Customer Service Team Training
Following the Benefits Check by the FBS, the Customization Team is tasked in HS to reach out to the SLP to offer pre-trial customization. The SLP is sent an email by the Customization Specialist similar to this requesting patient-specific information for the trial device. Customization requests are processed within 2 business days. If the Customization Team does not hear back from the SLP within 2 days they will go ahead and ship out a device with the basic information that we know about the patient. The SLP always has the option to send the information later and the Customization Team will create the customization and send it out to the device. If an SLP already has a loaner device on hand, the Customization Team will still reach out to offer this service and will push out the customization to the SLP's device. MIDTRIAL CUSTOMIZATIONS: At times, customizations need to be modified during the course of the trial. These modifications can be completed by the CC or they can be tasked by the CC to the Customization Team. The modifications will be made and pushed out to the loaner device. Then, the CC or Customization Team will send the SLP/ CP instructions for how to obtain the data on the loaner device. Use this link to see the current staff members on the Customization Team: LG Organizational Chart
The Operations Team manages all equipment and shipping duties for the company. This includes keeping track of who has loaner devices, shipping loaner devices, getting loaner devices back, keeping devices updated, and working as they should. This also includes managing accessories, preparing sales devices for shipment, and handling any device repairs. The Ops Team manages all of this through Tickets in HS. "LAUNCH USER TASKS" can be found down the right-hand column of the Contact Record or Deal Record in HS. Many teams utilize User Tasks in HS, but not every task is available to every team. Rather, teams are given access to the tasks that they need to fulfill their duties. CSSs will utilize the following USER TASKS: Contact Record: Request Equipment, UPS Return Labels For further information on shipping requests for a CSS, reference the Tettra article here: https://app.tettra.co/teams/lingraphica/pages/shipping-requests To request a UPS Pick-up for a device or devices, you can use the UPS workflow in the #shipping channel on slack.

CSS 101 - The General Inquiry Pipeline
Of the many different pipelines in Hubspot, the General Inquiry (GI) pipeline is where the CSS will live. You can learn more about the GI pipeline including the different stages and a CSS's roles and responsibilities as well as different customer interactions we see at the link below: https://app.tettra.co/teams/lingraphica/subcategories/64622
Tickets
Contacts
Deals
PLAYBOOKS Playbooks in Hubspot are "How-To Guides" for completing various tasks. They are located in the right-hand column of any record (ticket, contact, or deal). For a CSS, this will most often be used when doing a Facesheet Submission. More often than not, a CSS will use the log call feature rather than logging a playbook.
To navigate to our team's document folder in Hubspot, select Sales from the top bar and then Documents. On the Documents page, we are '2 CES'. A direct link to our documents folder is here: https://app.hubspot.com/documents/1905086/?folder=1411608&page=1
SNIPPETS Snippets are saved shortcuts in HS that we can create and add to communications within HS. This makes it possible to quickly add some of the information that we frequently need to communicate to customers. You can take a look at Snippets in HS by clicking on the CONVERSATIONS Tab in the Toolbar and clicking on SNIPPETS. All snippets are designated by #name. For example, typing #data in an email will populate instructions for backing up a device to the cloud. Go to Hubspot and explore our Snippets Folder It is also helpful to search for snippets by owner within Hubspot if the snippet you need is in another folder or if you aren't sure where it is located but you know who created it.
Scheduling Meetings in HubSpot Hubspot, Outlook, and Zoom can all be interconnected. Many LG employees have a meeting link in HS so that anyone, including families and SLPs, can set up phone or Zoom consultations. A scheduling page can be created or edited in HS by clicking on SALES in the toolbar and then clicking on MEETINGS. https://app.hubspot.com/meetings/1905086 Once on the 'Meetings' page, you can search for any meeting owner to find their scheduling links. This is very helpful if a customer calls in needing to cancel and reschedule an upcoming consultation with their Clinical Consultant (CC), Consumer Technology Consultant (CTC), or Training and Technology Specialist (TTS) That being said, best practice is to alert the person who the meeting was with to see if they are available to speak with the customer now to reschedule. If they are not, task them to follow up.
Tasks Tasks are a great way to keep up with your work and with any necessary follow ups. Tasks can be synced with your outlook calendar for greater visibility. For more information on how to do that use the link below: https://knowledge.hubspot.com/tasks/sync-tasks-to-your-google-or-outlook-calendar
DASHBOARDS Hubspot uses Dashboards to track metrics. CSS has their own individual Dashboard to track things such as ticket activity, productivity, and even data that you'd like to research about the different customers reaching out to our team and what they need help with. Managers and Directors also use HS Dashboards to track metrics for teams, trials, and marketing. You can explore all Dashboards and create your own in Hubspot by clicking on the REPORTS tab in the HS Toolbar and choosing Dashboards. CSS Dashboard - Frontline Productivity and Ticket Management
TEMPLATES Templates are saved shortcuts in HS that we can create and add to communications within HS. This makes it possible to quickly add some of the information that we frequently need to communicate during trials. You can take a look at Templates in HS by clicking on the CONVERSATIONS Tab in the Toolbar and clicking on TEMPLATES. You can clone templates from other CC's to your folder and tweak them to include your verbiage. To access templates in an email on HS, you will select CREATE EMAIL in the deal you wish to work in, select TEMPLATES, select the preferred owner's folder (right hand side), and then select the template you wish to use. Go to Hubspot and our Templates folder. It is also helpful to search for templates by owner within Hubspot if the template you need is in another folder or if you aren't sure where it is located but you know who created it

FUNDING OVERVIEW Benefits are checked by the Funding Benefits Specialist (FBS) upon the SLP submitting the intake form. The FBS will alert the Trial Coordinator (TC) who will alert the SLPs on the funding of the device. If the device is covered at 80% or greater, no confirmation is needed. The loaner device will be sent and the SLP will be provided the Financial Assistance Application (FAA). If the device is less than 80% covered by insurance, a confirmation is required prior to shipping the device. The FBS will take care of talking with the family/ SLP and obtaining the confirmation. Coverage: Medicare covers devices at 80%. CCs will be tasked with an alert in HS regarding any special funding concerns. Funding information can be viewed in the properties on the left side of the Deal Record in HS.

Crystal C : Benefits, Prep & Shipping, & Trial Stage. JV: Paperwork & Beyond! If you have an urgent, time-sensitive request, please share it in #customization to ensure it is visible to the entire team
Every deal moves from the benefit check stage to Pretrial Customization (PTC) unless the SLP has told the Funding Coordinator that they are ready to skip to paperwork. When a deal moves to PTC, they receive an e-mail appropriate to the age group the client is a part of. We communicate that the device will be processed within 2 business days (typically the next day) but that information can be e-mailed back to the customization team at any time and we will update remotely.
If someone is calling in or otherwise reaches out for support with device customization and they are currently in trial, post in the #customization SLACK channel for assistance. Explain the situation and link the deal in your post. You can also tag (@) the CC on the deal to make them aware. If it is urgent, make sure the team is aware of that urgency!
Turnaround time on updates is 1-3 business days. Customization will be done and code will be pushed remotely with instructions to the SLP from customization team on how to get the customization downloaded on the device. If someone calls or otherwise reaches out for assistance, refer to this: Device Back up and Data Transfer

SWITCHING CHANNELS
MOVE DEAL TO/FROM CONSUMER
REOPENING DEALS THAT HAVE CLOSED When a deal closes, it is often because timing is off for the PWA, the insurance isn't active, the PWA is living in a setting where the insurance won't cover a device, etc. It is not unusual for a PWA to return to Lingraphica and want to start another trial. Click here to learn more about Reopening a Closed/Lost Deal
CONSUMER TRIALS Every trial at Lingraphica will either go through the SLP Sales Channel or the Consumer Channel. SLP Sales Trials are for people who are working with an SLP. These are traditional trials. Consumer Channel Trials are for people who either don't have consistent access to their SLP or who do not have an SLP with whom they work. These trials are closely vetted so that we can ensure maximum success. Click on this link to learn about Consumer Trials Occasionally, a trial will need to switch from a Consumer Trial to an SLP Trial or vice versa. In these instances, there are HS Playbooks that will walk the CC through the steps to accomplish this. The first step in switching a trial from one channel to the other is always to talk with your manager! Go to HS, search "Switching Deals from SLP Channel to Consumer Channel" in Playbooks. Then, search "Switching Deals from Consumer Channel to SLP Channel" and read through this Playbook.
CLINICAL CONVERSATIONS There are cases, usually based on diagnosis or sometimes with multi-lingual users, where a clinical conversation is needed to discuss concerns and potential limitations of our equipment. A form is completed to document this, it is called the Acknowledgement of Accessory Limitations Form (AAL) Click this link to see a list of diagnoses that require Clinical Conversations
VA DEALS Only specific CDSs handle VA cases. Currently, NaShae Broadway and Stephanie Kurtz handle these. For CSS submitting intake, refer to this Tettra: Intake Process - VA VA SLPs DO NOT submit any paperwork. This includes Patient Forms!
Lingraphica has two separate sales channels where device trials take place. The SLP channel and the Consumer (at-home) Channel. It is not extremely common but deals can move from one channel to the other. When dealing with this situation refer to the Tettra page below: Procedures for switching sales channels

Customer Service Function Our goal within this function is to offer standout service to existing and prospective customers leading to strong customer retention and acquisition on the frontline. The role of customer service specialist embraces all Lingraphica values, and priority is given to empowerment behavior: Put the customer first. A customer service specialist is expected to offer insights and overall feedback on the customer's journey in different areas, such as frontline interactions, which include chat, emails, and calls. While most feedback will center on improving customer service processes and related interactions, a specialist's insight may help improve processes and systems outside of this function that impacts the overall customer experience. Since customer service is the gateway to information for many of Lingraphica's existing and prospective customers, a CSS's role is critical in effecting change toward an improved experience across all customer touchpoints. “Your customers are the lifeblood of your business. Their needs and wants impact every aspect of your business, from product development to content marketing to sales to customer service.” – John Rampton
When CC's have extended PTO, TCs will aid in communication to SLPs/PWA/CPs
- CC will add snippet to out-going emails prior to PTO, letting SLPs know their PTO dates.
- CC will make TC aware of PTO dates
- TC contact info (phone/email) will be added to OOO reply and voicemail message
- TC will direct any clinical questions to the CC's Manager
- If TC receives Loaner Ordered or New Trial tasks for CC during their PTO, alert CC Manager ( Katherine or Jennifer Hanson)

A customer service specialist is expected to offer insights and overall feedback on the customer's journey in different areas, such as frontline interactions, which include chat, emails, and calls. While most feedback will center on improving customer service processes and related interactions, a specialist's insight may help improve processes and systems outside of this function that impacts the overall customer experience. Since customer service is the gateway to information for many of Lingraphica's existing and prospective customers, a CSS's role is critical in effecting change toward an improved experience across all customer touchpoints. “Your customers are the lifeblood of your business. Their needs and wants impact every aspect of your business, from product development to content marketing to sales to customer service.” – John Rampton
