The genesis of the company has been its free screen sharing software - we launched with it in November 2006 and suffice to say, it has been loved by millions. We wrapped up 2008 with some stunning growth for it and started this year with an exciting award for that software by LAPTOP Magazine.

At this time, I am excited to inform you that we are tracking at an astounding 100% growth for the number of sessions - the software's robustness has stood up strong against this traction and we want to continue growing that by incorporating feedback from all our millions of users.

So if you are interested in a premium version of the software, the CrossLoop Professional Edition that will enable individual entrepreneurs and small businesses to brand their service and more, you should sign up here now. [Hint: Early birds will benefit]

We are looking for a product marketing intern who is excited about EACH and EVERY user of the company's products and can help us build deep relationships with them.

So without further adieu, here is Debbie:

Good Morning and Good Luck!

And that is the fundamental thing we provide to all - a platform to enable people to fix computer problems but most importantly, an opportunity for customers to know the real 'Mrinal' helping them. Our expert Helpers mostly use their own picture, their real name and have an individual link to their profile that one can go back to. This enables the customers to make an informed decision to go back again and again to 'Mrinal' and refer him/her to their friends and family through word-of-mouth assuming the service provided is excellent.

When did you last go to a attorney or an accountant who used an alias while doing business with you? When did you last go to another lawyer or attorney, with another alias, at the same firm for follow-up questions or sign them up for another year?

So you can imagine my excitement when I found this eMarketer report today that states the top overall customer priority named was service excellence, followed by building a trusting relationship.

But as rightly pointed out, trust is not as an easy thing to build - it takes time and commitment personally and professionally. I have personally written about this on my personal blog way back but Its a bit like having a cat versus a dog - the former lives well with asynchronous food and water left behind whereas the dog needs you to take them out on walks, runs and some tlc.

 
So when you build that trust and customers love you... yes, love you .... they tell their friends and family - each one of us consequently becomes a media for transportation of that event - I call that 'You Media' (a pun intended on new media)

The study goes on to speak more to what purchases are effected by word-of-mouth but I can assure you that the best brands, and our expert Helpers on CrossLoop are one, are built through it.

So go ahead - Be 'connect-able'....

Good Afternoon and Good Luck!
