Interview with Erika

Tough admin, used enablement and creativity to make it work Created multiple workspaces for the users for that account Client's issue was didn't want to manage multiple accounts, had no bandwidth Used teaching to help the customer

Needier customers were district contracts Gave her her phone number to client who wanted instant communication Setup regular checkins with these accounts More frequent communication for larger clients Tiered system, small team and each person handled almost 700 accounts Just taking the time explain

Being an AM was her most enjoyable, creative time Tight knit group Constant communication

Project Question: Go to learning library, resources first See what's available first Try to connect with client and asking more questions Align with them, is there a temporary fix Check in with peers and see if anyone else has faced this issue before Is there a bridge to solve this temporarily Being honest and aligning with the customer Offer to pushback

Catalyst for CS with client

Interview with Matt

Works at Proliant The software "leaves a lot to be desired" Doesn't have good developers and it goes offline a few hours each day Service is really good, reps are good But they are always defending product Developers always leave after 3 months, high turn over All payroll companies have a lot of turn over UI/UX isn't great either

Strong relationship with director

If Clients are pissed, how do you respond? Answers with a smile and never talks bad about the product or developers Takes on risk with approvals and 2-day turn around time

Says "I'm going to send you an email by 2pm"

Has an answer to everything, speaks confidently

Account manager @ ADP/Viventium - Dedicated for the contract length Implementation Specialist - just during implementaiton

He would try to get someone's attention on skype or zoom to see if someone is online He would apologize to client and say its after hours Would see what he could do - review implementation guide (500 pages) Support Docs Said his current job is he has to figure it out himself He can't contact his manager for every small request Says he is self sufficient After that would contact Service Support Specialist, or his manager "It's all about giving the client something to make some space"

Questions for me?

One question - what would I say is the biggest challenge? - Punching above our weight class

Interview with Egypt

Meeting at 4:30pm on 7/12/2022 Showed up on time Opened with "I love that you have a sense of humor" and aligned Brought up her mother who taught her how to be better and help more people Ambitious, so went for the best hospital in NJ Was in control of success or failure of nurse candidates "It all comes down to the patient experience" Job was to make sure nothing fell through the cracks for the patients

Now works in corporate and has a steady in-office job

Accountability is so important, would apologize for the issue Ask if they have submitted tickets, if anything has already been done Actionable goals for the client Fall back on the team ** Needs some training on self-resources, google ** Would troubleshoot in the manual Check scope of practice

Was thinking about going to law school She loves helping, which is why she went to healthcare Thinks she is a great facilitator and thrives in the background Found her niche in healthcare Good at communicating

Wants more control of the customer experience

Questions for Me

Wants to know about the software - what tiers do we have available? What sorts of fires do we put out? How many clients do you manage? How have you or what have you learned is the best approach for when a client comes up for renewal? Curious to know about work life balance - am I satisfied? Looking back at the time on Northpass, what would have I told new hire me?

Has been wanting to move towards a CS role for the past year. Feels strongest skills are interpersonal skills and having a knack for working with people. Didn't like cut throat and numbers oriented aspects sales

Clients were surprised when he reached out as they expected the broker and/or BCBS would reach out. Apprehensive clients didn't trust him at first. This all sounds a lot more like Cold Calling

Active listener, delievered on clients needs instead of barging through

Eden is direct to employer concierge provider, 24/7 virtual platform Knowleldge of services

Has been completely remote Remote is perferrable, except for the right opportunity "Not a deal breaker for the right opportunity" Making calls all day in an office "just sucked"
