Welcome to ModernBiz

One of the top challenges small and midsize businesses face is attracting customers, especially high-value customers willing to spend more on their products and services. But simply getting new customers isn’t enough; small and midsize businesses must also fight to retain them. Customer attrition rates can be high, and for small and midsize businesses in particular, every customer counts.

Businesses not only need to understand customers better than their competitors do, they also want to capture and keep their attention—and that’s easier said than done.

To build lasting relationships, small and midsize businesses need to stay on top of social and technology trends. This means making the most of data assets, and connecting with customers through a variety of channels, including email, websites, mobile devices, and social media.

This is where you step in, by helping businesses increase profitability through better insight and more engaging communications. Help small and midsize businesses get started by talking to them about:

• Understanding customers by pulling together data from point-of-sale systems, sales tracking software, and social media posts with tools like Microsoft Dynamics Online and Power Platform
• Creating professional sales material with Microsoft Office 365
• Reaching out to customers and coworkers in real time with tools like Skype for Business
• Interacting with customers in more engaging, personalized ways using the Azure cloud platform and mobile technologies
