Operating without CEO

6月

17日

While this week, Mayumi Nakamura, CEO of PSPINC is at University of Washington for some type of Management Training Course. That means, PSPINC is operating without her for last 4 days now.

It is not good as a company to loose CEO, but it is good for the company to be able to operate without her. Mayumi does so much at PSPINC, people need to realize that they need to make their own decision and be responsible for it.

She will be back next week.

Here is how SPAM works.

The average SPAM gets 0.015% response. Yes, people respond to SPAM email too. So, if you send out 100,000 emails, You will receive 15 responses. For that 15 leads, you have spent almost no money, it is a good ROI, don't you think. This is the reason why you continue to see SPAM email.

PSPINC's strongest competitors!!!

Whom does PSPINC compete with and loose?

Yes, we loose to particular competitors for our web and email hosting services. No, it is not to other Internet Hosting Service companies. We actually win most of the time if we are compared to others, but we loose to two types of competitors.

First, we loose to family members. “My son does all our IT related things.” In every respect PSPINC is better than a sone of the owner, but we don’t even usually get to present our services.

Secondly, we loose to IT mangers of the larger companies. Many times IT managers think we will be eliminating their jobs when they move the server to PSPINC. They will come up with every small detail to discredit our services.

We have not come up with the strong enough argument to complete with those competitors. But, soon we believe the money and headache they suffer will move their services outside. We will be waiting for you.

I purchased a computer at Office Depot ... Did you know Office Depot has a contract with Microsoft to ask about Office purchase to their customers. It is like "Do you want a tries with that?" at McDonald's.

"Do you want an Office with it?"
"No thanks."

It is annoying.

Plan to expand in the USA.

5月

PSPINC is growing about 10% every year since this recession. Yes, we are growing despite the economy. We are growing in Japan. We are growing in the US. But I think there is an opportunity to grow even more in the US for our hosting services.

There are other web & email hosting services out there but nobody offers the level of stability and services that we provide to the small to medium size corporation. What we are no too good at is the marketing ... My mission is to change that.
