LESSON 13
APPROACHES TO DOCUMENTING

• Lesson Objectives
• Identify approaches to documenting.
PRINCIPLES

1. Map The Most Common Service Journeys


2. Segment The Service Issues Related To Your Most Valuable Customers
3. Turn Service Solutions Into Market Research Opportunities
4. Identify (And Nurture) Your Top ‘Documentors’
5. Document The Channels That Should be Prioritized For Service
MAP THE MOST COMMON SERVICE JOURNEYS
1. In B2B firms, we often talk about the “buyer journey,” or the sequence of steps
that take them from awareness of a product or service to considering a
purchase and finally making a transaction.
2. This could be the kind of channel they use, the average response time across that
channel, the team members that may need to be consulted or to whom a customer
must be routed, and finally the overall time to resolution and typical next steps.
3. In most cases there will not be one single customer service journey, but there
probably won’t be an infinite series of variations, either.
4. Take time to talk to agents as a team about what seem to be the routines and
ensure you not only are well resourced to support those journeys, but make sure
there aren’t ways to make them faster, simpler or better journeys.
SEGMENT THE SERVICE ISSUES RELATED TO YOUR
MOST VALUABLE CUSTOMERS
1. Each customer should be entitled to the best service possible, but businesses
sometimes live or die based on how well they support their most loyal customers.
2. That’s one the best reasons to use tools like CRM, because they make it easy to
quantify those who have placed repeat orders to continue to become valuable in
some way.
3. Their expectations may rise in parallel with the volume of business they conduct
over time, so consider creating a customer service strategy or allocating resources
specific to reducing any churn in this isolated group.
TURN SERVICE SOLUTIONS INTO MARKET
RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES
1. Making customers’ lives easier may require learning more about them,
beyond the products and services they have bought in the past.
2. What data can you gather through these interactions about their needs,
wants and experiences with your current offerings? How might this influence
the way you try to nurture your relationship once their problem has been
resolved?
3. Think of the questions that will help get at this data, ensure agents note it
accordingly and then get it in your CRM
IDENTIFY (AND NURTURE) YOUR TOP
‘DOCUMENTORS’
1. Just like in sales and marketing departments, there are often customer service
stars that rise to a level well above the best of their team members.
2. These are the people who are given the toughest problems to resolve, because
you know they can do it with speed and professionalism.
3. Chances are they are also among the best at capturing key learnings from each
interaction.
4. Singling out these individuals not only for their performance but their prowess in
documentation is a great way to move beyond traditional top-down approaches to
training.
DOCUMENT THE CHANNELS THAT SHOULD BE
PRIORITIZED FOR SERVICE
1. Social media could be a place where some complaints or questions first
emerge, but that’s not necessarily the place where they’ve optimally
resolved.
2. Make sure the team is documenting how they move such cases to a phone
call, an email exchange or some other channel.
3. Look at which channels offer the best return, both in terms of fast resolution
but overall customer satisfaction. This will help you determine which channels
to emphasize to customers in your after-sale marketing activities.

TIPS FOR IMPROVING CLIENT CALL LOGGING

Pick the client log template that’s right for you. Whether you are an established organization or a startup or
smaller company, select a template that suits your industry and client call-tracking purposes (i.e., sales, customer
service, patient tracking, etc.), and that provides the appropriate level of detail.

Use a template to collect all client-contact details. Standardize your client call-tracking practices with a client log
template to capture all pertinent details of every client interaction, so that everyone in your organization knows
where to look for the information they need at a moment’s notice.

Verify all client-call details are entered accurately. Client, customer, and patient information can change rapidly. To
maintain an accurate client call log, ensure that you enter all client information precisely. This level of detail ensures
that team members can use the log to make informed decisions or take appropriate action.

Ensure that call-log information is accessible. When choosing a template format, pick something that everyone on
your team will be able to access and use. You can save documents to a central repository and collect Google Docs
and Google Sheets client log templates in a Google Drive account for easy sharing.
CLIENT CALL LOG TEMPLATE

simple client call log template. The template includes space to enter the date,

call log tracking, or save it as a standard template for all client calls.
SALES CALL LOG TEMPLATE

• Sales teams should have a comprehensive record of their phone calls with
existing and potential clients, so anyone can view the history of

one tracking system for daily calls with
