Additionally, you may want to consider, especially with ISP’s, what additional technical services do they provide and what sort of support is offered? The Internet today will help your businesses to do more than ever before and has the potential to help you create a positive return-on-investment.

This may not be very apparent, but look at it from another point of view. The salesperson involved with a support call might get an email from a customer requesting items to purchase. Did this just create a sale for your company, and in turn create profit? The Internet is definitely one of the most important services that your company will invest in, without it, sales are lost and communication breaks down.

Tips for selecting an ISP
When selecting an ISP, find out how support requests are handled and if they have an overall good reputation. Find out if you are placed into a call queue just to give your information before being transferred to a “higher level” of support? Were you put on hold just to be transferred to another department? Did it take until the next morning to finally get an answer from a technician? If you find this hard to believe then think again, that exact scenario actually happened to a CB Software client (before they became a client) on more than one occasion.

Cost should never be the only deciding factor in choosing an ISP. The service history of the company should always be taken into consideration. Is this company able to give 24-hour support? Could they have a technician on site within 4 hours? What equipment do they use? These are only a few of the questions that you should ask when gathering information. An Internet connection is so vital to your company that you should make it a priority and get a good, reliable ISP that you can count on.
