Notes:
Had thoughts after Tuesdays marketing discussion regarding the projects process – I am thinking we might create a "thank you – love you" swag/wow kit that we can trigger Marketing (Jordan/me) after a project closes and is signed off – that exceeds a threshold of $$$, lets say $5000+ projects, once closed and signed off, we send them a thank you/love you wow kit. I expressed this to Mark and we discussed today. It was a productive discussion. I'm going to work with Jordan to come up with some concepts, edges, etc.

Finish your process documentation for sign off template.
Worked on a couple times this week – chip away more today.
Chipped off – need to review and need to update based on some of this follow up process.
No face to face close out call – so a heads up they should expect a sign off link
We might want a marketing follow up – swag/gear – love you package sent over for larger projects – need to determine a threshold.
Communication to clients on the Signs offs and Surveys.
Workflow/Automation Discussion – People are simply not signing off – Need to get this to be more aggressive.
He has tried to re-open a task to trigger another email automation and that isn’t viable. – he got this to work – to regenerate the survey.
Suggested he call them – there are at least 5 unique projects not signed off. – He going to email them with the link and ask them to complete it. Follow up with phone call if they don’t after a couple days.
Might need vCIO/Chris to address it in person/at shore up meetings.
How are we going to measure these KPIs and feedback going forward?
Mark has roused a bunch to get signed off. A few more are now done. More touches still needed.
