SAMPLE COMPANY Page 1 of 3 SOP # 19-4 Revision: 0 Prepared by: _ Effective Date: Approved by: _ Title: POST-SALE CUSTOMER FOLLOW-UP Policy: Customer Service will verify that new customer's have received their equipment shipment and resolve any problems the customer may be experiencing with either set up or use of the equipment to assure initial customer satisfaction with our products. Purpose: To outline the follow-up action and sample telephone script to be used by Customer Service representatives. Scope: This procedure applies to sales to all new customers who may be unfamiliar or inexperienced with use of our equipment. Procedures: 1.0 Post-Sale Follow-Up 1.1 The Customer Service Department will be responsible for calling new customers five (5) to ten (10) business days after their order has been shipped. A Post-Sale Satisfaction Report (Exhibit 1) should be completed with the customer's order information before placement of the call. The call should consist of an introduction of the company, the customer service representative and the purpose of the call. The outline of the script provided should be followed but the representative should feel free to speak in their own conversational style by substituting words or phrases as necessary. The length and format of the call should be determined by the customer's needs and/or desires and the representative should respond accordingly. If any equipment is missing from the shipment, not working properly or if the customer is dissatisfied for some reason, the representative should take the necessary action to resolve. 2.0 Reporting 2.1 Upon completion of the call, the representative should complete the Post-Sale Satisfaction Report. If the representative encounters any unusual or informative items, requests or comments by the customer, the report may be copied to any interested parties (e.g., Sales, Engineering, Quality Control, etc.). The report should then be filed in the customer's file.
