====== 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 ____. 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 at least two pieces of information from the preview.

Talk Track: //Alright, is this Ms Cindy Cramer in Las Vegas? And your email address is cindycramerlv@gmail.com?//

===== Assist =====

Click on the name of the customer to open 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.

===== Add a note =====

You must record notes for every interaction with a customer. Notes must include:

  * What happened on the call
  * Why you made any changes
  * Whether the customer was irate or upset
  * If any [[general:buzzwords|BUZZWORDS]] were used
  * If any offers were made
  * If necessary, when you will call them back

Click **+ Note** to add your note to the customer record.
