The call dates in a customer file, if used according to SkilMatch
standards, reflect dates on which you are scheduled to follow-up with a
customer. This option produces a report
named AP702, listing customers. Customers are selected for the report based
on the dates appearing in the last call dates and next call dates from the
customer file.
There are two sets of call dates, Last call 1 and 2, and Next call 1 and 2. Your organization should establish guidelines as to the use of each date.
Examples:
Last Call Date #1 might be
reserved for the use of your sales staff to record the LAST time this customer
was called on for sales purposes.
Next Call Date #1 might be
reserved for the use of your sales staff to record the NEXT time this customer
should be called on for sales purposes.
Last Call Date #2 might be
reserved for the use of your collections staff and actually used as a NEXT call
date to record the NEXT time this customer should be called on for collection
purposes.
Next Call Date #2 might be
reserved for the use of your branch office staff to record the NEXT time this
customer should be mailed an ‘Evaluation of Services’ form.
You may select the company, branch office, sales territory or CSR, date
range of the last call date or next call date, selected activity comments and
the number of copies to print.
You will receive a report sorted first by SR or CSR in cuscode sequence
that includes the cuscode, the customer names 1 and 2, the first contact name
and telephone number, the last call date and the next call date for each
customer, and the location zip code that is selected for the report.
