Today's Feedback, Tomorrow's Results
Bringing Feedback Full Circle with Customer Engagement, Consulting, and Coaching
What We Do
Review Site Management
AffectPoint addresses the challenge organizations face as they seek to engage with and coordinate their interactions across online review sites, business listing sites, and social media. The volume of customer input on these sites continues to grow rapidly, and AffectPoint provides full review facilitation. We capture the review and write a customized response that thanks the customer and addresses their positive and negative feedback. This facilitates a final positive impression on the customer, but we believe that there is even more to be gained from each review.
Customers Affect...
-
93% of customers say online reviews affect their purchasing decisions
-
Customers are willing to spend 31% more on a business with excellent reviews
-
94% say an online review has convinced them to avoid a business
-

-

We take the next step and analyze the content of each review. Each positive and negative is noted and turned into numerical data, which is compiled across all review sites and used to discover business strengths and weaknesses.
We provide relational accountability and follow-up for organization leaders. The data compiled from customer reviews is turned back into actionable feedback, and we connect leaders at all organizational levels to share this. Top management gains the opportunity to understand each level of their organization better, and lower management levels have the opportunity to engage with their higher-ups to receive support and solutions. Our coaching approach is personal, and our mission is to challenge and inspire leaders to achieve their goals and exceed their aspirations.
Leadership Affects...
Development
We focus our initial efforts on establishing a leader's Foundation Point. The Foundation Point is a leader's baseline that guides every activity. It should be simple, but comprehensive of both work and personal, and provide a foundation to measure every decision, activity, engagement, and time request. AffectPoint then focuses on Six Organizational Seasons: Start Up, Momentum, Internal Adjustment, External Adjustment, Adaptation, and Growth.
We work with leaders to identify their current season and aid them in their progression into the next stage of their organization’s growth.
Purpose and Values
Embrace People as the Reason for Doing All Things
People
We are determined to forever focus AffecPoint on people. In a modern world filled with so many wonderful tools and technologies, the connection with people is often lost. All the tools in the world, however, cannot replace the importance of interactions among leadership, employees, and customers. There is something to be learned from people at each level in an organization, and we strive to bring people back into each conversation and decision made within our company and the organizations we serve.
Servitude
While financial success and profits may be good indicators of business growth, we do not believe they tell the full story. No metrics such as these, politics, or any other factors will be placed ahead of our servitude to people. Our gauge for success within our company and the organizations we serve is the engagement of our customers and our service towards each other.
Development
We focus on building the skill set and capabilities to serve through our employees and via the customer relationships that we help develop. We care for the needs of our employees and develop them as future leaders with each of our decisions and actions. Additionally, we strengthen our customer’s organizations by providing exceptional input and coaching based on the feedback of their customers.
Humility
Among our goals as a business, making a name for ourselves or the business will never be found. Instead, we choose to put our energy into ensuring our customers and employees are cared for and strengthened with every opportunity.
Truth
We are committed to obtaining the right answer for each decision and action. To do this, we earnestly seek the honest input of our employees, advisers, and customers. We also resolve to act only by what is consistent with our focus on people.
