Hosting Companies or ISP : Email is a bittersweet essential in the business of providing Internet service.
Email needs to be more than just a cost-center and a support headache
Hosting Companies or ISP can use great email as a strategic weapon to win new customers, keep current ones, and avoid being stuck in commodity pricing hell.
Your customers love email.
Email is critical. It is the most used internet-enabled service for virtually all of your customers. It is the linchpin of their professional and personal lives.
Your customers hate email.
Email is a massive hassle. It is filled with spam, dangerous phishing emails, malware and low-priority commercial communications (graymail). Plus, a rapidly growing number of highly sophisticated spear phishing attempts can cause massive financial and personal harm.
Email hassles cost YOU money, time and customers.
Dealing with email problems is a daily reality for ISPs and email resellers / hosts.
Email is a cost center impacting:
- Technical support staff
- System administrator time
- Legal liabilities
- Lowered customer satisfaction and renewal rates.
These costs are especially problematic in a sector that’s all too often seen as a commodity. It’s hard to raise pricing sufficiently to cover anything more than “standard” service.
Hard Costs of Email Threats and Nuisances
It costs money to give customers a good email user experience.
Obvious costs include:
- Software licenses
- Infrastructure and administrative time to oversee the anti-spam and anti-phishing systems
- Managing email threats in customer service and technical support budgets.
Opportunity Costs of Email Security
But the biggest costs, by far, of lackluster email are opportunity costs:
- Lost sales
- Customer churn
- Being forced into commodity pricing.
Spectacular email represents a massive opportunity: new sales, higher renewal rates, and differentiated pricing power.
What is an ISP or Email Reseller / Host To Do?
The answer lies in automated services that eliminate the hassles, pain, and support call requests in the first place.
- Happier customers do not need to be placated.
- Customers who were never exposed to an email threat do not require help recovering from it.
- Legal threats are not made from those suffering no damages.
Every email reseller / host or ISP needs either a complete suite of email protections or specific point solutions that layer over current email systems:
- Anti-Phishing/Spear Phishing
- Anti-Malware
- Anti-SpamGraymail Management
People want good email.
It’s the #1 business and personal communications tool. For instance, Gartner revealed that that 96% of email users want better protection against phishing attacks. If you can deliver, you can play to the overwhelming segment of the market that is demanding this kind of security enhancement.
