Service Teams
One of the most important
elements to our enviable service offering is that we have individual
service teams formed for each client in order to meet their own unique
needs. This gives each client the opportunity to meet the people
they will be having regular contact with and thus helping to form a
better understanding and closer working relationship.
The team's objective is not
to sell the client hardware or software but to understand the customers
use of the system, how the client perceives the service delivery of
incovo and to constantly look for ways to improve the clients return on
their investment.
Unique Service
One of the main areas incovo
differ from our peers is we have a service delivery team that is not
financially targeted, as it is not sales led. In past experience
where sales people have been account managers there has been a lack of
consistency and a high level of attention around projects that will end
in a significant sale and little interest in solving problems.
From our experience this is not the fault of the sales person but the
fact that they have a monthly sales target makes it difficult for them
to consistently deliver information and quality of service.
Service
Account Managers
incovo's answer to this is
our SAMs. Each service team is led by one of our Service Account
Managers (SAMs). The SAMs main role is to listen to client
requests and to make sure these requirements are met and understood.
The SAM will be the first point of contact to arrange any activities out
with the run of mill fault calls. In addition to this incovo's
SAMs are trained on their clients systems and will be able to offer
demos and suggestions on how to get the best from their current system.
They can also arrange training and the provision of additional equipment
at short notice. As a result, this model has seen an increase in
business originating from our client base and a higher customer
retention rate.
