Now, more than ever, your customers need to feel taken care of. One proven way to achieve this is by using a ticketing system which allows your customers to easily submit requests at any time. By setting up automatic responses and alerting the right people on your team, you can streamline these efforts and give your customers the high level of service they deserve. Simply put, a ticket management system is a solution to help organize your incoming requests and issues. When integrated with a CRM, your team has a centralized location, so they can better manage, organize, and streamline your customer service efforts.

Benefits of setting up a ticketing system include:

Increased organization and efficiency of your support requests
Ability to assign and notify specific team members based on the type of ticket submitted
Customize the form with design, information collected, and post submission automation
The ability to include up to three files per submission or ticket update
Directly add important ticket updates directly into your Wiki knowledge base
Integrate the form into any external site, website tab, or share a direct link
Create new tickets by sending an email to your custom ticket email address
Add professionalism to your customer service requests with quick responses, consistent communication, and customized messages
Automate follow-ups and other communication and process

When managing a remote workforce, the ticket management system enables your team to properly manage and monitor incoming requests. With all of your ticket requests stored in a central location, your support agents can work directly with clients, keep track of customer history, and manage their assigned tickets from one place in the system. Being directly built into GreenRope enables your team to view updates from the ticketing page or inside the contact’s CRM record.

How setting up your ticketing system helps manage your remote employees:

They do not have to be in the office to use the ticketing system
They can access the data from anywhere in the world where they have a secure wifi connection

An effective ticketing system streamlines your support efforts, updates the contact records, and personalizes the customer experience. When designing your own professional ticketing system, here’s some best practices to help get you started.
