Superior customer service starts with great communication. When both parties give each other the opportunity to understand and evaluate needs, a successful outcome for all parties is readily achieved. A significant part of that communication must involve understanding the credentials of the company that is going to provide your service.

When a prospective customer requests business credentials, it usually indicates an educated customer who will contribute to exemplary results. Credentials can differentiate a great customer service experience from a mediocre or unpleasant one. Superior customer experience is the responsibility of both parties.

In document shredding and hard drive destruction, it is important to consider the process by which your confidential information will be destroyed and to know that the company you have chosen has the equipment, resources and certification to provide secure and professional service. It is important to move beyond the lowest price and seek quality service based upon credentials.

SelectShred is a NAID AAA Certified on-site mobile document shredding and hard drive destruction company. Its compliance with NAID standards ensures that your business will be compliant with federal regulations such as FACTA, GLBA, and HIPAA. All SelectShred personnel handling confidential information have undergone initial and random drug/substance abuse monitoring, initial and periodic criminal record searches, driving record reviews, employee training and access control as required by NAID AAA Certification.

“You come highly recommended.” These are four words that can make your satisfaction about your company’s performance soar even higher. Your objective is always to do a great job by providing excellent customer service. The reward is not only in the exceptional service provided to the original customer but when that customer is so impressed and happy that they are providing you with a referral. Even with social media and so many ways that seemingly exist to grow your business, nothing is more powerful than word of mouth.

The shredding industry is like many other industries, it survives on the goodwill that is built from the first in-person conversation, phone call, or email request. Quality customer service continues beyond the driver’s arrival and completion of the job. Many times, we’ve received calls after providing service with statements like “You have a good company. It was a professional experience.” Even a clean shred truck speaks for itself — from the many favorable comments — customers do appreciate a truck’s good appearance.

Whether you are looking for security, convenience, efficiency or reliability, based upon customer feedback, SelectShred is considered the #1 shredding company for superior customer service experience on the Treasure Coast and beyond. Excellent customer service starts with using a NAID AAA Certified company that believes in protecting people and preserving the environment.

SELECTSHRED | FREE SHRED EVENT–PREVENT IDENTITY THEFT DAY WITH THE STUART POLICE DEPARTMENT

FIGHT IDENTITY THEFT WITH A FREE SHRED EVENT HOSTED BY THE STUART POLICE DEPARTMENT, ALONG WITH SELECTSHRED, ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 2015 AT THE STUART POLICE DEPARTMENT, 830 S.E. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. BOULEVARD, FROM 10:00 AM TO 12:00 PM

“When are you doing this again?” This was the question of the day last year during the Free Shred Event–Prevent Identity Theft Day. As they say, back by popular demand, residents can come again to the Stuart Police Department on Saturday, August 1, 2015 to have their confidential documents shredded on-site. Last year over 113 vehicles with happy and appreciative residents arrived at the Stuart Police Department. This year, the Martin County Hazmobile will also be there for the disposal of common household hazardous materials.

The Stuart Police Department continues to show their commitment by promoting shred events, increasing public awareness of identity theft, and encouraging shredding of personal documents. Residents see their documents placed into bins and hoisted into the shred truck. They can watch the shredding through the video monitor on the shred truck. Residents leave with peace of mind because they know that their sensitive information is securely destroyed.

Florida has the nation’s highest rate of identity theft but there are many ways to prevent identity theft. Getting free credit reports, monitoring your credit cards, and checking bank account activity are just a few. Shredding is another way to ensure that your confidential information is destroyed to prevent it from getting into the wrong hands.

The following documents should be shredded when they are no longer needed: credit/debit card receipts, old tax records, insurance records, bank statements, cancelled checks, health records, financial documents, legal documents, credit card offer letters, billing information in the center pages of magazines, and all other documents with your social security number and driver’s license number.

Beyond the free shred event, individuals and businesses must do everything possible to prevent identity theft. If you have accumulated too much to shred yourself, use a secure, convenient, and economical NAID AAA Certified company to destroy it. It is important to use a secure on-site shredding service. Even with this shred event, your documents are not carted away to be sorted and shredded at another location. All shredded materials are recycled into new paper products and kept out of landfills.

A COMMUNITY SHRED EVENT – COMMITMENT AND CARING FOR CUSTOMERS

When Lisa of Paradise Tire and Service requested our help in providing a shred event for her customers, we were pleased to provide this service. Knowing that Lisa and her family are very involved in service to customers and the community, it was definitely an opportunity to help them give back to their loyal customers. This was an event of shredding, automobile servicing, cementing current relationships, and forging new relationships. As customers arrived, some reported “I’ve been waiting for this for a long time.”

Customers were allowed to witness the document destruction through the truck’s video monitor. Here is what one person said after witnessing the on-site document destruction: “This is so interesting. Thanks for letting me watch. This is like a TV Show.”  They were aware that their documents were destroyed immediately in their presence and could not be put back together. They were informed that all shredded materials would be taken to a recycling facility and would not end up in landfills. The peace of mind from knowing that their sensitive information was securely destroyed is priceless.

The heightened awareness of identity theft and tax fraud is never far from anyone’s mind. Someone reported “I’m so happy to get rid of these tax documents. They go back to the year 2000.” Tax-related identity theft is an ongoing concern that increases with each passing year.  Follow the link to read more: http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0008-tax-related-identity-theft.

It was certainly like Shredding in Paradise in the 89° F temperature. We were shaded under a red tent provided by Lisa. Appreciative customers arrived on the lot to have their oil change and other auto service done. They also got some secure on-site document shredding done on a sunny Saturday morning in Stuart. We appreciated the opportunity to provide this shred event for Paradise Tire and Service.

A COMMUNITY SHRED EVENT – COMMITMENT AND CARING

Kings Isle community in Port St. Lucie requested a shred event for its residents. We believe that nothing says caring such as providing an opportunity for residents to protect themselves from identity theft and fraud. They drove, walked and biked over to the shred truck to have their confidential documents shredded on-site.

Approximately 3 tons of paper were shredded at their location. All shredded material was taken away to be recycled into new paper products. No documents can be put back together and no paper will end up in landfills. Everyone left with the peace of mind that their sensitive information was securely destroyed. Residents who wanted to witness the destruction of their documents were able to do so through the truck’s video monitor.

Having access to a local shredding company to perform on-site shredding service on a weekend to accommodate residents is a great community resource to have at your disposal. Someone reported “I have sensitive military stuff that I have to see shredded.” Another person reported “I’ve got bills here since my husband died 8 years ago. Thanks for offering this. Otherwise, it would burn out my shredder.”

We appreciated the opportunity to provide this community shred event for Kings Isle and the mutual admiration from both sides was heartwarming as both parties showed their appreciation for a well-organized, safe and secure event.  It was also a fun event – coffee, muffins and other goodies were available for all.

SELECTSHRED | THE UNFOUNDED OBJECTIONS TO USING A THIRD PARTY SHREDDING SERVICE CONTINUES

We continue to hear “we are paperless”; “we use office shredders”; “we don’t shred much”; “we are a small office”; or “we can’t afford a shredding service.”

In all of those statements, there might be a tinge of truth but every business has the capacity to use a recurring shredding service. What is more likely is the fear of commitment to the possibility of entering a scary contract from which you cannot extricate your business or the fear that you will never be able to fill those containers. Have your shredding service representative thoroughly evaluate your needs. There is no one size fits all. There is no one price fits all. There is no one term fits all. All that is necessary is a thorough understanding of your needs and the willingness of both parties to make it work.

Sporadic shredding can sometimes seem suspicious—it is certainly fodder for many comedies and jokes. A recurring shredding service sends the message that you have a responsible organization that knows how to mitigate risk by acting responsibly to avoid security breaches, identity theft, and trade secret theft.

Are you really paperless? If you are regularly scanning your confidential documents, those documents should be secured and shredded as soon as possible by a NAID AAA Certified shredding company.

Will the office shredder suffice? The office shredder can never afford you the required legal documentation to show that you have a proper document security program in place and provide legal protection in case of an alleged or actual information security breach. What works is the regular use of an accredited shredding service and receiving a certificate of destruction.

What does “we don’t shred much” really mean? Take stock of how much confidential documents you are putting aside until you get around to calling a shredding company. If you are not required to keep that information, you need to secure it and destroy it in a timely manner.

Is your office really too small? No office is too small to have a shredding service because no office is too small to have an information security breach or to be fined for not complying with federal, state, and local regulations.

Can you really not afford a shredding service? A shredding service is less costly than using staff time to shred. More importantly, what you really can’t afford are fines, liability, lost productivity, and lost reputation.

Use a NAID AAA Certified on-site shredding company to destroy your confidential information.  Federal regulations (FACTA/HIPAA/GLBA) require businesses to safeguard, destroy, and discard responsibly all confidential information. Your NAID AAA Certified Company is your partner in helping you safeguard your confidential documents by having a system in place that can identify red flags, deter identity theft, mitigate proprietary information theft, protect your company from unnecessary legal action and avoid fines.

DOCUMENT SHREDDING GUIDELINES—SHOULD WE LET IT GO OR KEEP IT?

Whether you are an individual or operate a business, shredding guidelines will always apply. The tendency is to keep everything but that is impossible as a homeowner or business owner. Keeping documents longer than you need to will create opportunities for security breaches, identity theft, and exposure to liability.

There are general guidelines pertaining to records retention with regard to federal laws, state laws, local government laws, professions, and industries for shredding of personal and business documents. The following are some examples of records retention for personal and business documents:

One Year

Credit Card Statements. Customers and Vendors Correspondence.

Three Years

Bank Statements. Utility Records. Sales Invoices.

Four Years

Employment Tax Records. Payroll Tax Returns.

Six Years

Accident Reports and Claims. Canceled Checks.

Indefinitely

Filed Income Tax Returns. Worksheets and Supporting Tax Documents

These are just a few examples of multiple personal and business documents and generalized recommendations for the length of time that they should be kept. There are many guidelines for how long records should be kept because there will always be special circumstances.

It is advisable to check with your accountant and attorney before making the final decision to destroy your documents.
