When to use it

Straight after each customer call

Step by step

  1. Jot notes during the call

    Type quick notes as you talk, in any order. Don't worry about grammar. Leave out card numbers, passwords and full addresses.

  2. Save a tidy-up prompt

    Keep this prompt in your notes app so you can paste it in seconds.

    Prompt to copyI'm a customer service rep. Turn these rough call notes into a case record: [paste notes]. Use these fields: Reason for contact, Product or service, What the customer told us, What I checked, What I did, What the customer agreed to, Next step and owner, Follow-up date, Customer mood (calm, frustrated, upset). Keep each field to one or two lines. Write 'Not recorded' if something isn't in my notes. Don't add details that aren't there.
  3. Paste the record where it belongs

    Copy the result into your case system, or add it as a row in a shared Google Sheet if your team tracks cases that way.

  4. Check the next step is clear

    Before you move on, make sure the next step has a person and a date. If it doesn't, add one.

What you get

Reason: Delivery marked complete but not received. What I checked: courier tracking shows left at side door. What I did: raised a trace with the courier. Next step: courier reply (me), follow-up 15 Nov. Mood: frustrated.
