			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>offer full service SEO (search engine optimization) to those who are willing to dedicate the time and resources to reach results on the internet. It has been my passion for many years and I enjoy doing it for those who are willing to do what it takes.</p>
<p>Please contact me, and I will review your case. At the very least, I will give you my opinion on your current situation, my strategy, and a report on your website.</p>
<p>Cheers,<br />
Mike</p>
<p>Are you looking to increase your exposure on the world wide web?</p>
<p>The goals of the projects are,</p>
<p>-	First page Google ranking for trophy keywords that will be identified in the keyword analysis.</p>
<p>-	Optimize the entire site for optimal result in the major search engines.</p>
<p>-	Develop and optimize additional online brand channels.</p>
<p>-	Evaluate, optimize and develop client website.</p>
<p>-	Develop and optimize a web blog.</p>
<p>-	Develop and optimize landing pages.</p>
<p>-	Develop and optimize satellite pages.</p>
<p>-	Develop and implement an effective link building strategy</p>
<p>-	Evaluate conversion of site and “call to actions” on page to reduce bounce rate.</p>
<p>-	Produce an ROI from SEO dollars as organic site rankings increase.</p>
<p>-	Brand credibility created by first page Google listing for trophy key words.</p>
<p>-	Reduce/eliminate the need for PPC.</p>
<p>-	Optimize and/or develop the clients SEM PPC campaign</p>
<p>-	Reduce cost per lead and cost per customer.</p>
<p>-	Implement proper site analytics and website optimizer</p>
<p>The project will consist of 6 sub projects, Initial Setup &#038; Planning, Evaluate and develop websites, Link Marketing, Search Engine Marketing and PPC, Social Media Campaigns, Ongoing</p>
<p><b>Client Services</b> SEO Consulting has been a popular service Shadstone has been offering for years, assisting with the strategy and training of businesses to grow their traffic and convert their users to gain the best ROI on their business website.  We can assist with training, reporting (Rank, Enquiries, Analytics), research, and Project Plan and Methodology.</p>
<p>Not only will SEO outperform every other form of advertising right out of the gate. But the second year it will cost your company almost nothing while the traffic continues to grow. Yes, you have to maintain your first place status but it is a faction of what it cost to get there.</p>
<p>SEO is not getting any easier. As your competitors realize the value it becomes harder and harder to beat them to the punch. SEO must be done over time. You can’t write a thousand articles and place a thousand backlinks in one day. If your site has 25 backlinks and the number one site has 30,000 you are years behind no matter you do. My point is not to discourage you but to encourage you to get started.</p>
<p>We both know the only way people find things is they search it. You have 2 choices; you can pay-per-click or create organic ranking and traffic. Pay-per-click stops when you stop paying, it is one dimensional and does very little to promote your brand. SEO you buy one time and it grows forever. Strengthens your brand and is far further reaching than just search engines.</p>
<p><a href="/contact">Contact Shadstone</a> for one of its most well known services, SEO, for many years. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Shadstone has spent time in Manila and the Philippines and has many ways to help assure your customer service outsourcing experience is a positive one.  Below is an outline of some call center services in the Philippines</p>
<p>A lot of companies nowadays hire and contract business process outsourcing (BPO) companies to manage their customer service. In many cases, they hire a call center with hundreds or even thousands of employees who are prepared to take on the customer service tasks.<br />
Customer service can cover areas of customer care, customer acquisition, customer retention, contact management, customer relationship management (CRM) and client relations.</p>
<p>It is vital for you to maintain good and strong relationships with your customers or else your competitors will win them over. This is the importance of customer retention in customer service. Our highly-trained personnel can efficiency handle all aspects of customer service. We make sure that you know the conditions and feedbacks of the customers. We do this by contacting your customers, talk to them, ask them for feedbacks and surveys in order for us to serve them better. This will make them feel that you truly care and you will determine what areas you need to improve. This is just few of the many ways BPO can develop customer relations through customer relationship management.</p>
<p>Aside from outbound calls, BPO also provides a hotline number where your customers can call whenever they have concerns with your products, services and your company. This enables fast resolution to problems which are passed onto your company for prompt and accurate resolution to your customers’ concerns.</p>
<p>BPO also offers outsourcing customer service focused on customer acquisition. This department will only focus on acquiring new customers for your company. Some of our clients are working on both customer service and customer acquisitions, the output are then handed over to our sales department for them to sell.</p>
<p>Customer service and customer acquisition are handled in separate departments because a customer service representative has a different personality with a sales representative. As professionals in this industry, we know very well that a sales person must be good in talking and outspoken while a customer service representative has to have a patience and is more low key.</p>
<p>Contact us to learn more about our outsourcing your customer service needs which will greatly benefit your company and help you to retain your customers and keep them happy for many years to come.</p>
<p>The services we offer:</p>
<p>·         Onshore and Offshore Business Process Outsourcing 24/7/365</p>
<p>·         IT Help Desk Services</p>
<p>·         Inbound and Outbound client services and customer support</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The key to the success of your China expansion is finding the right team.  Being in international ecommerce, we at Shadstone meet tons of people who either have job requests, or are looking for job placement.  On a case-by-case scenario, we can help you recruit staff inside China.</p>
<p>Below are some examples of where we have assisted in locating staff and/or freelancers:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Hi Mike,</p>
<p>We will be producing and importing 3-4 models of electric bicycles, so we&#8217;re looking for a photographer:</p>
<p>- 4-5 shots of the complete bike in the studio<br />
- 4 close ups of various components<br />
- 360 degree product view (will need a studio for that)<br />
- 2 shots of the complete bike somewhere on location</p>
<p>For the product section, we&#8217;d have shots of the bikes from different angles, some close ups of the components. </p>
<p>Then, for the rest of the site, we&#8217;d love to have a few shots of the bikes set in different environments (if the budget allows).<br />
After this is done, I am certain that we will have additional work over time. But for now, it&#8217;s just this.</p>
<p>Also, we can do it in Guangzhou or Shenzhen or anywhere in between.</p>
<p>Thanks,<br />
Boris
</p></blockquote>
<p>And then there is the common one of foreigners looking for Chinese website translators, designers, programmers, and other web based services.  </p>
<blockquote><p>
Hi Michael,</p>
<p>I&#8217;m looking for a Chinese native that can understand English and also knows the ins and outs of SEO well for an SEO website translation gig.</p>
<p>Do you think you can link me up with someone?</p>
<p>Thanks,<br />
Anton</p>
<hr width=80%>
<p>I&#8217;m looking for a Chinese guy that knows about SEO, need a translator can trust with knowledge of marketing/ SEO words</p>
<p> I&#8217;d make a website in English selling SEO services, and I&#8217;d need someone real smart with SEO /market knowledge to translate it into Chinese</p>
</blockquote>
<p>These are just a few examples of the cases we deal with.  </p>

<h2>Representative Management Program</h2>

<p>Are ALL of your sales representatives delivering a consistent and satisfactory sales performance on your line?</p>
<li> Do you know how to measure each rep&#8217;s sales performance?  Important growth potential can be lost if you do not know which agencies are making their expected sales contribution on your line.
<li> Do you know what and how to communicate with your sales force in order to keep them enthusiastically selling your line?
