Boost your sales with specialized customer support

"Our teams of customer support professionals represent you and your company on-line the way you deserve to be represented. Our scalable HelpDesk client support system and our on-line HelpDesk staff personnel handle all the front end questions and answers, and assist your clients with personalized, friendly service."

We specialize in customer support for marketers who understand that customer support is more than just "copy and paste". If done right, customer support is the most important "back-end" selling machine you have in your sales arsenal. It is just as important as the sales page, because once you've made a sale, keeping your customer happy means that you get to keep the money you made from the sale.

After all, what's the point of making a sale if you lose it because you aren't properly supporting your customers?

Our goal is to make you more money by helping you...

Gain new customers
Retain existing customers
Improve customer relationships
Decrease refunds and chargebacks
Encourage client loyalty and satisfaction; and
Increase your sales revenue by encouraging
your customers to buy more from you

Our job is to free your time so you can do what you do best. By providing your customers with the highest quality of client service professional support, you can focus your attention on developing new product lines or marketing your existing products and services.

All customer support representatives that we work with speak English as their first language, are well spoken, use proper spelling, and are highly literate.

We carefully train and screen each agent to ensure that you will never suffer the embarassment of bad customer support. You deserve to be represented professionally!

We handle everything so you can do what you do best...and focus on being a business owner.

Customer inquiries, pre-sales questions, refunds, unsubscribe requests, technical support, anything and everything that your customers need help with will be handled by the team, promptly and efficiently.

How it works...

We assign your help desk to at least two people who familiarize themselves with your business, inside and out.

Each desk has two or more customer support representatives who work as a team to handle your support needs. They are supervised by our Customer Support team manager who ensures that everything is running smoothly and that all your customer support operations are being handled professionally.

There are three main phases in getting set up with professional customer support...

Phase One: Decision Making

The first step we take towards setting you up with your customer support is to determine the best system for your needs. Each client is unique and have very different needs.

Some only need email handled. Others need phone support as well. Either way, we will customize your customer support solution to match your need.

As soon as you sign up for an account, our Customer Support Manager will contact you to confirm your specific needs and make sure that we plan according to what will best serve your customers.

Phase Two: Help Desk / Voicemail Setup

Once we determine what your needs are, we will set up the email and/or voicemail system for you. This process can happen very quickly, usually within 2 - 6 days.

Phase Three: Learning About Your Products and Customers

As soon as the system is set up, we immediately relieve you of your customer support and begin immediately responding to your customer's questions. We handle a wide variety of common questions right away, without needing to consult you further. For less common issues, we will contact you directly to determine how you want us to handle them.

In the first few days and weeks, expect that you will hear from us more often, as the team will be spending that time learning about your company, products, and customers. But within a few short weeks, questions from our team will dwindle to nearly nothing, as we quickly learn and adapt to your needs.

We build a knowledgebase as we work, ensuring that not only is your customer support being handled professionally, but the customer support desk can easily be handled by anyone on the team. We don't leave your customer support to chance, and make sure that our representatives can easily fill in for one another on a moment's notice.


Customer service billing is economical and simple...

The most common question asked by new online helpdesk customers is "How much can I expect customer support to cost?"

Our billing structure is simple...and extremely cost effective! We charge our clients a scaled flat monthly fee, which is determined by how much time we need to spend working on your desk.

No two customers are alike, and no two email messages are alike either. We do not bill you according to email volume alone. This would be highly costly for you, and that isn't what we want for our customers. Customers who have a high volume of emails do not necessarily need a lot of support. In many cases, high volume is a result of high spam hits.

Warning! If a company charges you according to email volume,
they will be likely charging you for spam as well.

We bill according to how much time (on average) it takes to answer all your customer's questions each day.

At minimum, we check for new help desk questions three times each day, more if your unique situation warrants it. We respond to all messages within 12 hours or less, 365 days a year.

We believe in total accountability and this commitment to you is reflected in our help desk service invoicing and billing system. After setting you up with your client service account, we watch your account carefully to determine the average amount of time our team needs to spend each day, and then set up a monthly subscription for the baseline average.

This way, you can be certain of exactly how much you are paying for customer support each month.

We have two types of customer support accounts. To find out how much we charge for customer support, please select the option that fits your needs...

Monthly Reporting

We provide monthly reports with accurate and detailed information about the average email and/or call volume in any given month, and the average response time associated with each email or call. No hidden fees, no hidden costs, no surprises!

Our Customer Support team manager is ultimately responsible for the quality of your customer support and for reporting each month. You will only ever need to communicate with one person...your very own customer support manager. This one person will handle all the details.


Our Help Desk Technology Makes It Easy...!

We use a unique online help desk system that makes it easy for you to switch your customer support operations over to us. Setup is easy, and you will only need to perform one step to redirect your customer service email over to our online helpdesk. No tricky code or forms for your customers to fill out.

If you already have a web based help desk system installed, we can work with anything you've got. We've worked with Kayako, as well as a wide variety of help desk platforms.

But after much trial and error on a variety of help desk platforms, we've found the one that works best for all our customers, and to make sure that you get the best service possible, we are even willing to pay for the hosting of our preferred help desk.

On-line staff training, responses, customer support, trouble ticket history and email volume tallying all happens in one online system, so we can manage and assign 1, 2 or even 50 on-line client service professionals to one client email help desk! The system is completely scalable to the trouble ticket email volume your help desk receives.

Click here to get an in-depth look at the robust features of our preferred help desk platform:

The primary client service help desk technology we chose is designed for total accountability. This ensures that you will only ever be billed for the work we do for you. It takes all the guesswork out of customer service, and our customer support representatives are always aware that their responses and billable time is completely trackable.

The system tracks daily trouble ticket volume, to give us an accurate picture of how many client service emails you receive each day.

The help desk system tracks overall statistics, so we always know the total volume of client service emails that have been processed.

Each incoming customer support email receives a unique trouble ticket number, and the helpdesk relational database capabilities allow us to track customer support history for any email address, making personalized customer support simple and helpdesk information available at-a-glance. This feature helps us retain the image of "We are familiar with you and know you by name", which has become our trademark service for our own customers.

Speed and accuracy is ensured with the help desk Knowledgebase feature. As we learn about your policies and your company services, we create a series of modifiable templates within the helpdesk system. With many customers, there are common questions, and our trouble ticket templates system allows us to respond quickly and efficiently, without having to retype the same information for each customer service request. This is a major cost saver for you! By pre-programming the helpdesk templates, we ensure that all customer service representatives respond to all client support requests in the same way, with pre-edited and spellchecked help desk templates.

These are just some of the highlighted features in our help desk technology. After reviewing hundreds of help desk solutions, we chose Cerberus as our primary client service solution for all our helpdesk customers. However, if you are currently using a different trouble ticket system and would like us to continue using your customer support system, we are certainly flexible. Just let us know!
