Software Update
Reach new levels of customer care with Service Order Escalation
I’m sure your company closely monitors pending service orders using the Inbox. If not – you should define a process to use the Inbox to regularly monitor for both Service Orders and Trouble Tickets. Today, we’re focusing on Service Order Escalation.
Creative Solutions
Own your part of the web with Google My Business
Google…it’s a noun and a verb. It also plays a huge role in determining how successful your company is online. You could write a book, which many people have, about using Google to help a business’s prospects. We’ll leave the novel for another day and focus on Google My Business in this month’s article. So what’s Google My Business?
