Use interview questions to create a list of the questions that employees can ask each time a customer calls in with a service/repair issue. Interview questions have several advantages:
- Employees can walk the customer through a few troubleshooting steps to avoid an unnecessary service call.
- The technician is prepared with the necessary parts and tools based on the explanation of the problem.
- Anyone can ask the questions to help troubleshoot the issue.
Create an Interview Question
- Open the Interview tab (Administration > Service and Delivery > General Setup > Interview Questions).
- Click Add. The New Service Question Category screen appears.
- Category Name - Input a name for the interview questions. For example, Spa Leak or Delivery. The Category Name will appear on the Interview tab on a Service Order.
- Click Save and Add Questions.
- Input a question, and any additional details. The details will appear with the question on the Service Order.
- The questions should take into account any information the tech will need prior to going to the site.
- Questions could also include information that is important if the client is not home when the service is performed (gate codes, dogs, etc.).
- Click OK to save this question.
- Click Add to add additional questions to the interview.
- (optional) Click Change Order of Questions to change the order of the interview questions.
- Click OK to save the interview.
Import interview questions from a spreadsheet
Use the Import From Spreadsheet button on the Interview tab to quickly import the interview questions from an MS Excel spreadsheet (Administration > Service and Delivery > General Setup > Interview Questions).
Be careful! This will replace all of the existing interview questions.
