• Callbacks after speaking with clients
• Following up with customers on documentation/signings

–This allows triage agents to also handle inbound calls during pilot

–Referral volume for triage agents can be adjusted as we determine the best workload balance

–Pilot sales consultants will not receive referrals from lead assigners

–This allows sales consultants to be available for handoffs from triage

• Phone Skilling/Prioritization:

–Triage agents will remain BAU in the phone queues

–If we later decide to increase their priority this can be adjusted as needed

–Pilot sales consultants will be removed from phone queues to avoid inbound calls

• Feedback Sessions:

• Examine the number of referrals triage agents can successfully work in an hour/day to gauge what this might look like if applied across CS

• Adjust pilot as needed to ensure accurate outlook of pilot’s success
• Review overall pilot conversion rate compared to overall conversion rate of CS across the same period of time(as well as confirmed conversion vs overall CS)
