If you want to build a business that lasts, there may be no better place to look for inspiration than your own immune system.

Peer-to-Peer Finance

Looking for business growth investment? The ups and downs of peer-to-peer finance.

If you are struggling with funding the upgrades to solve the 2020 problem then consider peer finance. Don’t forget alternatives such as hardware-as-a-service, and traditional leasing (including LIS Managed Services in the lease as well as installation, support, maintenance).

Peer-to-peer lender Funding Circle beat its revenue targets for 2018 by 5%, but saw the percentage of loans last year it expected to default rise to between 3 and 3.8% it announced

 

Great Customer Service

Great customer service is about letting your client know they matter to you. And that starts with having a great team.

These are the key traits customers look for: Empathy; patience; clear communication; knowledge; and fast resolutions.

What else helps you give great service?  Well we think, good systems supporting the team so they know what is in play; and in our business (managed IT Support) we need to be mind readers with the ability to completely ignore what is being said in favour of what might be meant. We pride ourselves on giving great customer service!

If you need to upgrade your systems to improve your customers’ experience then contact LIS to help drive the change.
