Communication is the buzz word in today’s business scenario. Whether you are a small company with a limited resource and men power or a big enterprise with a huge turnover, everybody needs to communicate with their clients for better understanding and better business. Besides telephone and mailing there is another communication medium which is instant and preferred by almost all companies, that’s Live Chat. Offering live chat services on your website for enquiries and customer support is an inexpensive way to communicate with your clients. This has increased business and sales for many online businesses. But live chat services should not be taken lightly as this is the only medium which gives you the opportunity to talk to your clients. You need to be extra cautious while starting a live chat service in your site. Though my experience with this communication mode isn’t that pleasant but I can definitely tell you what your customers expect while using your live chat, after all, we all are also customers aren’t we?

Response Time

While chatting with your clients try to be fast and lucid. Nothing irritates a client more than the ‘on hold’ time. Don’t increase your on hold duration more than five minutes. If you won’t respond your client will search another service provider and you might loose a potential customer. Nobody wants to be ignored and if he/she is a client then they will certainly move away from your site. If you will put your clients in hold then they might feel ignored and after all who has the time to wait for your reply when there are numerous service providers are available in market. This is quite simple that an annoyed customer not only takes business from your but hinder others to give business. As the saying goes ‘bad words reach faster than light’, so you should not leave a single opportunity to serve your clients. Let’s say for example you are at the billing counter of a grocery shop and the operator is busy chatting with friends, how would you feel at that time?

What I have to say in this review about the bulk auction site Liquidation.com, can be summed up in one phrase, “Liquidation.com IS NOT CREDIBLE.�

The crimes perpetuated by Liquidation.com constitute a very grave infraction—fraudulence. Although the truth of that statement can be proven by the numerous posts, comments, and reviews available online that are testimonials to the abomination that is Liquidation.com, there is still an even better way of doing so. The good news is that one does not need to go too far and it only requires very little effort, since the proofs can already be seen right on the site itself!

The Terms and Conditions Page

I just want to know why Liquidity Services, Inc., the company behind Liquidation.com, even bothered putting up a page that contains their “Terms and Conditions�. Last I checked, documents such as this contain specific rules that bind the product or service provider and its client or customer to responsibilities and obligations which in turn give protection to both parties.

Apparently, most of the clauses in Liquidation.com’s “Terms and Conditions� are merely for show. The company seems to have no intention of following the rules that the company itself made.

For example,

5.1 … Failure of a Seller to complete the sale of assets to a qualified Buyer because of non-delivery or misrepresentation of the merchandise could result in damages payable to the Company up to a maximum amount of $20,000. In the event that a seller is not able to complete the transaction or ship the goods due to unforeseen circumstances, the Buyer cannot hold either the Seller or the Company liable for damages…
