Adding a Customer Record
When you have a new customer that has signed a contract, or a new prospective customer your sales team is working with, you'll want to create a customer record in your system to track conversations, create orders, and generate invoices.
*Note* When adding a customer, or any record in your system, be mindful of your current hierarchy level.
- Navigate to the Customer option on your navigation tree and select the + option (or use the keyboard shortcut Alt + 2)
- A new window will open, enter the customer name as you want it to appear on the record
- Optionally, enter the following information:
- Address: This should be the main location address. Entering the address here populates on the details page and creates your first worksite for this customer. (we highly recommend adding an address). If you have address standardization turned on, you may be required to standardized the address entered before continuing.
- Default Worker Comp: If this is a prospect you are entering, don't worry too much about this option as it can be changed later in defaults.
- Phone/Email: This would be a phone or email that is not for a specific person/contact like the general phone number for this business. Documenting this can be helpful for cold calls, etc.
- Sales & Service Information: Information such as Account Manager, Sales Team, etc. appear under the sales & service section of the customer record and can always be updated there.
- Terms: This is saved under the credit and payroll section on the customer record and determines when an invoice is overdue. Typically this is updated after the contract is signed and does not need to be changed here.
- Notes: Anything entered here will appear on the notes visifile section. Notes here should always be applicable and important since they have no name or date/time stamp associated with them. For other notes and conversation information, we recommend logging a message.
- Select Save
By default, the customer record will be saved with a Prospect status.
*Note* Wondering about the defaulted information?
- The Account Manager defaults to the service rep who is entering the record
- Branch is defaulted based on the service rep's current hierarchy
- Worker Comp is defaulted based on the option selected on the branch setup
- Sales Team defaults based on the service representative information in Administration
