2.2 Levels

Saucecode is all about helping Service providers leverage their skills. We seek to empower top performing Service providers with helpful tools to grow their business. Service providers who invest in self-promotion may achieve greater customer satisfaction. And, if they deliver on time and maintain high quality and ratings, Saucecode may reward them with new statuses, special opportunities, benefits, and tools that come with it.

Saucecode Service providers can gain account Levels based on their activity, performance and reputation. The advancement criteria canbe found here.

Advancement in Levels are updated periodically by an automated system.

The current Levels a Service provider can achieve are, Level 1, 2, and Top Rated.

Service providers who cannot maintain their high quality service, experience a severe drop in ratings, or stop delivering on time risk losing their Service provider status and the benefits that come with it. For example, late deliveries, warnings to the Service provider’s account and cancellations can cause a Service provider to move to a different Level.

Advanced levels provide their owners with additional benefits.



2.3 Top Rated Service providers

Top Rated Service providers are chosen manually by Saucecode editors based on seniority, volume of sales, extremely high rating, exceptional customer care and community leadership. Top Rated Service providers gain access to more extensive features than previous levels, including exclusive access to beta features and VIP support.

Top Rated eligibility is constantly evaluated by Saucecode to ensure that the quality standards of the Top Rated selection is kept. Top Rated Service providers who cannot maintain their high quality service through a severe drop in ratings, stop delivering on time, or violate our Terms of Service risk losing their Top Rated status and the benefits that come with it.
