3. Customer Care • Customer care is meant to ensure a customer’s satisfaction with a business’ goods and services before, during and after purchase. This is even more crucial in the competitive field of web hosting where most rival companies provide identical plans with very similar prices and it is through customer care that one web host can have competitive advantage over the other. Hence, it becomes very important for every web hosting company to pay attention to developing as well as improving the customer care skills of its customer care professionals. Any web hosting company in India or abroad as well as any cloud hosting company that wants to be a market leader, focuses on ensuring proper and consistent customer care service. The same can be said for any Windows hosting company in India that is aiming at having a competitive advantage. • The ways to improve customer care skills have been touched upon in the following slides.

4. Thorough Knowledge of the Plans and the Services YELLOW • If a customer service agent wants to provide excellent customer service, then he needs to have a thorough knowledge of the web hosting plans and their details along with information about every aspect of web hosting as the customers’ queries can be very diverse. During onboarding, care should be taken to train the customer service agents so well that they are well versed in everything that has to do with web hosting. This will prepare them to answer every query and ensure customer satisfaction. Along with this the willingness of the agent to continuously learn and improve himself is a trait that is very desirable and helpful.

5. Clear Communication as well as Excellent Command of Language • The ability to communicate clearly, empathetically and concisely is a very important trait for any customer care executive to connect with the customer. In order to be able to be understood by the customer and understand the customer, the customer service agent needs to have a very good command of language else there can be more misunderstanding rather than quick resolution of the problem. This will be counter-productive to the aim of ensuring high quality of customer service for web hosting.

6. Use of Positive Language Word-of-mouth publicity is another benefit that comes along with satisfied customers. When a customer is happy with a web host’s overall service and especially with its customer care, then there is more likelihood of him referring his web host to others who are looking for web hosting services. He will also give positive reviews on online forums. This too helps the web host to gain more customers through this word-of-mouth publicity and eventually increase its customer base as well as revenue earned.

7. Exhibit Empathy The ability to grasp how the customer is feeling, always gives an added advantage to the customer care agent in steering his interaction accordingly to ensure maximum customer satisfaction. It is a skill that can be acquired as well as honed. The will help the customer respond better if he feels he is being understood not only verbally but also emotionally. The end-goal is to ensure customer satisfaction and by interacting with the customer empathetically this can be achieved easily.

8. Active Listening Last but not the least, the skill of active listening cannot be overemphasized. It requires the customer care agent to fully concentrate, understand, respond accordingly and then remember what had been being said to summarize it in the end to ensure that everyone is on the same page. It requires the customer service expert to direct all his focus on what the speaker is trying to convey. Active listening can improve the communication skills of anyone by leaps and bounds and this needs to be put into practice when any customer care agent interacts with the clients of a web hosting company to address their issues.
