E-mail
Response: Take Action — Now
With
SalesLogix E-mail Response, a prospect can request information on your
company website, and become a record in your SalesLogix database within
a minute! And because the request is delivered via e-mail, there is
no direct connection to your database and little security risk.

incoming e-mail and automatically take actions based on content.

Once the
prospect's data is added (or updated) in SalesLogix, E-mail Response
can also send a personalized message back to your prospect. Plus, BusinessAlerts
can be sent to your employees to alert them that a customer has requested
information and updates have been made in SalesLogix.
Integrated
Service Alerts: Manage Tickets — 24-7
Keeping
customers is as important as gaining new ones. And adding Integrated
Service Alerts to your solution — a version of SalesLogix KnowledgeSync
designed especially for SalesLogix Support — can help you service
your customers better than ever before.
A component of Integrated Service Alerts, E-mail Response analyzes customers’
messages and creates tickets automatically, eliminating labor-intensive
cutting and pasting. Follow-up messages are matched with open tickets,
making sure they help resolve issues rather than just waiting around
to be noticed. Support management and administration also improve with
more accurate data on ticket and e-mail creation and activity.
INTEGRATED
SERVICE ALERTS: FEATURES
- Create
tickets from e-mail.
- Communicate
turnaround time to customers.
- Capture
e-mail traffic and update existing tickets.
- Monitor
and escalate outstanding tickets.
- Notify
account managers of new accounts and contacts.
- Protect
the confidentiality of service reps' private e-mail addresses.
Communication
with your customers is also enhanced as they receive messages advising
when they can expect to hear back from you, as well as automatic progress
reports.
Another
component of Integrated Service Alerts, Service Notifications and Escalations,
helps your support team work more efficiently by alerting members if
a new ticket or defect is assigned, if an issue is not being actively
worked, or if a ticket is getting close to its deadline. In fact, Integrated
Service Alerts can automatically reassign or escalate tickets based
on criteria you set. And the interface between Sales and Support will
grow even tighter as you’re notified when a customer’s service
contract is about to expire.
