Editorial Submissions
SmartCustomerService.com regularly posts columns from the most respected customer service and support analysts, consultants, and vendors in the industry. Contributed columns appear in either our “Expert Advice” or “Vendor Views” section, which are prominently positioned on our home page.
If you would like to pitch a column about customer service strategies or technologies, please read the following guidelines:
- Do not send an unsolicited manuscript.
- Become familiar with the Web site and our style and content.
- Each entry should be original work that has not appeared elsewhere.
- The column should be a vendor-neutral, thought-leadership piece—not a sales pitch.
- Keep the word count to about 800 words long (we can run a series of columns, if you need more than 800 words).
- Include a suggested headline, a one-sentence summary, and an author’s bio.
