What good looks like
A customer concern with the original job context, priority, ownership, coverage decision, corrective work, and documented resolution.
Have these details ready
- Customer, site, and affected equipment
- Original job, quote, invoice, closeout, and warranty context
- The customer's description, current condition, and requested outcome
Run the workflow
-
Acknowledge and make safe
Capture the customer's exact concern and assess active damage, health, safety, or loss-of-service risk. Give only approved immediate instructions.
-
Find the original work
Search the customer, site, equipment, job, invoice, photos, checklist, and prior messages. Link the new service request to the original record.
-
Triage without promising coverage
Set priority and assign a qualified reviewer. Explain that warranty or callback responsibility will be confirmed after inspection unless policy clearly decides it.
-
Schedule diagnostic work
Create the follow-up job or appointment with the original scope, complaint, access, evidence required, and billing disposition marked pending when appropriate.
-
Record cause and resolution
Document findings, cause category, corrective work, parts/labor, customer communication, and whether the issue was warranty, workmanship, unrelated, or maintenance.
-
Close the feedback loop
Confirm the customer outcome, update equipment/job history, and assign coaching, vendor claim, process correction, or review follow-up when needed.
Check your work
Do not call the workflow complete until these statements are true.
- The concern links to the original work
- Coverage decision is evidence-based and visible
- Corrective action and customer outcome are documented
If something does not look right
The original job cannot be found
Search by address, phone, equipment, invoice, and date; create the request now but assign record-link follow-up.
The customer disputes the coverage decision
Escalate with the quote, warranty terms, closeout proof, findings, and communication history intact.
