Today's Story Highlights

Google Cracks Down on Tech-Support Scams
Google has announced news steps to combat the placement of fraudulent
tech support ads on its platform. The company will roll out a
verification program in the next few months to ensure that only
legitimate third-party tech support providers can place Google ads.
There are many legitimate providers that offer local or regional
services, or affordable support for out-of-warranty products.

6 Winning Shipping Strategies for E-Commerce SMBs
E-commerce continues to become more competitive as large companies like
Amazon, Target and Walmart soak up market share and customer attention.
Shipping window expectations have become shorter, and many online
retailers struggle to keep up, particularly SMBs. How can SMBs compete?
Not only is competing possible, there are many SMBs that have been
finding exceptional success.

A Model-Based Structure May Be Ideal in a Data-Driven World
Data science has become mission-critical to many enterprises. Companies
in the U.S. will spend billions on third-party audience data in 2018 and
even more on third-party solutions to use that data, as they move toward
becoming model-driven. It's not just a matter of harvesting data and
then crunching it; companies have to map data against their business
model in order to get the most out of it.

When Unlimited Wireless Data Is Not Really Unlimited
Verizon Wireless made a big mistake last week. Like it does with all
users who go above their wireless data thresholds, it slowed the
wireless data connection to firefighters battling blazes on the West
Coast. Errors such as this are becoming a growing problem as we depend
more on smartphones and wireless service. I was caught in an awkward
position with wireless service myself last week.

Is Weak Data Integrity Killing Your CRM?
American companies spend an enormous amount of money on training.
Spending reached more than $90 billion in 2017, an increase of over 32
percent from 2016. It's unlikely that even a small share of the billions
spent on training last year were devoted to educating and motivating
employees to regularly and accurately input data into a company's CRM.
Maybe it should have been.
