We rolled out Customer Satisfaction Surveys to all users in Zendesk. When a ticket is closed, the primary person will now receive an email about an hour later asking them to rate the support they received.
Publisher Support Tip
To check orders that contain a lot of lines for accuracy, export the order & compare the lines on the Excel spreadsheet to the Buy Sheet. Sometimes it's easier than comparing the Buy Sheet to the UI.

Trading Tip!
A neat tool to help you keep your campaigns managed exists in wunderlist.com. Another way to manage your campaigns is to utilize a "last checked" column on your tracking spreadsheet, and select all of your data and sort by that, so you're able to keep track of what you've checked and when you've checked it.
