Customer Service – Experience the Difference
The whole of our business is directly focussed on delivering great customer service and we think that makes us stand out. It’s an attitude not a department, as our head of account management Helene Heyes is quick to point out.
“We recognise that as well as the teams who deliver services to our customers, there is a need to have a designated “some-one” who is the primary point of contact for that customer and this is the Account Manager. The InCloud Solutions Account Manager is part of both the consulting and the sales teams and therefore has a direct association with services and support delivery as well as having an understanding of SAP Business ByDesign and all the add-ons available to our clients for their consideration as the business alters.
Each client has an account manager and during the initial implementation, this role is primarily carried out by the Project Manager, but as the main project is completed then there is a handover to the Account Manager who then assumes the role and responsibility.”
What attributes does the designated Account Manager have?
The Account Manager is knowledgeable about the features of the solution as well as your business requirements. It is a key part of the role to consider the options we offer and make sure that the client’s requirements are being met. This includes any add-on applications or development, support and consultancy or training.
Key characteristics are :
- Positive “can do” attitude
- Close relationship with both the customer’s team and our team
- Integrity
- Open to suggestions and criticisms
- Problem solver
- Dedication
- Enthusiasm
