Delivering Online Consumer Satisfaction
A 38-year-old marketing consultant just bought a book and some music CDs at a popular online retail site. Taking less than 10 minutes to search for and buy exactly what he wanted, this guy had a great online shopping experience. Now, hes headed to your site to buy insurance.
This is good news, except that he probably expects a similar experience to the one he just had, and hasnt considered that comparing apples to mangos may not be fair. All he cares about is getting clear and concise information, and the opportunity to buy coverage in an expedient manner. He is todays typical online consumer–motivated, impatient and often unforgiving.

To enhance your ability to succeed online, consider these four important factors: responsiveness, expectation management, online-messaging, and effective selling.
