Inbound Email FAQ

1. What is Inbound Email Management?
   Inbound email management is the management of incoming emails that your company receives.  The tool automatically filters out spam and out of office emails, so that your staff only needs to concentrate on dealing with real customer service emails.   This helps your staff be as efficient as possible, so that they can help more customers.  Inbound email management solution is offered either as a self-serve option (we provide the software and you provide the people), or a full service option (we provide both the software and the people).
2. How will processing inbound email benefit your company?
   The goal of processing inbound email is to maintain high level of customer service. When inbound emails are being processed on a timely basis, customer problems receive immediate attention. With immediate resolution of issues, this also increases customer satisfaction and enhances customer loyalty. Each change of address and spam challenge processed means existing customer information is retained, and no additional money is required to re-acquire those customers.
3. Who manages the inbound email requests?
   Have your agents use our application as a self-serve solution or let us handle all the inbound replies on your behalf, worry free! You can also just use us for your off-hours when you’re unavailable and handle your regular business hours by yourself. To find out more about using our Bamboo Cricket customer service representatives please email us at sales@bamboocricket.com.
4. Can I have Bamboo Cricket handle our inbound replies?
   Yes, you can have our reps handle your inbound replies all the time (full service option managed solution), or a combination with your agents eg. We sort your process or the off hours when you do not want to handle replies yourself. We will work with you to set up relevant business rules and the reply matrix that allow agents to process the email consistently. As each inbound email is redirected to Bamboo Cricket, the replies are sorted into the correct categories. As the managed solution requires Bamboo Cricket customer service representatives to help sort and process your inbound email replies, we ask that you contact our sales representatives directly. This allows us to discuss the business rules and reply matrix with you in detail, jointly create a knowledge base and identify hours of operation. To find out more or to sign up please email us at sales@bamboocricket.com.
