INQUIRY CONFIRMATIONS
There is a great deal of effort that goes into getting potential clients to
contact our eXpertGenealogy professionals and so there is some additional effort
to ensure that the messages are received.
The web page at
http://expertgenealogy.com/pro/InquiryManagement.aspx describes how
eXpertGenealogy.com helps you manage your inquiries/enquiries. Each time a
visitor enters an inquiries/enquiries on your listing page, an email messages is sent to
you which includes a hyperlink that you can click to confirm
receipt of the message.
You can confirm receipt of an inquiry/enquiry in one of the following ways.
- Click on the link in the inquiry/enquiry email message
- Log into your administration pages by entering your username and password and then click the the INQUIRIES
menu and then click the CONFIRM
link associated to the message you are confirming.
The most common problem in confirming receipt of an inquiry/enquiry is that your email program may "fold" the
confirmation
link address so that you are not submitting the entire address. If this is the
case, you may need to cut and paste the entire link address into your browser
address line.
If you are not receiving each inquiry/enquiry message then your spam
filter is likely blocking your messages. You will need to configure your spam
filter to allow the inquiries/enquiries to be received.
If you are unsuccessful in confirming receipt of a message then a reminder of
the inquiry/enquiry will be sent to you. The reminder is simply a message and
does not imply any other concern.
Note that spam continues to cause havoc with email systems and you may wish to review the
