Aplus.Net’s Recent Push For Customer Feedback

Aplus.Net is currently making an aggressive effort to gather and implement customer feedback:

1) We have streamlined our in-house process for collecting and analyzing customer suggestions. All feedback, whether presented to a support or sales rep, escalation manager, or billing clerk, is now being transferred to the appropriate department more efficiently than ever before!

2) We are focusing on using the ranking system in our Knowledge Base library for gauging which documents are useful and which documents should be rewritten. We want to make sure that you have access to the most helpful information at all times.

3) We have introduced online ranking for all Control Panel tools. We urge you to use it as much as possible. We are constantly monitoring the results and are committed to improving the tools with poor rankings.

4) We have launched online ranking for our Sales and Support staff!

-  Online chat ranking - Your input regarding which sales and support reps are the most helpful will allow us to train our staff accordingly, thereby making our services even higher in quality!

-  Email support ranking - Your feedback, which is tied to the rep with whom you correspond, will enable us to build on our strengths and work on our weaknesses. We want to serve you better!

     COMING SOON:

-  Phone support ranking - You will soon be able to use your phone keypads to report your level of satisfaction after your support call. We are looking forward to catering our phone support services to your needs!

We are very excited about our new feedback tools and processes, and hope they will enable us to serve you better! Feel free to send your input to .

With this new service, customers can access their email accounts via wireless device.

Don’t Let Your Traffic Get Away!

Aplus.Net has FREE tools to keep your visitors coming back. One such tool is the Custom Error Pages tool, which enables you to customize your error pages. For example, if a user types in an incorrect URL within your site, he/she will receive a customized message explaining the problem and what to do, rather than an intimidating code or a non-descriptive “Error” page. This will help keep him/her from getting confused or frustrated and leaving your site! Another means of retaining visitors is the Redirect URL tool, which refers visitors to the appropriate locations on your website. For example, if a user goes to a web page that no longer exists, he/she can easily be redirected to the correct page.

The author outlines five reasons as to why this could happen. Aplus.Net Marketing Director, Theo Ivanov, is quoted in the first reason – “It’s Lighter.” Theo gives an example of a real estate developer having to constantly be on the move, and the convenience that a small, light PDA provides in that situation.
