4. Approving and Promoting Testimonials

4.1. Approving & Promoting Testimonials

 

Note: Only Survey Responses with a Testimonial can be reviewed and published. Surveys completed with ratings only are automatically posted to your agent profile page.

When a survey is completed with a testimonial, it must be approved by you before it appears on your public profile page. To approve the testimonial, go to the ‘Testimonials’ section of your Agent Dashboard and you will see a list of 'Testimonials Needing Approval'. Click on the 'Review' button next to the testimonial you would like to approve.

Once you start the review process, click on a color from the color picker to change the border color of the visual testimonial. Now, choose ‘Let everyone see this testimonial’ or you can keep the testimonial private and hidden from your feeds by selecting ‘Keep this one private’. Testimonials that you make Public will appear on your Agent Profile Page and anywhere that your Agent or Office RSS feed has been used.

We convert your testimonials into a Visual Testimonial, so you can easily share it online and on social media (or anywhere you would like to share it). Before publishing to your social media channels, please be sure that you have enabled your Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram toggle under your Social Media Manager settings. 

If you do publish your testimonial on your social media channels, you can customize the text for the message 'Add text to the post' before it gets post. We automatically pre-populate a default message to save you time. You can also choose not to post a particular testimonial on your social channels by selecting 'No Thanks'.

Click on 'Confirm' to proceed.

If you no longer have access to that email, sign into your Agent Dashboard go to the ‘Testimonials’ section and scroll down to the ‘My Testimonials’ section. Once you find the testimonial you want to review, click the ‘Publish’ button and you will be able to complete the approval process again.

Once you start the review process, click on a color from the color picker to change the border color of the visual testimonial. Now, choose ‘Let everyone see this testimonial’ or you can keep the testimonial private and hidden from your feeds by selecting ‘Keep this one private’.

We only ask for testimonials from clients who were highly satisfied with your performance during the survey process. When collecting the Testimonial we are also collecting permission from your customer to use and display the Testimonial 'as is' on your behalf. This means we are unable to make changes to it without their permission (aside from obvious typos).

If there are parts of a testimonial that need to be edited, you will need to seek your client's permission. You can have them email us this permission at support@realsatisfied.com. The email should include the edits, your name and the property address.

Our Say Thank You With a Coffee feature allows you to send a small token of appreciation to your customer for providing feedback in the form of a Starbucks Gift Card. Available in a variety of values from $5 to $50, it's the perfect way to say "thank you and let me buy you a coffee

5. Encourage Reviews

5.1. What is Encourage Reviews?

RealSatisfied pioneered the syndication of ratings and recommendations for the real estate industry. We knew agents needed a simple way to manage their customer satisfaction and performance data and deliver the results it to the places consumers could see them. From the start, RealSatisfied had provided agents with the solution required to simplify a needlessly complex process of distributing agent rating and testimonial content.

Unfortunately, not all sites that provide a place for real estate ratings and testimonials allow the simple syndication of this data from third parties. This has created considerable frustration for our customers and needless effort on the part of consumers.

We've decided to take some steps of our own to make this process easier.

We have collected feedback from a number of clients who have had considerable success in encouraging their clients to take the extra steps to place their feedback on multiple sites  - mostly in conjunction with our 'Say Thank You With A Coffee' feature. We liked the concept and decided to have a look at how we may be able to make this easier, both inside and outside of the existing thank you process.

The result is Encourage Reviews. A simple way to encourage clients who have provided a Testimonial to post their feedback on sites that require direct posting by the customer.

;

From your Agent Dashboard, go to ‘Publishing’ and scroll down to your ‘Encourage Reviews’ section then turn on the toggle for ‘Facebook Reviews’.

Encourage Reviews for Facebook will then be configured.

5.6. Encourage Reviews in Surveys

;

After your clients write their testimonials, the next page will prompt them to post the testimonial to the review platforms you selected when you created the survey invitation (check this support article for details).

The page will instruct your client to click the 'Copy Testimonial' button. A check icon will display indicating that it has been copied. Next, your client needs to select one review site at a time.

For example, they click on Google. A new window will appear directing them to your Google business page. Then, the pop-up box for the ratings and reviews section will appear, and from here they can right-click or press "ctrl+V". Their testimonial will now be pasted on the box. After they post their ratings and reviews, they can simply click the close X button to exit the window. They will still see the option to post to the other review platforms.

If your client decides not to post to the other sites by clicking 'No Thanks', a pop-up message will appear. Here, they can choose 'Back To Post' and complete the steps above. Or, they can click 'Finish Without Posting'.

In case your clients finished the survey without posting to Google, Zillow, or Facebook, you can manually resend the Encourage Reviews link from your agent dashboard. Follow the steps on our support page Repeating the Encourage Reviews Steps for guidance.

5.7. Repeating the Encourage Reviews Steps

;

Before using Encourage Reviews, please be sure to go to the 'Publishing' section of your Agent Dashboard and scroll down to the bottom to connect your Encourage Reviews accounts to RealSatisfied. You only need to do this once.

Once you have received a testimonial from a customer and have made the testimonial public, you can use Encourage Reviews to ask your customers to easily post that same Testimonial for you to the Review Sites you have configured.

From your Agent Dashboard, go to the ‘Testimonials’ section and find the testimonial you want to promote. Click on the ‘Encourage Reviews’ button. A pop-up box will appear showing two steps.

1. Choose from the drop-down menu which Review platform you want your client to post their testimonial. You can click the information icon (info) to learn more about this section.

2. Next, click the ‘Copy URL’ button and send this URL to your client. 

The URL will have instructions for your client and link them directly to the review section on your profile for the Review Sites you have included. Your client needs to select which site they want to paste the testimonial and click the 'Copy Testimonial & Launch' button.

6. Quarantined Survey Responses

6.1. Quarantined Survey Responses

The RealSatisfied system contains a number of audit and validation checks to verify the authenticity of responses received for Agents. It's ultimately important to us, our customers, and consumers that RealSatisfied Testimonials come from real customers involved in real transactions.

When an item is Quarantined you will be notified via email. These are also highlighted in the Notification bell as displayed below. 

To view your quarantined items, go to the “Surveys’ section of your dashboard and under ‘Surveys Requiring Action’ you will see all quarantined responses. Click on the arrow button under ‘Resolve’ . Click on the drop-down button to view additional details. This is also where you can view the PDF report.

For Quarantined items you have 2 options. 

  1. Request Review: where you believe that the quarantined item is an error, you can request a review. This will automatically open a helpdesk ticket for the review and a member of our team will look at the response. This will notify our team and the survey response will be manually reviewed. We will either release it, or we may come back to you to ask for further information.
  2. Delete: You may also opt to delete the invitation and response completely at this time. Quarantined surveys are not included in your over-all ratings until the survey is released.

 

Note: Items remaining in Quarantine for an extended period of time may be subject to deletion from the system without notice to you.

9. Payments

9.1. Australian Merchant - Braintree

We Process Credit Card Payments In Australia

As you may know, RealSatisfied is an Australian company (we are based in sunny Manly, NSW Australia). 

Our credit card merchant is provided by Braintree Payments (https://www.braintreepayments.com/) and our credit card transactions are processed in Australia.

While most of our customers are able to make payments with us with no issues, on occasion, if your card is issued outside of Australia, your card issuer have restrictions on your ability to process transactions with us.

This is not a common occurrence, however it can be a little frustrating if it should happen to you.

Declined Transactions

When a transaction is refused, we do try and tell you why (we are limited to the messaging that is returned to our merchant from your bank or card issuer). 

Some of these messages are simple to understand eg: 51 - Insufficient funds some are a little more vague eg: 05 - Do Not Honor.

In most cases you will need to contact your bank to be able to use a card that returns one of the following errors:

  • 2000 Do Not Honor. This generic response indicates that the customer's bank is unwilling to accept the transaction. The reasons vary; the customer will need to contact their bank for more details.
  • 2001 Insufficient Funds. At the time of the transaction, the account did not have sufficient funds to cover the transaction amount. Subsequent attempts may be successful.
  • 2002 Limit Exceeded
  • 2003 Cardholder's Activity Limit Exceeded

Our experience is that the contact to the bank need only to be done once.

The following errors can typically be resolved by the you or your card issuer

  • 2005 Invalid Card Number (check the card number and try again)
  • 2002 Insufficient Funds 
  • 2003 Cardholder's Activity Limit Exceeded
  • 2004 Expired Card (This may occur with a recurring transaction if the new card has been issued - you may need to update your card with us)
  • 2005 Invalid Card Number (check the card number and try again)
  •  
  •  

The following errors typically cannot be resolved with this card and another card will need to be used

  • 2006 Invalid Expiration Date
  • 2007 No Account
  • 2008 Card Account Length Error
  • 2009 No Such Issuer
  • 2010 Card Issuer Declined CVV
  • 2012 Processor Declined - Possible Lost Card
  • 2013 Processor Declined - Possible Stolen Card
  • 2014 Processor Declined - Fraud Suspected
  • 2015 Transaction Not Allowed
  • 2016 Duplicate Transaction
  • 2017 Cardholder Stopped Billing
  • 2018 Cardholder Stopped All Billing

Why are you refusing my card, it works everywhere else?

When we try to process a card, our merchant (our merchant, Braintree) contacts your bank electronically to process the transaction. We can only complete this when your bank/card issuer approves it. 

You may have used you card to buy office supplies or pay for an ad somewhere just before you tried it with us - and it worked fine. We understand this can be frustrating and a little confusing when it happens.

When your card is declined, it is being declined by your bank/card issuer - it does need to be resolved directly by you as the cardholder with your card issuer.

Don't panic, this can normally be resolved with a call to the bank/card issuer and saying to them...

"I am trying to make a payment using my card to a company that is based in Australia, however it is being declined. Can you please assist me in allowing this and future transactions with them to be processed."

9.2. Foreign Transaction Surcharges

There Are Additional Fees On My Credit Card Statement. Why?

We are an Australian company and we process our credit card transactions through an Australian Bank (read more about that here).

There are two types of surcharges that customers with card issued outside of Australia may encounter.

  1. Foreign Currency Conversion Fees. These fees currently only impact Canadian customers purchasing Starbucks giftcards, as these are paid in $US. We make every effort to process transactions in your local currency. This is one instance where this is out side of our control. The surcharges charged by your bank will appear as a different line item on your card statement and they are levied by your bank.
  2. Foreign Merchant Fees. These are very different and appear to only be charged by some US banks. For US customers we process all charges in $US - there is conversion occurring, therefore no conversion fees applied. This charge is made directly to you by your bank/card issuer. We have no control over it, and no visibility as to when it is charged. This surcharge, where applied, will appear as a different line item on your card statement. We pay an uplifted % for each non Australian Dollar (AUD) transaction we process (an additional fee), to recognise the international aspect of the transaction. For further information we recommend contacting your bank to ask them why it is being charged.

9.3. Credit Card Being Rejected

If your Card has been Rejected

Often this is a security measure put in place by your bank/card issuer.

Your bank/card issuer has refused the transaction when we have attempted to process it.
Typically this is resolved by you making a phone call to you bank/card issuer and requesting this (and future) transactions from RealSatisfied are honored.

Our experience is you need to do this just once, and it affects some customers outside Australia as our merchant is based in Australia. Please make your bank aware of this.

12.2. I received a survey response and I want to delete it, what can I do?

RealSatisfied is an ‘all in’ or ‘all out’ service. We do not allow for responses to be removed from the system.

However, you can remove your ratings from displaying publicly if you desire. This would allow you to continue getting the benefits of customer feedback and give you time to work on improving your overall customer satisfaction rating. To disable your ratings, click on ‘Settings’ and turn off the toggle for ‘Display Ratings’. You can also choose to display just aggregated ratings, which would be a blended total of all your surveys, rather than showing the detailed ratings for each survey.

12.3. Can I Customize the survey

One of the key benefits of RealSatisfied is that the surveys come ready to go “out of the box”. This helps keep the product affordable and also allows you to get started right away. It also lets you compare your results over time and against our national benchmark.

We have worked closely with industry groups, agents, and professional researchers to develop the surveys we have available.

To achieve all of this means everyone using the system is using a standard set of professional surveys, developed for your industry in your country. Therefore, our surveys are not customizable.

12.5. Why am I quarantined

There's a number of reasons why survey responses may end up in our Quarantine. We aim to be quite vigilant in ensuring all of the survey responses we receive are genuine, and from time to time this may result in a few false positives being detected through our procedures.

Requesting a review of a quarantined item is quite straightforward. Click here to learn how.

12.6. Client is not receiving the survey invitation

You can resend the email and have the client look out for it. Follow the steps in Resending Invitations

As you can imagine, deliverability is a top concern for us. We have tested many different email headlines using the best spam detection tools available. Our emails now have one of the highest not-spam ratings we've seen. This, however, only applies to the organizations established to identify spam, not to specific user settings that may automatically mark content outside of those guidelines. 

Those who are getting the highest response rates are letting their clients know that the email is coming from RealSatisfied.com, that the email title is their address, and that the feedback is very important.
