			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We  are excited to announce that we are currently in beta testing for some  new and improved ResponseQue help desk features that will soon be  released to the public.</p>
<p><strong>These new features include:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Custom Form Generation</li>
<li>Dynamic FAQ’s</li>
<li>Advanced Category Assignments</li>
<li>Term Exceptions</li>
<li>And Global Answers<span id="more-1092"></span></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>With our new custom form generator</strong> you can quickly create input forms for your business that feed right  into the system. Want to create a return request form for your products,  or a customer satisfaction survey on the fly? Well now you can! And it  laterally only take minutes with absolutely no programing skills  required. You simply select what type of data you want to gather and our  help desk software does the rest.</p>
<p><strong>What is Dynamic FAQ’s? </strong>Dynamic  FAQ’s is a special script that displays your frequently asked questions  on a page of your website. This powerful tool is great for your online  business because FAQ pages get scanned by search engines and customers  alike and the best part about ours is that they update automatically.  This means you get all the benefits with zero effort to you.</p>
<p>ResponseQue’s advanced category assignments  means that you can set rules for the system to follow when it comes to  routing your questions to your staff. For instance you can route  messages based on where a question came from. So if you have a page of  your website that gets a lot of billing questions, you can tell the  system to automatically send these messages to your billing staff only.  Now that’s efficient!</p>
<p><strong>Why are Term Exceptions cool?</strong> Have  you noticed that on the Internet people don’t use proper English  anymore? We have, and that’s why we have added a Term Exception module  to ResponseQue. Here’s how it works. Say someone asks you&#8230; “Where are  you located?” and then someone else asks you “where r u located”&#8230; now  ResponseQue recognizes that these two questions are the same. This is  just one more way ResponseQue saves your business time.</p>
<p>One of my favorite upgrades coming in this next release is<strong> Global Answers</strong>.  With the new global answer type you can let the system know that  certain questions will always have a particular answer no matter what  page it is being answered from. Take for example the question&#8230; “Do you  have this available in red?” and also the question&#8230; “What is your  hours of operation?”. See the answer to the first question really  depends on the page that it is being asked from on your website. If this  question was asked from a page in which you sell hats from and and also  a page where you sell shoes from the answer may differ. However, the  second example question, “What is your hours of operation?”, has the  same answer no matter what page it is being asked from. It is a Global  Answer! This powerful tool will help you train the software in half the  time and we are excited to release it as soon as we can to the public.</p>
<p>ResponseQue  is devoted to developing innovative online customer service software  for your online business. We develop our live automated help desk  systems with one goal in mind to save you time and money. <a href="http://www.responseque.com/how-it-works/">If you haven’t  already, check us out risk free today!</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So  your looking for a good live chat software for your website and  business? Up until now you have probably thought that live chat  is the  only customer service solution out there. While live chat software has been  around forever and has been widely accepted as the &#8220;norm&#8221;, new technology has emerged that literally blows traditional chat software out of the water.<span id="more-1056"></span></p>
<p>See  it used to be that any business that had a website was ahead of the  game, but now each day thousands of companies move to the web forcing  you to again gain a competitive edge to make your business website stand  out amongst your competition.</p>
<p>So what will give you a competitive edge and the biggest bank for the buck? The  answer is as old as time&#8230; you simply need to provide great customer  service to your customer when they need it and where they need it. That  means if you have a website you need to have online support in place.</p>
<p>The question is how do you add online customer service and keep cost down?</p>
<p>One  of the biggest headaches and expenses of adding live chat to your website  is the fact that a live person needs to answer every single question.  This usually means that you need to hire at least one dedicated person  to answer your incoming questions.</p>
<p>But did you know that up to 80% of inquiries that an average business receives using live chat are redundant questions? (In other words&#8230; their getting the same old questions).</p>
<p>The  customer still needs an answer, but answering the same old questions  day after day is costly for you, not to mention frustrating for the  person that has to answer the questions.</p>
<p>Sure  there are some live chat software out there that allow you to save  predefined responses to common questions. But these systems take extra  effort to configure properly and still require a live person to initiate  the response to the customer.</p>
<ul>
<li>What if I told you there is a better way?</li>
<li>What  if there is a software that is similar to live chat, but that actually  AUTOMATICALLY answers frequently asked questions on your behalf?</li>
<li>What if there was a software that eliminates, spam, junk messages in fact up to 80% of your message volume?</li>
<li>Would this system be hard to configure?</li>
<li>Would this system be easy to use (for both you and your customers)?</li>
<li>Is this system cost effective (aka affordable for you)?</li>
</ul>
<p>The  answers may shock you&#8230; yes there is a better way, there is a <a href="http://www.responseque.com/how-it-works/">software  similar to live chat</a>, but that reduces your message volume, eliminates  spam and junk messages, is easy to setup and use for both you and your  customers and the best part is this system is affordable to you.</p>
<p>For  less then the cost of a daily cup of coffee you can have a fully  automated efficient and <a href="http://www.responseque.com/how-it-works/">cost effective live chat system</a>. That not only  saves you money by providing you with the technology at such a fraction  of the cost, but also save you hundreds of dollars each week in customer  service overhead.</p>
<p>Get  the details on this amazing new technology that is literally a game  changer for small businesses like yourself. <a href="http://www.responseque.com/how-it-works/">Watch our video demo now</a> to  see this software in action and stay tune for a special offer that you  will not find anywhere else!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There  are five main important questions that you should consider before  choosing a customer service software for your online business. Let’s  briefly walk through them. <span id="more-1041"></span></p>
<h3>1) Can Your Customers Easily Contact You When They Have Questions?</h3>
<p>The  first questions to ask yourself when selecting your customer service  solution for your online business is can your customers easily contact  you whenever they have a question. This is very important because people  that feel well attended to become great customers and on top of that  they become great marketing tools promoting your business to the world  by posting and tweeting praises online about your business. So make sure  the customer service solution you choose allows you to be widely  accessible to your customers while still guarding you against message  overload (more about that later).</p>
<h3>Will it Make Your Life Easier?</h3>
<p>What  is a software good for unless it makes your life easier. The questions  to ask yourself is, is it efficient, Is it intelligent, does it block  junk messages and other annoying messages like auto replies?<br />
If  the answer is no, then move on to the next software. The right customer  service software should be something that you can’t live without,  something that remembers things you can’t remember, assists you when you  need help answering a question and most importantly the right customer  support system should tell you who your customer is and what page they  are on when they ask a question. Knowing this saves you time when  answering questions and saving time defiantly makes your life easier.</p>
<h3>Is it easy to use?</h3>
<p>One  thing that you should stay away from is software that is way too  technical. If you need a small team of technical geniuses to install it  and spend weeks studying the manual to figure out then stay away from  it. By the time you get a handle on the software it will most likely be  out of date and your left at square one with a bundle of frustration.  Remember the KISS methodology “Keep It Simple Stupid”. Look for a  software that you can easily integrate yourself with your site.</p>
<p>Is it Secure?<br />
An  important factor to consider is if a software securely transmits  messages to and from your customer. Email based software is typically  riddled with security holes so if you are planning on passing sensitive  information through your support system it is recommend to stay away  from email.</p>
<h3>Is it Scalable?</h3>
<p>Scalability  is very import to business, you want to know that when your business  explodes your software can keep up. Traditional customer service system  like phone support, live chat and email/ ticket support software are not  scalable. They always require you to increase the size of your customer  service team to keep up with an increase in messages. As you know  customer service jobs are one of the highest turnover positions within a  company and soon you realize that poor scalability means poor profits.  Which brings us to the next point.</p>
<h3>Is it Cost Effective?</h3>
<p>A  great customer service system is cost effective. It does not cost  thousands of dollars and require technical consultants to configure. A  great customer service system is affordable and flexible. Some customer  service software charge per user, by bandwidth, or a fixed rate.  Consider this though, most customer service “solutions” out there just  provide the technology. But you as a business owner need to look at the  big picture, how many employees will you need to hire and train to  maintain the system, if the system malfunctions who is responsible to  fix it and do you need to hire specialist to install it?</p>
<p>Here’s  the great news. With recent advances in technology you don’t need to  worry about half the things you use to. There’s a new type of software  in town and it is accessible, easy, secure, scalable and cost effective.  Software with what’s called “Smart Query Technology” is taking the  business world by storm. It is the next generation in customer service.  On the surface it looks and functions much like your standard live chat  support software, but what makes it different is that it logs and  indexes every message your business receives in a question and answer  data center. Then it uses that data to 1) automatically answer your  frequently asked questions 2) eliminate spam 3) eliminate annoying auto  replies and 4) helps you answer unique questions faster. And the best  part is&#8230; this technology is affordable nowadays. Even small businesses  on the web that typically could not provide online customer service can  now compete with huge companies that have entire customer service teams  to answer their questions. Software with Smart Query Technology is an  unfair advantage that levels the playing field between big business and  small business. It is like having an 24/7 1st tier customer service team  that always answers properly, never quits and never complains and that  you only have to train once. With smart query technology your business  can scale up as high as the clouds and beyond.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Remember  back in the old days when business was a local enterprise? When what  your customers thought of you mattered and more importantly what they  spoke about to their friends made or broke your business? Then business  suddenly became big, impersonal and customers became numbers. Customer  service was outsourced and barriers were put in place to shield  companies from their customers and the very life blood they thrived on.<span id="more-1024"></span></p>
<h2>Then Something Changed</h2>
<p>The  Internet became more popular, and with the Internet suddenly people  began to feel  a little personal in a growing impersonal world. As a  result business needed to change. Suddenly if you were a company  mistreating your customers their story could be shared on the Internet  1000 times over. Consumer horror stores spread like wild fire seemingly  overnight crippling companies.</p>
<h2>The Importance of Providing Great Customer Service</h2>
<p>These  days, with the use of the Internet, businesses are forced to conduct  business as they did decades ago. Where if you had an unsatisfied  customer you better catch them before they leave, resolve their issue,  before they run off and tell the rest of the people in town. These days  if you don’t treat your customers right the world will know. On the  Internet what people say is not just shared with their friends, but with  their friend’s friends and their friend’s friends. Once story can be  viewed literally millions of times before a company is even aware they  did anything wrong.</p>
<p>Online  companies are slowly and painfully coming to the realization that they  need to be providing great customer service especially online. The risk  is to great not to, but the reward is even better. The flip side of the  coin is that it has been proven that if you provide great customer  service your customers will stay a customer longer, recommend your  business to their friends more and spend more money for a product, even  in a bad economy. If you treat your customers right your business will  flourish, if you treat them right online, your business will explode to  new heights that you never thought possible.</p>
