Over recent years rapid advances in technology have transformed the way we do business. Our everyday business tools would have been regarded as flights of fancy not so long ago.
With the unstoppable rise of e-commerce come challenges. Perhaps the biggest danger is the lack of personal contact between a company and its customers. Obviously this is not an issue for an online retailers selling products over the net and being paid via a Debit Card or Pay Pal etc.
However, there is an increasing tendency for B2B sales to be concluded by email or even SMS. The personal element has been lost and so has the identity and customer relationship. The surest way to avoid problems is by knowing your customer and understanding their business. This relationship and mutual understanding is not possible to maintain thru a key pad and email ordering system.
