An Interview with RatePoint President and CEO, Neal Creighton
BuyDomains talks with Neal Creighton, President and CEO of Ratepoint, about how their solution can help companies enhance their customer relationships and improve sales.
Neal Creighton, President and CEO of RatePoint BuyDomains: How is UGC impacting how consumers shop online?
Neal: User-generated content has produced a very dramatic shift in the behavior of how consumers shop on the Web. Consumers are no longer simply pointing, clicking and purchasing as they were a few years ago. Today's consumer goes to the Web to read information about businesses through review sites, blogs and other forums before they make a purchase decision.
BuyDomains: How can a small business develop and manage their online reputation?
Neal: With all the consumer-generated content on the Web, it's really critical for a business to ensure they are taking a proactive approach to managing their online reputation. Negative reviews, whether authentic or not, can significantly impact a business. With RatePoint, businesses can easily capture and respond to customer feedback in real time and then leverage that content to build and market their business.
BuyDomains: What types of businesses are best suited for RatePoint?
Neal: Every type of business can benefit from RatePoint — from e-commerce and retail, to professional services, contractors and non-profits. It's really all about businesses quickly and effectively taking advantage of RatePoint's platform to improve customer satisfaction, solve customer disputes and to leverage positive reviews as a marketing and sales tool.
BuyDomains: How important are reviews and ratings to an online purchase?
Neal: The pervasiveness of reviews on the Web is at an all-time high — in fact, recent research shows that more than two-thirds of consumers look for reviews before they buy online. For a business, it's no longer optional to consider paying attention to reviews — businesses need to participate now. Realizing the sheer power of consumer reviews and how critical they are as a prerequisite to purchases online today is essential for any business looking to increase revenue.
BuyDomains: How does being a RatePoint member increase traffic to a website?
Neal: Being a RatePoint member can help increase your ranking in the major search engines, such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN Live. The more information, content and links your business has out on the internet, the higher your business moves in the search engine results. Being a RatePoint member gives your business more Web content and more links, making it easier for potential customers to find your business.
BuyDomains: What other features does RatePoint have to help businesses stay connected with customers and promote their reputation?
Neal: RatePoint has a lot of innovative features included, such as e-mail marketing, surveys, and testimonial pages. So where a business might have used multiple point solutions such as Constant Contact or other feedback and survey solutions, they can now use a single, easy-to-use platform to easily collect authentic customer feedback and communicate with customers — ultimately improving overall customer service and their business reputation.
