Amazon Price Guard-endorsed Cases
The APG team assists the Social Media team in monitoring critical items especially FL product
reviews and Q&A. There are instances when these critical Reviews and Q&A were not yet
captured by the tool, thus, Junior Coordinator will have to create a case for documentation.
Creating a Case in SFDC

• Account Name = Reseller Account
• Customer Name = Reviewer Name
• Choose Asset
• Subject format: Reseller Channel_Rating_SKU_Title or Review
See sample case 09299136. (e.g. Target Review_1star_F8J023bt04-BLU - Dose
NOT WORK!!!)

Other Considerations for Reviews Engagement
• Positive scripting
▪ For positive reviews, it’s fine to inform the customer that we are pleased with his positive
experience
• Keep the positive tone
• Use positive words (e.g. help, assist, offer) and avoid negative words
(e.g. challenge, problem, issue)
• Use positive emotional words (e.g. We are happy to know…) instead
of using mechanical CSAT words (e.g. we are satisfied, very satisfied)
• On Reviews containing jokes, ignore the joke if you’re not sure how
to respond to it and focus on the actionable items instead
▪ For negative reviews, keep a neutral tone and stay away from using ‘emotional’ words
▪ Do not negate/contradict customer’s comment about any known issue,
instead, assure customer that we will provide assistance if he needs more help.
(E.g. Do not say that Velop setup should be flawless when we are aware that
there is an ongoing issue with the setup process)
▪ Don’t say ‘faulty firmware’ in our responses, instead rephrase it by suggesting the
customer to make sure that their firmware is updated.
• The word ‘optimization’ is also suggested
• Use the word ‘optimize’ on reviews with connectivity issues
▪ No need to mention the degree of the issue (‘low’ speed, ‘some’ interferences)
▪ Avoid stating limitations of specific products in our responses and focus in
recommending on products that has the features
• Returned/disposed the product
▪ Invite the customer to the mailers should he need help with any Linksys product in the
future or if there’s something that he wants to share to the team
▪ Ask for information that could help the team research about the issue
▪ No need to ask for contact details and the link to the review
The idea should be that we understand that the customer had a bad experience
but we want him to contact us so that other customers won’t have the same bad
experience
▪ If customer mentioned that he’s been with Support but already returned the
product, focus on investigating what happened with the support experience
and invite to email the case details/case number
pg. 7
Reviews, Amazon Comment, and Q&A Work Instruction
▪ Avoid using lines similar to ‘we hope we had a chance… ‘, instead, we can
directly say ‘There are steps that could have…’ ‘If you have other
queries/Linksys device…’
• Review with actionable items but with comments on pricing and/or product design
▪ Address the actionable item
▪ Acknowledge the comment about pricing and/or product design and inform the
customer that his feedback will be relayed to the product management team
▪ Do not apologize or give any negative comment about the non-actionable item
• Negative Support experience feedback
▪ Acknowledge the feedback and continue to provide assistance
▪ Invite customer to email details/case number to the Cares mailer
▪ Investigate on the support experience (check SF for cases under similar name if no
case number available)
▪ If customer’s record was found on SalesForce (or a case was found under
a similar name), inform the customer about it publicly but details of the
case should be discussed offline (via Cares email)
▪ No need to provide troubleshooting steps if it’s apparent in the Review that
customer has been with technical support team already
▪ If customer mentioned about being in contact with the Support team and a case in
SF is found to be of 100% match (e.g. case number was indicated in the review
content), do not inform the customer about it in public. Invite him to the Cares
mailer to discuss the problem
The idea would be to investigate what happened and help the customer
• Reviews with brand comparison
▪ Do not bring attention to the competing brand (do not mention the brand in the
Review response)
▪ Focus on the product quality and features
• Reviews about adapters
▪ Do not blatantly blame the router
▪ Educate the customer about the adapter being a client device whose
performance is greatly affected by the router/AP’s signal strength
▪ Be careful not to sound defensive and condescending
pg. 8
Reviews, Amazon Comment, and Q&A Work Instruction
• Reviews about range extenders
▪ focus on providing optimal placement of the unit
▪ educate the customer about the SpotFinder and Seamless Roaming (if
applicable)
▪ When providing possible solutions, make sure to look on the entire network and
consider factors that might affect the issue
▪ Be careful when explaining range and speed issues (do not mistake range for
speed; and vice versa)
• Reviews indicating device getting “Too hot”, “Warm to touch”
▪ Advise the customer to place the router in a well-ventilated area
▪ Indicate the operating temperature
▪ No need to mention the storage temperature in the response
• Comments about difficulties on the setup process
▪ Emphasize that setup should be easy under normal circumstances
• Replacement
▪ It is okay to offer replacement publicly if product is within warranty period
• If device is out of warranty, offer replacement in private (via Cares email)
• If life of the product was mentioned in the review and it’s within the warranty
▪ We can publicly inform the customer that we can provide a replacement.
• When we advise our customers to contact their ISP for the Linksys modem to
work, make sure that we mention - ‘for modem provision’.
• If the issue is vague, and no specific details were shared by the customer why
they’ve said that the product didn’t work, then don’t offer replacement right away
on your response
