Dear
Friends,
I am pleased to share with you our very first
newsletter. Like a doctor that finds it hard
to operate on himself, we too found it challenging
to create our own newsletter. Well here it
is. We have strived to make it informative,
useful, and interesting so that you eagerly
await the next issue.
emQube has completed 10 years of business
and fortunately our core team has remained
intact. We now operate from UAE as well as
India and have recently expanded to add the
Infotech division.
In our maiden issue we have put together some
interesting information, useful tips, and
entertaining news which we hope you enjoy.
Do give us your comments and feedback that
will help us improve the next issue.
Cheers !! |

| Keys
to Good Customer Service. |
| Listen
to your Customer |
| One
of the key requirements
to offer good customer service
is to listen to the customers
and not just hear them .
Identify customer needs
by asking questions and
concentrating on what the
customer is really saying.
|
|
|
|
| Identify
and anticipate needs |
| Customers
don't buy products or services.
They buy good feelings and
solutions to problems. Customers
appreciate when you proactively
come up with ideas and solutions
to their issues. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Power of Yes |
| Appreciate
the power of "Yes". Always
look for ways to help your
customers. When they have
a request, tell them that
you can do it. Look for
ways to make doing business
with you easy. |
|
|
|
|
Give more than expected |
What
can you give customers that
they cannot get elsewhere?
What can you do to follow-up
and thank people even when
they don't buy?
What can you give a customer
that is totally unexpected? |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Each
individual customer’s perception
of your company will determine
how well you follow these keys
and that perception will depend
on the level of customer service
you provide. |

| F#:
Putting the ‘Fun’ into ‘Functional |
 |
F#—pronounced
“F sharp”—is a functional
programming language for the .NET Framework
that combines the succinct, expressive,
and compositional style of functional
programming with the runtime, libraries,
interoperability, and object model of
.NET. |
|
F# enables users to write simple code
to solve complex problems. Programming
with F# really does make many programming
tasks simpler. Its succinct syntax and
powerful type inference lets users stay
closer to the domain they are working
in, and the integration into .NET and
Visual Studio gives rich access to the
expansive .NET platform. |
Functional programming offers important
new ways to think about problem solving.
The F# Interactive lets developers work
interactively with data and application-programming
interfaces [APIs] in a lightweight,
explorative environment. The language
enables the flexibility to translate
requirements into code easily.
Visual Studio 2010 includes the 2.0
version of F#. It includes important
new features of F#: |
•
A simple, succinct functional syntax.
• A rich .NET object-oriented
programming model.
• Integrated parallel and asynchronous
programming features.
• Units of measure.
• F# Interactive. |
| Unlike
a few Microsoft innovations, this one
hopefully has a better future. |
