For the typical customer, their day-to-day interaction with the insurance provider has the greatest impact on their overall impression of the company and its brand. Having a dedicated local agent handling their insurance needs can be a big advantage in creating a lasting relationship between insurer and policyholder. However, some insurance customers with simple needs place less importance on a local agent and several carriers have made big strides in refining their direct communication channels with customers. GEICO, for example, has done an excellent job of attracting new customers and delivering quality service, whether through their Web sites or call centers.

Go around the middleman; get your music straight to the people, ... You've got the Web now. Do it. Don't even hesitate. Because people want to hear real music, and there's a lot of talented kids out there, millions of them as far as I'm concerned, and they really have something to say.

If someone gets to the point where they need to send an e-mail to a customer service rep, the Web site has failed. We've realized that the 80-20 rule applies: Twenty percent of the information will answer 80 percent of the questions. That is what a Web-based customer-support system does well.

What donors need to do is go to the charity's Web site and see how they say they are going to use the money and if they have a question, call. Usually they'll be happy to establish a relationship with you so you know what the charity is using the money for and if it's being used the way you want them to. That way everyone will be happy, and charities want that because they want happy donors who will continue giving.

What matters is, at the end of the day, the Web services you create should be able to interoperate with each other. The importance is the end result more than the process of how you achieved it.

What we found from working with these products is that people aren't browsing the Internet on their phone just to go surfing. They are going in for specific information and then going out. They needed to get a stock price or a specific piece of information from the Web page.

Holiday 2000 will be the revenge of the brick and mortars. Battle lines on the Internet are being drawn between the offline brick and mortar stores and the Internet pure plays.

H&R Block's real strength is they have these branch offices everywhere and a lot of talented people who do taxes and that's a real strength and they need to focus on that.

There are so many fees associated with credit card processing that it is very difficult for any business owner or manager to understand how much it is costing and whether or not there is any waste. I created the web site to help people become better informed.

I think we're the industry leader in terms of how we sell on our own Web site. Clearly our preference is to sell them ourselves if we can.

I think it's very dangerous for people who do anything that's public to venture on the Web and check out what people are saying about them.

Our company was based on building momentum from the bottom up, and using the Web as we do drastically reduces the cost of sales and service.

Retailers need to understand who their customers are and how they act differently on the Web as opposed to in the store. They need to be able to recognize customers and the type of transactions they engage in, transactions that are based on which channel the customer is shopping in.
