind so you can reduce miscommunication and gain trust by keeping your business practices consistent.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-keep-details-crystal-clear-to-avoid-miscommunication"><a></a>1. Keep Details Crystal Clear to Avoid Miscommunication</h2> <p>Clarity is one of the keys to effective communication. The clearer you can be—the more you can keep important details in focus—the better. Being transparent with clients could be as simple as providing accurate information. For example, if a client orders a product from your website, notify them about when they can expect delivery. Provide simple, yet essential, information like this on thank you screens or in follow-up emails to set realistic expectations. And always make sure it’s accurate!</p> <p>Other, more complex kinds of information can be a bit trickier to convey. If you specialize in selling certain kinds of software, for instance, your clients will need to learn how to use it properly. If the client can’t understand how that software works in a reasonable period of time, they could become frustrated and ask for a refund. In turn, they may also lose trust in your company’s ability to understand its own product, potentially jeopardizing your reputation.</p> <p>If your business deals in more complicated products like this, think about how you could communicate product information to your clients more effectively. Offer tutorials or other demos to provide a more in-depth, “first-person” kind of understanding so they know exactly what they’re buying. Offer live demos via apps like Zoom or create detailed, step-by-step directions with a professional <a href="https://zight.com/screenshot-app/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">screenshot app</a>. The more able you’re able to effectively convey business expectations <em>and deliver on them</em>, the more you will avoid miscommunication and the more trustworthy you will be.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><div class="ast-oembed-container " style="height: 100%;"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Record, Screenshot, or GIF with the Zight Chrome Extension" width="1200" height="675" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FvVvwr4NpYg?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div></div></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2-be-aware-of-cultural-differences"><a></a>2. Be Aware of Cultural Differences</h2> <p>In today’s global marketplace, it’s not uncommon for your business to reach the interests of consumers and partners from other cultures. This is a wonderful thing. It’s incredible that <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/b2b-sales-multilingual-world-overcoming-language-barriers/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">people from different backgrounds</a> can share in each other’s interests, doing business across the world. However, it’s also a prime opportunity for miscommunication to rear its ugly head.</p> <p>Communication norms are some of the biggest cultural differences that may emerge in a business setting. People who primarily speak Japanese or Chinese, for example, may be misunderstood by those from western cultures. Because these languages are high-context, people speaking them often rely on subtle cues or linguistic hints to convey their meaning. People who speak low-context languages such as English or German can misinterpret these cues or miss them entirely. Conversely, people from Western cultures may come across as too direct, blunt, or rude to those from high-context cultures.</p> <p>As you can imagine, these cultural differences apply whether you’re speaking with a client or a business partner. To reduce the risk of miscommunication, research the basics of the cultural background you’ll be interacting with. Learn and ask about what common business practices they might expect based on their cultural norms. Likewise, share some of your own expectations for doing business, checking in to ensure all parties understand the terms. These sorts of deliberate meta-conversations will help mitigate the chances of miscommunicating.</p> <p>RELATED ARTICLE: <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2024/03/26/use-sentiment-analysis-improve-customer-experience/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">USE SENTIMENT ANALYSIS TO IMPROVE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE</a></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-3-be-aware-of-internal-miscommunication-time-zones">3. Be Aware of Internal Miscommunication (Time Zones)</h2> <p>The merging of different cultures and languages isn’t the only challenge of operating a business in the modern global marketplace. Remote work also presents myriad opportunities for misunderstanding, whether from asynchronous emails and Slack threads or wrongly scheduled meetings. Though remote work can offer a host of benefits to employers and employees alike, it’s not without its challenges. So if your company employs remote workers, it’s essential to nail your communication with them.</p> <p>Thankfully, reducing the frequency of miscommunications with your remote workers can be relatively straightforward. Maintain regular check-ins to ensure everyone is operating on the same page. Offer opportunities to clarify any confusing information, and take feedback about how communication channels could be improved.</p> <p>Additionally, make sure you keep everyone’s timetables in order. It’s easy to wrongly schedule a meeting when you’re dealing with employees in multiple time zones. Using <a href="https://zapier.com/blog/best-calendar-apps/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a good digital calendar</a> or project management software to keep everyone’s schedules aligned. You’ll increase productivity by ensuring no one misses an essential meeting due to a simple time-zone miscalculation again.</p> <p>RELATED ARTICLE: <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2024/02/06/how-online-reviews-can-boost-business-reputation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HOW ONLINE REVIEWS CAN BOOST YOUR BUSINESS REPUTATION</a></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-practice-the-fundamentals"><a></a>Practice the Fundamentals</h2> <p>At their core, all businesses are built on human relationships. Relationships, in turn, are built on trust, so it’s essential you work to ensure people trust you and your business. Miscommunication can permanently erode the foundation of trust your business is built upon, so focus on improving your organization’s communication skills. Running a business can be a rewarding and exciting undertaking, but don’t forget to attend to the fundamentals as you grow.</p> <p>RELATED ARTICLE: <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2023/12/20/reliable-telephone-service-vital-business-communication/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RELIABLE TELEPHONE SERVICE: VITAL TO BUSINESS COMMUNICATION</a></p><p>The post <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2024/04/09/3-tips-reducing-miscommunication/">3 Tips for Reducing Miscommunication</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz">BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>What Are the Benefits of Email API Integration?</title> <link>https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2024/04/09/what-are-benefits-email-api-integration/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Carrol Strain]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 09 Apr 2024 18:12:54 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Content Marketing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Entrepreneurs]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ideas]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Marketing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Online Businesses]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Opportunity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Productivity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Running Your Business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Social Media]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Technology]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.business-opportunities.biz/?p=309273</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Sending out bulk emails manually can be time-consuming, but email API integration can help.</p><p>The post <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2024/04/09/what-are-benefits-email-api-integration/">What Are the Benefits of Email API Integration?</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz">BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES</a>.</p>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h6 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-featured-image-by-gerd-altmann-via-pixabay"><em>Featured image by <a href="https://pixabay.com/users/geralt-9301/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gerd Altmann via Pixabay</a></em></h6> <p>Communication is one of the most important elements when it comes to business.

In fact, SEO trends show no signs of slowing down in importance even as we’re going into 2024.</p> <p>The concept of search engine optimization and its need stems from Google and other search engines using an array of algorithms to rank web pages on the World Wide Web. This concept involves an automated query response mechanism and automated bots called crawlers, which crawl the internet to give users the desired results for their queries. While these technicalities can be set aside, one cannot underestimate the <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesagencycouncil/2023/02/07/seo-what-it-is-and-why-its-important/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">importance of SEO</a> in today’s digital age.</p> <p>For this reason, staying ahead of the curve and building your digital presence by organically incorporating the latest SEO trends to boost your online footprint is pertinent. The fun thing about SEO is that it is constantly evolving, and there are no fixed rules of the game. This is because Google and other search engines change their algorithm from time to time in order to improve customer experience. </p> <p>Additionally, search engines update their criteria for ranking web pages on search engine result pages (SERPs). There are many trends, including using NLP and AI and having a better UI/UX experience, that can elevate a specific web page on the SERPs.</p> <p>These trends, at the end of the day, have an effect on websites that are trying to score higher on SERPs. This causes smart website owners to frequently change their strategies and adapt. A proactive approach is the need of the hour. This is especially the case if you want to tackle SEO and optimize your web content accordingly. Here are some SEO trends to note in 2024. Adapt to them in order to thrive in this ever-changing digital ecosystem.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-ai-and-natural-language-processing-nlp">1. AI and Natural Language Processing (NLP)</h3> <p>Artificial intelligence (AI) has taken the world by storm. Moreover, many of AI’s interlinked features, such as Natural Language Processing, make search engines what they are today. NLP is the process whereby machines and software learn and decipher what humans write and how they interpret words. Google’s algorithms are improving daily by utilizing the full force of AI and NLP to offer users better search results.</p> <p>Businesses can adapt to this SEO trend by optimizing their content, keeping specific keywords and the user intent behind certain queries in mind. As search engines become more powerful, content creators must also adapt to this evolution by prioritizing the creation of high-quality content that is relevant and effectively answers users’ queries. Content is still king. What’s more, business should apply this concept to digital marketing campaigns and leverage NLP for better content optimization.</p> <p>RELATED ARTICLE: <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2024/03/18/rise-ai-in-ecommerce-outsourcing/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">THE RISE OF AI IN ECOMMERCE OUTSOURCING</a></p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2-local-seo-and-personalization-trends">2. Local SEO and Personalization Trends</h3> <p>According to <a href="https://www.seobrand.com/philadelphia-seo/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SEOBrand</a>, a Philadelphia SEO firm, personalized search results and local intent represent a trend that plays a significant role. This is especially the case for businesses targeting local audiences. For example, a car wash service in Florida would rank higher if it addresses any user queries related to Florida. The car wash can improve its SERP ranking by optimizing the content based on local preferences and adding details about the business, such as its address, local phone number, and so on. Tailored content to address local needs and preferences always has its value when it comes to SEO.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><div class="ast-oembed-container " style="height: 100%;"><iframe loading="lazy" title="What Will Happen to Marketing in the Age of AI? | Jessica Apotheker | TED" width="1200" height="675" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3MwMII8n1qM?start=118&feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div></div></figure> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-3-voice-search-optimization">3.

With the rise of intelligent assistants and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_things" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">IoT devices</a>, voice search is an SEO trend has become an ever-present tool in our searches. Since the nuances of voice recognition are different from written words, creating content that mirrors how people speak naturally is the key to ranking higher on SERPs. For example, conversational queries need content that is structured to answer common questions. This is an SEO trend that will continue into the foreseeable future.</p> <p>RELATED ARTICLE: <a href="https://www.business-opportunities.biz/2024/03/11/importance-quality-assurance-business/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">THE IMPORTANCE OF QUALITY ASSURANCE FOR A BUSINESS</a></p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-4-seo-trends-of-mobile-first-indexing">4. SEO Trends of Mobile-First Indexing</h3> <p>Since smartphones have become so common, Google now emphasizes that its search engine results are also based on mobile versions of web pages. This SEO trend is due to the presence of queries that occur through these smartphones. Search engines use these queries to index and rank mobile pages.</p> <p>A seamless mobile experience is crucial for SEO success. For this, businesses must invest in websites optimized for mobile viewing. A responsive design, fast user interface, and intuitive navigation result in better ranking. Businesses must test their sites regularly on different mobile devices to check their compatibility.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-5-user-experience-ux-signals">5. User Experience (UX) Signals</h3> <p>Google’s search algorithms favor mobile-friendly websites in terms of speed, user interface, and page speeds. A better user experience tends to rank websites higher and thus leads to more traffic. Adapting to this SEO trend means investing in your website to increase its performance, mobile friendliness, and overall UX/UI design. The better such parameters and optimization are, the better the chances of higher search engine rankings.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-6-e-a-t-as-an-seo-trend"><strong>6. E-A-T as an SEO Trend</strong></h3> <p>Google algorithms follow the E-A-T principle (expertise, authoritativeness, trustworthiness), which focuses on trustworthy sources that are competent and trustworthy. To put it bluntly, authoritative sources demonstrating expertise in their business area will rank higher on SERPs. Businesses must therefore build a strong brand reputation based on customer friendliness, honesty, and trustworthiness. Expertise in your niche is crucial for this SEO trend. This is because search engines rank such web pages higher since they demonstrate much higher levels of expertise. You can achieve this by creating high-quality and well-researched content authored by experts in the field.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-7-video-and-visual-search-optimization">7. Video and Visual Search Optimization</h3> <p>While written queries continue to be the most common form of user queries, visual searches are also coming to the fore. Visual search and video content continue to gain importance in search results. What’s more, the volume of such queries has forced search engines to give them due importance. Creating video content for your business tagged with the relevant keywords to rank higher on SERPs has now become quite a critical SEO trend. The content must be optimized for search engines and include descriptive titles, tags, and metadata.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-staying-ahead-with-seo-trends">Staying Ahead with SEO Trends</h2> <p>Staying ahead in SEO requires constant monitoring of industry trends as they evolve. Businesses must adapt to these evolving trends to get to the top of <a href="https://www.theseomania.com/2022/12/12/how-seo-is-going-to-be-changed-in-2023/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SEO-ranked pages</a>.

Or do you have one that’s already running? As a property manager, part of your job is getting never-ending calls. Calls on leaky faucets, vandalized property, broken pipes, and disputes between neighbors can come early in the morning, late at night, or anytime during the day. While answering calls is not your top priority, avoiding them can turn away clients, resulting in business closure. So, what should you do to ensure all calls are answered and issues resolved? Partner with a property management call center. Are you curious about what a call center is and why your property management business needs a call center?

With this in mind, you can define a property management call center as a professional service that responds to tenant requests. Agents at property management call centers are available 24/7, meaning they respond to emergencies and process maintenance requests any time of the day. </p> <p>Now you have an idea of what a property management call center does. Let’s delve into the benefits they offer property managers.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-you-ll-have-more-time-for-enhanced-property-management-by-partnering-with-a-call-center">1.

However, you still need an effective communication system to ensure tenants can reach you quickly and have their issues resolved without interrupting you.</p> <p>A property management call center does that. It supports streamlined communication with tenants, property owners, and potential renters. By answering calls on your behalf and calling tenants to remind them of rent, call center agents reduce inconvenient interruptions. The outcome will be that you can invest more time focusing on the core aspects of your property management business.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2-it-will-give-you-the-chance-to-streamline-property-maintenance-operations"><a></a>2. It Will Give You the Chance to Streamline Property Maintenance Operations</h3> <p>One thing a call center does for your property management business is to serve as a single point of contact. How does this benefit you as a property manager? When all calls for maintenance requests are directed to one place, cases of miscommunication are reduced significantly. You’ll also maintain streamlined property maintenance operations, thus improving efficiency.</p> <p>For example, it’s common for tenants to make emergency calls saying a boiler is broken when it isn’t. An event like a storm causing floods will force tenants to make an overwhelming number of calls.</p> <p>Having a team of professional call center agents can help make sense of what’s an emergency and what’s not Typically, your receptionist or call handler will organize all logged calls into an easy-to-view priority list. That way, you can organize how to respond to each call. For instance, let’s say two tenants call complaining of a similar maintenance problem, like leaky faucets. This complaint will be visible on the call log. For a property manager like you, arranging for a maintenance contractor to fix both issues during the same visit becomes easy, hence reducing costs.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-3-a-call-center-will-give-you-after-hours-customer-support"><a></a>3.

Your call center will provide after-hours phone answering services, meaning they’ll receive calls and provide the help your tenants need 24/7.</p> <p><a href="https://www.staffvirtual.com/property-management/outsource-maintenance-repair-calls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">As reported by STAFFVIRTUAL</a>, having around-the-clock call center support ensures prompt attention to tenant inquiries and property management needs.
