Confirmation of Customer Request
When a customer submits a request, immediately send them a confirmation text and then another when your request has been dispatched to staff for completion.
Look:
Your ultimate goal is to ensure your customers have peace of mind.
With that said, it’s vital that you put processes and a system in place that allows you to achieve this goal.
When your customers need something, let them know you’re listening and on top of it.
Give them the real-time information they want.
Notify them when their requests have been received, dispatched, and completed by sending a text message to them no matter where they are.
Communicating with them throughout this process, lets your customer know that you value them.
It’s a convenience for customers, and it shows them how important the details are to you.
Staff Reminders for Maximum Efficiency
Whether your staff remembers to complete the request or not, send them a quick reminder for the request so nothing slips through the cracks.
Like we said before:
The details always matter!
With that said…
You must guarantee that nothing slips through the cracks.
How useful would your system for managing customer requests be if nothing is being managed?
Your peace of mind depends on your staff’s ability and willingness to deliver on customer requests.
Here’s the kicker:
Accountability.
The only way to properly deliver on your requests is to prevent your team from slipping up on their duties.
You can give your staff request details in real-time.
It gets better:
You’ll ensure that all customer requests are not only completed but according to your procedures and expectations.
Your system has the ability to automatically send reminders for each request to your staff.
How’s that for delivering exceptional customer service – with maximum efficiency?
Organization of Request Types to Ensure Requests Are Properly Handled
Categorize and manage all of your request types so you and your staff know how to locate resources and execute protocols in order to properly carry out all customer requests.
The truth is:
You can do a lot with one of these systems in place.
Regardless of your industry, you can track and manage all sorts of requests and deliver based on your specific protocols to handle.
