    SayPro Scope of Work: Escalation and Issue Resolution

    SayPro Monthly January SCMR-5 SayPro Monthly Classified Support Tickets: Implement a support ticket system for user inquiries by SayPro Classified Office under SayPro Marketing Royalty SCMR

    Purpose:

    The Escalation and Issue Resolution process outlined in the SayPro Monthly January SCMR-5 aims to define clear protocols for the timely and efficient resolution of support tickets related to user inquiries. By implementing a structured escalation process, we ensure that issues are addressed based on their priority and severity, resulting in faster resolution times, improved user satisfaction, and the overall optimization of the support ticket system. The goal is to maintain high service levels and minimize delays in addressing user concerns.

    This section will establish targets and procedures for how quickly support tickets should be resolved, as well as a clear escalation process based on issue priority.

    1. Executive Summary

    • Objective: Develop a robust escalation and issue resolution system for handling support tickets, ensuring that user inquiries are addressed promptly and according to their priority.
    • Focus Areas:
      • Defining ticket priority levels.
      • Setting clear resolution targets for each priority level.
      • Implementing an effective escalation path for unresolved or high-impact issues.
      • Improving customer satisfaction by providing timely and efficient solutions.
    • Scope: This process applies to all support tickets submitted through the SayPro Monthly Classified Support Ticket System under SayPro Marketing Royalty SCMR.

    2. Ticket Prioritization and Categorization

    In order to ensure that tickets are resolved efficiently, we will categorize them based on their urgency and impact. These categories will determine the resolution timeline and escalation process.

    A. Priority Levels

    Tickets will be categorized into four priority levels based on the severity and impact of the issue reported by the user.

    • High Priority (Critical Issues):
      • Description: Issues that prevent users from accessing key site features or functionalities (e.g., login errors, payment gateway failures, site crashes).
      • Resolution Target: These tickets must be resolved within 24 hours from the time of submission.
      • Escalation: If not resolved within the target time, the issue will be automatically escalated to senior support staff or the technical team.
    • Medium Priority (Major Issues):
      • Description: Issues that affect user experience but do not prevent access to key features (e.g., broken links, errors in minor features, intermittent slow page loads).
      • Resolution Target: These tickets should be resolved within 48 hours.
      • Escalation: If unresolved within the target time, the ticket will be escalated to a higher-tier support agent.
    • Low Priority (Minor Issues):
      • Description: Non-critical issues that do not significantly affect the user experience (e.g., spelling errors, minor layout issues, cosmetic problems).
      • Resolution Target: These tickets should be resolved within 72 hours.
      • Escalation: These tickets are typically not escalated unless they are repeatedly reported by users or involve multiple site sections.
    • Informational (General Inquiries):
      • Description: General inquiries that do not require immediate resolution (e.g., requests for more information, product or service inquiries).
      • Resolution Target: These tickets should be answered within 5 business days.
      • Escalation: These tickets are typically not escalated unless they are urgent inquiries or related to time-sensitive events.

    3. Issue Resolution Process

    Once a ticket is created, the following resolution process will be followed to ensure that it is addressed promptly:

    A. Acknowledgment and Initial Response

    • Target: Acknowledge all tickets within 4 hours of submission.
    • The system will automatically send an acknowledgment email to the user, confirming that their ticket has been received.
    • The support team will review the ticket and categorize it based on the predefined priority levels.

    B. Resolution Workflow

    • High Priority: Immediate attention is required. A support agent will begin working on the issue within 1 hour of ticket creation.
    • Medium Priority: Assigned to an agent within 4 hours, with a focus on resolving the issue within 48 hours.
    • Low Priority and Informational: Assigned within 1 business day, with the resolution to follow within the stated time frame (72 hours for low-priority and 5 days for informational inquiries).

    C. Communication and Updates

    • Agents will provide periodic updates to users about the status of their ticket, especially if the resolution process is taking longer than expected.
    • High Priority: Daily updates until resolved.
    • Medium Priority: Updates every 48 hours until resolved.
    • Low Priority: Updates only if the issue cannot be resolved within the specified 72 hours.
    • Informational: One update confirming the completion or providing more information, within 5 business days.

    D. Final Resolution and Confirmation

    • Once a ticket is resolved, the user will be notified via email or through the support portal.
    • The agent will request confirmation from the user that the issue has been fully resolved and that the solution meets their expectations.
    • If the user confirms, the ticket will be closed.
    • If the user is unsatisfied, the issue will be reopened and escalated.

    4. Escalation Process

    For tickets that cannot be resolved within the specified time frame or are particularly complex, an escalation process will ensure they receive the necessary attention from higher-tier support or technical teams.

    A. Escalation Triggers

    • High Priority Issues: If unresolved within 24 hours, these issues will be automatically escalated to the senior support or technical team.
    • Medium Priority Issues: If unresolved within 48 hours, these issues will be escalated to a team lead or manager for review.
    • Low Priority Issues: If unresolved within 72 hours, these issues will be reviewed by a supervisor to determine whether the resolution timeline should be extended or whether additional resources are needed.

    B. Escalation Workflow

    • Tier 1 (Initial Support): The initial support agent reviews and attempts to resolve the issue. If they are unable to resolve it within the target timeframe, the issue is escalated to Tier 2.
    • Tier 2 (Senior Support or Manager): These agents have more experience and resources to handle complex issues. If Tier 2 is unable to resolve the issue within the extended timeframe, it escalates to Tier 3.
    • Tier 3 (Technical Team or Subject Matter Expert): These are highly specialized agents or the technical team who will resolve the most challenging issues, such as those involving deep system bugs, configuration issues, or integration problems.

    5. Monitoring and Reporting

    To ensure that the escalation and issue resolution process is being adhered to, regular monitoring and reporting will be implemented.

    A. Performance Metrics

    • Ticket Resolution Time: Measure the average time taken to resolve tickets by priority level.
    • Escalation Rate: Track the percentage of tickets that are escalated to higher-tier support.
    • Customer Satisfaction: Use a post-resolution survey to measure user satisfaction with the resolution process and final outcome.
    • Ticket Backlog: Monitor the number of unresolved tickets in the system and address any delays proactively.

    B. Weekly and Monthly Reports

    • Support managers will review ticket resolution data on a weekly basis, ensuring that the targets are being met and identifying areas for improvement.
    • Monthly performance reviews will be conducted, including a detailed analysis of ticket response times, escalations, and customer feedback.

    6. Continuous Improvement

    • Regularly review the escalation process to identify any bottlenecks or inefficiencies.
    • Based on user feedback and ticket trends, refine the issue resolution process, providing additional training or resources to support agents as needed.
    • Use analytics to predict potential issues and proactively address them before they escalate into more serious problems.

    Conclusion

    The Escalation and Issue Resolution process ensures that all support tickets are handled effectively, with a clear framework for prioritization, resolution, and escalation. By adhering to these procedures, SayPro Classified will provide timely and effective support, leading to higher user satisfaction and system reliability. Continuous monitoring and feedback will further enhance the support experience and help optimize the process over time.

The follow-up system ensures that every ticket is actively managed and that users receive timely updates on the status of their issues. By doing so, SayPro aims to improve customer service, enhance user experience, and maintain a high level of trust and satisfaction.

    2. Ticket Resolution Workflow

    A. Ticket Creation and Submission

    • User Inquiry Submission:
      • Users can submit a support ticket via an online form, email, or directly through the website’s support page.
      • The ticket will capture essential information such as:
        • User name and contact details
        • Issue description
        • Category of issue (e.g., technical, account-related, billing, etc.)
        • Priority level (low, medium, high)
        • Attachment option (for relevant screenshots or documents)
    • Automated Acknowledgment:
      • Upon submission, users will receive an automated acknowledgment email confirming receipt of their ticket.
      • The email will include a unique Ticket ID for reference and an estimated response time.

    B. Ticket Categorization and Assignment

    • Categorization:
      • Support tickets will be automatically categorized into different categories (e.g., account, payment, technical support) based on the user’s selected issue category or through intelligent ticket routing.
    • Assignment:
      • Tickets will be assigned to relevant team members based on the category and expertise required.
      • A priority level will be assigned based on urgency (high priority for critical issues, low priority for minor inquiries).

    C. Initial Response and Resolution

    • Response Time:
      • Aim to respond to high-priority tickets within 1-2 hours and low-priority tickets within 24 hours.
    • Action:
      • The assigned support representative will review the ticket, investigate the issue, and provide a response or solution.
      • If the issue can be resolved quickly (e.g., a common issue), the representative will close the ticket after resolution.
      • If the issue requires further investigation or escalation, the representative will update the user about the status and provide an estimated resolution time.

    D. Follow-Up Process

    • Follow-Up System:
      • A critical component of the resolution process, follow-up ensures that every user is kept in the loop until their ticket is resolved.
      • After the initial response, a Follow-Up Ticket Schedule will be implemented, which outlines the steps for checking in with the user at regular intervals until the issue is resolved.
      • Automatic Follow-Up Reminders: The ticket system will send reminders to the support representative to follow up with users if no updates are provided within the set timeframe.

    E. User Communication and Updates

    • Regular Updates:
      • Support representatives will send regular updates to the user regarding the progress of their ticket, especially if the resolution is taking longer than expected.
      • Updates will be clear, transparent, and specific, allowing users to understand where the issue stands and what the next steps are.
    • Communication Channels:
      • Communication will take place through the support ticket system, email, and (if necessary) via phone or chat to expedite issue resolution.

    F. Ticket Closure and Confirmation

    • Resolution:
      • Once the issue is resolved, the support team member will ensure the solution is fully implemented and the user’s problem is addressed.
      • The user will receive a final confirmation message with a request to confirm the resolution of the issue.
    • Closure:
      • If the user confirms the resolution, the ticket will be marked as closed.
      • If the user is not satisfied, the issue will be escalated to a higher support tier or the user will be offered additional assistance.
      • A customer satisfaction survey will be sent after ticket closure to gather feedback and ensure the quality of support.

    3. Follow-Up System Implementation

    The Follow-Up System will be a core part of ensuring that every ticket is monitored and resolved effectively. This system will consist of the following steps:

    A. Follow-Up Ticket Creation

    • Once a ticket is assigned, a Follow-Up Ticket will be created automatically for the assigned representative.
    • Follow-up tickets will be based on priority and the estimated resolution time.

    B. Timely Follow-Up Alerts

    • Automated Alerts will be sent to team members as reminders to follow up with users. The system will trigger these alerts at predetermined intervals (e.g., 24 hours, 48 hours, etc.).
    • These alerts will also notify managers or supervisors in case follow-ups are delayed or unresolved within the specified timeframe.

    C. Regular Updates to the User

    • The follow-up process will include regularly updating users about the status of their ticket. Updates may include:
      • A brief message stating the current progress of the ticket resolution.
      • A request for any additional information needed from the user.
      • Notification of delays, with an explanation and a revised estimated resolution time.

    D. Escalation Process

    • If the ticket remains unresolved after the set follow-up intervals, it will be escalated to a senior support agent or the manager for higher-level intervention.
    • Escalation can occur when:
      • The issue is deemed more complex than initially thought.
      • The initial support agent is unable to provide a solution within the agreed time.
      • The user expresses dissatisfaction or frustration after multiple attempts to resolve the issue.

    E. Close-Out Follow-Up

    2. Ticket Resolution Process Overview

    The Ticket Resolution Process consists of several stages, from ticket creation and assignment to resolution and reporting. Below is a breakdown of the key steps in the process.

    A. Ticket Generation

    • Source of Tickets: Support tickets can be generated through various channels, including:
      • Email (e.g., users send an email to a designated support address).
      • Webform (users submit a ticket via a contact form on the website).
      • Live Chat (tickets are generated automatically when a user requests support via live chat).
      • Phone Calls (support agents manually enter tickets during phone interactions).
    • Ticket Information: The ticket should capture essential details such as:
      • User Information: Name, email, and any relevant account or product identifiers.
      • Issue Type: Categorized as technical support, account-related, feature request, etc.
      • Description of the Issue: A detailed description of the user’s inquiry or problem.
      • Priority Level: Based on the urgency and impact of the issue (e.g., High, Medium, Low).
      • Attachments: Any supporting documents, screenshots, or logs provided by the user.

    B. Ticket Categorization

    • Ticket Types: Once the ticket is generated, it should be categorized into relevant groups, such as:
      • Technical Issues: Problems related to the website’s functionality, broken links, or bugs.
      • Account Support: Issues regarding user accounts, password recovery, or permissions.
      • Feature Requests: Suggestions for new features or improvements.
      • Billing and Payments: Questions about subscription plans, payments, and invoices.
    • Automation of Categorization: An automated system should be employed to categorize tickets based on keywords or predefined rules. This helps in streamlining the process and ensuring that tickets are routed to the correct department.

    C. Ticket Assignment

    • Automated Assignment Based on Expertise:
      • Objective: The primary goal is to automatically assign the ticket to the team member best equipped to handle it, based on their area of expertise.
      • Process:
        • Predefined Rules: Create rules to route tickets based on categories, keywords, or issue types. For example:
          • Technical Issues might be assigned to developers or technical support staff.
          • Account Issues might be assigned to customer service representatives or account managers.
          • Feature Requests might go to the product development or product management team.
        • Skills-based Routing: Implement a system where each team member’s skills and expertise are tagged in the support ticket system. This ensures that the most qualified person receives the ticket.
        • Workload Balancing: Automatically balance the workload by considering the current number of open tickets for each team member. If someone is overloaded, the system will route the ticket to another team member with capacity.
        • Escalation Rules: If a ticket is not addressed within a certain timeframe or if it’s marked as urgent, it should be escalated to a higher-level support agent or manager.
    • Ticket Assignment Notification: Team members will receive automatic notifications when a ticket is assigned to them, either through email or an internal system alert.

    D. Ticket Resolution

    • Issue Diagnosis: The assigned team member will review the ticket, diagnose the problem, and attempt to resolve it based on their expertise.
    • Collaboration: If the issue requires assistance from other team members (e.g., technical staff collaborating with customer service), the system should allow for easy internal collaboration and ticket sharing.
    • Response to User: Once the issue is resolved or further information is required, the team member will respond to the user through the support ticket system, keeping all communication within the ticket for transparency.
    • Resolution Documentation: The team member should document the solution or steps taken in the ticket for future reference. This documentation can also help build a knowledge base of frequently asked questions or common issues.

    E. Ticket Closure

    • Ticket Closure Criteria: A ticket is closed once the user’s issue is resolved and the user has acknowledged that the solution is satisfactory.
    • User Confirmation: Before closure, the support team may ask the user to confirm that the issue has been resolved to their satisfaction. If the user does not respond within a certain period, the ticket may be automatically closed, or a follow-up reminder can be sent.
    • Closing Notes: When closing the ticket, the support agent should include any relevant notes, such as troubleshooting steps or information that might be useful for future reference.

    3. Reporting and Analytics

    • Ticket Tracking: A dashboard will be used to track all open, pending, and closed tickets. This will give the management team visibility into the number of active support tickets, their status, and any trends related to common issues.
    • Performance Metrics: Key performance indicators (KPIs) will be tracked to measure the efficiency of the ticket resolution process:
      • Average Resolution Time: The average time it takes to resolve a ticket.
      • Ticket Backlog: The number of unresolved tickets at any given time.
      • Customer Satisfaction Score: A post-resolution survey can be sent to users to gather feedback on their satisfaction with the support process.
    • Escalation Tracking: The number of tickets escalated to higher levels of support or management can be tracked to identify potential bottlenecks or areas requiring additional resources.
    • Team Performance Reports: Reports showing how many tickets each team member has handled, the time it took to resolve them, and any feedback from users.

    2. Ticket Priority Levels

    The following ticket priority levels will be used to categorize all support tickets:

    1. Urgent:
      • Definition: These are tickets that involve issues severely affecting the core functionality of the site, causing significant disruptions to user experience or critical business operations.
      • Examples:
        • Site downtime or major outages.
        • Payment gateway errors preventing transactions.
        • Security vulnerabilities or breaches.
        • Severe bugs or errors that prevent users from completing essential actions (e.g., submitting ads, logging in).
      • Resolution Timeframe: Immediate attention (response time within 1 hour), with resolution targeted within 4 hours or as soon as possible.
    2. Normal Priority:
      • Definition: These tickets involve issues or inquiries that are important but do not disrupt major functions of the site or business operations. They require attention, but they can be resolved within a reasonable timeframe without causing significant impact.
      • Examples:
        • Site layout issues that don’t affect navigation or functionality (e.g., text alignment problems, minor styling inconsistencies).
        • Non-critical bugs that affect user experience but don’t prevent essential functions.

      • Resolution Timeframe: Response time within 24 hours, with resolution targeted within 2-3 business days.
    3. Low Priority:
      • Definition: These tickets are generally low-impact and do not immediately affect users’ ability to interact with the site. They may be related to minor improvements or non-urgent inquiries that can be addressed at a later time.
      • Examples:
        • Feature requests or suggestions for future enhancements.
        • Cosmetic issues with minimal user impact (e.g., minor visual or text alignment errors).
        • Questions about functionality that don’t affect immediate use or business operations.
      • Resolution Timeframe: Response time within 3 business days, with resolution targeted within 1 week or as determined by project timelines.

    3. Ticket Categorization Process

    To ensure tickets are prioritized accurately, each ticket will undergo the following categorization process:

    1. Ticket Submission
      • Users will submit support tickets through the SayPro Support Ticket System, where they can describe the issue, provide necessary screenshots or error messages, and choose a general category (e.g., bug, inquiry, request).
    2. Initial Review
      • A support team member will review the submitted ticket to assess its impact, urgency, and the level of support needed.
      • Based on the initial review, the support team member will assign a priority level (urgent, normal, or low priority) and mark the ticket accordingly.
    3. Ticket Assignment
      • After priority is determined, tickets will be assigned to the appropriate support team member or department based on the issue type:
        • Technical issues (e.g., bugs, site outages) will be assigned to the technical support team.
        • Content-related inquiries (e.g., updates, formatting) will be assigned to the content team.
        • General inquiries and requests (e.g., feature suggestions, account issues) will be handled by the customer support team.
    4. Ticket Resolution
      • The assigned support team member will work to resolve the issue based on its priority level, focusing on urgent issues first.
      • The resolution process will involve communicating with the user to provide updates, requesting additional information if necessary, and taking corrective actions to resolve the issue.
      • Once the issue is resolved, the user will be notified, and the ticket will be closed.

    4. Prioritization Criteria

    To guide the assignment of priority levels, the following criteria will be used:

    • Impact on User Experience: How critical is the issue to the user’s ability to navigate the site or complete key actions?
      • Urgent: Major impact, preventing the user from using the site effectively.
      • Normal: Moderate impact, hindering user experience but not blocking critical actions.
      • Low: Minor impact, does not affect the core experience.
    • Business Impact: How does the issue affect the site’s business operations and revenue generation?
      • Urgent: Immediate revenue loss or operational halt.
      • Normal: No direct revenue impact but may delay business processes.
      • Low: No direct impact on business operations.
    • Severity of the Issue: How severe is the issue in terms of user frustration or site stability?
      • Urgent: Critical site functionality failure (e.g., login issues, payment failures).
      • Normal: Issues that degrade user experience but don’t break key functions.
      • Low: Minor issues that are non-intrusive or cosmetic.
    • Reproducibility: Can the issue be easily reproduced and fixed? Or is it a one-time occurrence?
      • Urgent: Issue is critical and can be reproduced across all devices or browsers.
      • Normal: Issue can be reproduced intermittently or in specific conditions.
      • Low: Issue is difficult to reproduce or affects only a very small subset of users.

    5. Workflow and Communication Process

    Once tickets are prioritized, the following workflow will be followed:

    1. Ticket Acknowledgement:
      • Acknowledgement is sent to the user immediately, confirming that the ticket has been received and is being reviewed.
      • For urgent tickets, acknowledgment will be sent within 1 hour; for normal and low-priority tickets, acknowledgment will be sent within 24 hours.
    2. Regular Updates:
      • Users will receive regular updates on the progress of their tickets based on the priority level.
      • For urgent tickets, updates will be provided every 2 hours until the issue is resolved.
      • For normal tickets, updates will be provided at least once a day.
      • For low-priority tickets, updates will be provided weekly or as needed.
    3. Escalation Process:
      • If a ticket is not resolved within the specified resolution timeframe, it will be escalated to a higher support level or management to ensure it is addressed in a timely manner.
      • Escalation Criteria: Unresolved urgent tickets after 4 hours, unresolved normal tickets after 3 business days, unresolved low-priority tickets after 7 business days.
    4. Ticket Closure and Feedback:
      • Once the issue is resolved, the ticket will be closed and the user will be notified.
      • Users will be asked to provide feedback on the resolution process and if the issue has been effectively resolved.

    6. Reporting and Monitoring

    The SayPro Classified Office will track ticket resolution times, customer satisfaction, and support team performance using ticketing system analytics.

    • Monthly Reports:
      • A report will be generated detailing the total number of tickets, the average resolution time, the number of urgent tickets resolved on time, and customer feedback ratings.
      • This report will be reviewed by the marketing team and management to identify areas for improvement.
    • Performance Metrics:
      • Ticket Resolution Rate: Percentage of tickets resolved within the specified timeframe.
      • Customer Satisfaction Score: Based on feedback received after ticket closure.
      • First Response Time: Average time it takes to respond to a support ticket.
