Provide job status updates when the customer wants them
Keeping customers updated on the status of their jobs is vital. If you don't, customers are left wondering when the engineer will arrive and will call the office for updates. These calls waste your staff's time and deliver a poor customer experience, which will stop people from returning to you for repeat business.
To make it easy for customers to get information on the status of their jobs, you can use enterprise customer portal software. By giving them access to a customer portal where they can request jobs and see the status of logged jobs, they have all the information they need at their fingertips, allowing you to give them a customer experience that will bring them back to you for repeat business.
