+ I've Called Or Emailed And Have Not Heard Back From You. What Gives?!
First, that stinks! We definitely want to hear from you and try to get in touch with everyone that contacts us as quickly as possible. Sometimes that doesn't happen though and it's usually because of some minor technical glitch or one of those pesky human errors.
Potential Problem #1
You've left a voicemail: All communication is done via email only. We do not return voice mails or communicate via phone. The reason for this is it is primarily not necessary for a positive and efficient experience for our customers. Approximately 1% of our customers use phone communication and their problems are usually solved by follow up emails. Emails are specific and leave written instructions on any questions concerning purchases and course completions. Our goal is to serve you by making your Continuing Education experience a positive, efficient and worry free one.
Potential Problem #2
Email Address Not Added to Contacts: It is important to save our email address: AdvFundamentals@Gmail.com to your contact list. If you do not, our emails can, and often will, end up in your spam box. Emails can also end up in your promotions folder within Gmail. Make sure you save our email address and check your spam or promotions folder as well. During the day, we are able to respond almost immediately sometimes, and often times within 1-2 hours at the most.
Potential Problem #3
Incorrect Email Address: When someone uses the contact form through the website, sometimes the email address is entered incorrectly. We simply cannot get in touch with the person when this happens. The solution to this is simple: If it has been 24 hours and you have not heard back from us, try again with another email, making sure your contact information is correct.
Potential Problem #4
Miscellaneous Problems: We are having technical issues, emotional issues and / or sick child issues. Sometimes our wonderful technology backfires and we are delayed in receiving emails. If an emotional issue is the problem, you will be contacted within 48 hours. The emotional meltdowns here generally last no more than 48 hours. Thankfully they usually happen on weekends. :) If it is a sick child issue, that can take 24-36 hours to resolve. If it is 2 sick children, that can add an additional 12 hours. If the significant other is sick as well, you probably won't hear from us for a week ;). In all seriousness, we've never had a problem contacting someone back within 24 hours if there contact information is received correctly. If you don't hear from us it's probably due to one of the above reasons.
