Self-Service Good Practices (Ask, don’t Tell!)

Ask don’t tell….
Don’t TELL them to categorize the request to make it easier for YOU.
ASK them to describe THEIR problem.

- Could be an Exchange / Lotus or Outlook / Notes Issue

-Could be the user just doesn’t know!

Is the Error Number one of the following: [5006 / 100 / 675 / NO]

10
Don’t TELL them to Prioritize based on YOUR matrix.
ASK them to tell you who it IMPACTS and how badly it impacts THEM.
PRIORITY
Critical – Only select this option if you are physically unable to function and it affects over 30 people
High – Only select this option if it affects others besides yourself and is a hindrance but tolerable
Medium – This should be the default option selected
Low – This option should be used for requests that can be fulfilled at any time
TIP: Leverage the Impact + Urgency = Priority Matrix
But do it on the back end……….

Don’t TELL them to Prioritize based on YOUR matrix.
ASK them to tell you who it IMPACTS and how badly it impacts THEM.
HOW CRITICAL IS THE PROBLEM
Only Affects Me – Can’t Work
Only Affects Me – Just Annoying
Affects Everyone – Can’t Work
Affects Everyone – Just Annoying
TIP: Leverage the Impact + Urgency = Priority Matrix
But do it on the back end……….
