====== Basic Call Flow ======

Every time you speak with a customer you will follow the same basic process.

You will need logins for Konnektive CRM and FreshDesk.

===== Greeting =====

Greet the customer with your name and ask for their phone number. You may also look up the customer by name or order number.

**Talk Track:** //Thank you for calling Customer Service, this is XYZ. May I please start with your phone number?// 

===== Search for the customer =====

Use the CRM to find the customer:

  - Click **Customer > Customer Service** to bring up the search form.
  - Click **Search Orders** to view results on the bottom pane.

===== Confirm identity =====

You need to verify that you are speaking to the correct person. Have the customer confirm their name and full billing address.

**Talk Track:** //Alright, is this Ms Cindy Cramer in Nevada? And your address is 3500 Naples Drive, Las Vegas, 89103?//

===== Ask for a call back number ====

You need to ask for any best call back number just in case the call got disconnected?

**Talk Track:** // May I please ask for your best call back number just in case we disconnect?//

===== Assist =====

Click on the name of the customer to open their account record. Review the **Continuity, Fulfillments**, and **Transactions** tabs to familiarize yourself with their account.

**Talk Track:** //Great, I have your account open here. How may I help you?//

The customer may have multiple issues; ensure that you address each one.

When ending the call, ask if you can help the customer any further.

**Talk Track:** //Is there anything else I can assist you with? Have a nice day, goodbye.//
