<p>Due to an urgent work-related situation, our speaker that was scheduled to present on Service Catalogs tomorrow needs to reschedule.  We are planning to reschedule Service Catalogs at our June meeting so we are moving the June topic on customer satisfaction to tomorrow.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and we hope you are able to join us at Great River Energy in Maple Grove at 2:00!</p>
<p><strong>Customer Satisfaction:  a continual process, not just a one-time activity.</strong></p>
<p>Customer feedback is important at Infinite Campus. How they perform as a service organization is extremely important as they continually strive to deliver exceptional service to their customers. In February 2011, Infinite Campus implemented a customer satisfaction tool to gather feedback on the services provided to customers when they contact Support. Their goal is to have 95% customer satisfaction, and they are proud to report that they are currently meeting their goal.  Measuring customer satisfaction is a continuous process at Infinite Campus. Customers have the opportunity to rate their level of satisfaction on five categories: courtesy, knowledge, timeliness, quality and overall service. All closed Campus Support cases generate a survey via e-mail. However, they are mindful not to inundate their customers with too many surveys. Each customer will receive a maximum of one survey every 30 days.</p>
<p>Join us on Wednesday, April 18 at 2:00 as Gina Montague (<em>Support Services Manager at Infinite Campus &amp; the HDI MN Chapter President</em>) explains how they implemented HDI’s Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) over a year ago.  She will talk about how easy it was to implement the CSI tool, demo the product to give you a sneak peek on what it has to offer, explain processes created to monitor feedback that they use for coaching &amp; kudos, and share reports that were created for the different audiences.</p>
