Improved Technical Support

Email questions, technical issues? Our support line is staffed M-F 9-5 (PST)
Call: (800) 955-9454
  

We have taken steps to improve the quality of our technical support services by addressing your feedback to our telephone support. We have also added full time human monitoring of all eBusiness servers.

Technical Support Survey Results: We recently conducted a survey of callers who used technical support. While most were happy with the outcome, we did hear a few complaints. The most common were:

  • The poor quality of the phone line made it difficult to hear the technician.
     
  • The technician had a heavy accent that made it difficult to understand.
     
  • The technician did not understand the reason for my call, or was otherwise unable to help.
Each of these issues has been fully addressed and the most recent feedback has been very positive. Not only is the telephone quality much better, but the technicians have received additional training on how to work with you, our most valued clients. The team is based in India, so there will always be an accent, but they have worked hard to improve their communication skills. Please let us know what your technical support experience was like!

24 x 7 x 365 Human Monitoring. We have added full time monitoring of all eBusiness servers which host your services. Why are these steps necessary? Just last night, a windows update was automatically installed and required a restart of the mail server. When the server restarted, the email service failed to start and our client email was down until we were notified and manually started the service a few hours later. With a human monitoring the system he can watch for failed services, critical errors and also be more responsive to your telephone calls.

Technical Support got my email sorted out tonight. It was an easy fix once they were able to remote into my computer. It nearly 45 minutes. They were very cordial to deal with, and I used the time to design lacrosse plays while they fixed the issue, so it wasn't all "down time". Thanks for your help.

Thanks Michael. I had a good experience with your new Tech Support folks when I was having a bit of trouble accessing my e-mail after moving it from Outlook Express to Windows Mail. I spoke w/ Patrick who then escalated my issue to Victor. He proceeded to remotely access my system to figure out what was going on. With his resources and then access to additional information he obtained from Web Mentors the problem was handled. Thanks again.

I have had a good experience with tech support. Sure there are challenges with accents and cultural nuances or references that make communication difficult, but it's not a big deal. I am pleased when someone is pleasant, eager to help and polite. Ultimately, I want the job done and the problem fixed. One tip might be to have support call back at a set interval from the issue of the problem tag. Perhaps at the end of the call the tech could say, we will work to resolve this problem immediately and will give you an update within two hours on the status if has not been resolved at that point. Knowing an end time would help put me more at ease.
