Lauren Pilkington says use is spreading from consultants to finance and that complaint visibility is the big gain. One ticket, caused by a renamed CRM field. She asked about open roles by sector and wants more of the team on it.

What happened: Marcus Bell ran a routine check-in on usage and support. Lauren Pilkington was positive and raised a new question on open roles by client sector.

Customer view: Lauren says people use it before client calls and for seeing complaints. She called complaint visibility the big thing for her.

Commercial: Marcus said the contract runs to the end of April next year. Lauren would run it past Stuart and can tell him the consultants are using it.

Watch: Adoption is still a small group out of fifteen seats, and some staff have never logged in. A renamed CRM field broke a connector mapping, so field changes need a heads up to BB-Demo.

Next steps

Current to 9 Oct 26
  • Lauren Pilkington to check whether sector is a CRM field and tell Marcus Bell.
  • Lauren to ask Joe about a thirty-minute team session.
  • Marcus to send session times by email and keep watching the usage numbers.

Risks

Current to 9 Oct 26
  • Many of the fifteen seats are unused, and some people have never logged in.
  • Renamed CRM fields can break connector mappings without warning.

Opportunities

Current to 9 Oct 26
  • A sector page for open roles could replace the consultants' spreadsheet if sector is a CRM field.
  • A peer-led session could bring more consultants onto the brain.

Transcript

  1. Lauren Pilkington

    Morning Marcus! Quick one before we start, one of the consultants asked me yesterday whether the brain can show open roles by client sector. Can it?
  2. Marcus Bell
    Marcus Bell None
    Morning Lauren. Good question, I'll come back to that in a minute, I've made a note. Let me share my screen first and say what I want to cover. I've pulled the numbers on usage, and then I'd like to hear what's working and what isn't.
  3. Lauren Pilkington
    Lauren Pilkington None
    Go for it. I've got a coffee and about half an hour.
  4. Marcus Bell
    Marcus Bell None
    Perfect. So, can you see the usage page?
  5. Lauren Pilkington
    Lauren Pilkington None
    Yep, I can see it.
  6. Marcus Bell
    Marcus Bell None
    So the headline is that the number of people using it each month has gone up a fair bit compared with the previous quarter. It's still a small group out of the fifteen seats you've got, but it's moving the right way, and I'm pleased about that.
  7. Lauren Pilkington
    Lauren Pilkington None
    That's the consultants. Two of the finance team started using it after Joe showed them how he looks up a client before a call. Then it kind of spread.
  8. Marcus Bell
    Marcus Bell None
    That's exactly what I'd hoped. Is that the kind of thing you're hearing, that people are using it before calls?
  9. Lauren Pilkington
    Lauren Pilkington None
    Mostly, yeah. And for complaints. Before, if a client had moaned to someone else in the office, the next consultant would ring up and have no idea. Now they can see it. Honestly that's been the big thing for me.
  10. Marcus Bell
    Marcus Bell None
    Good. That's what you bought it for, so it's nice to hear it's landing. Okay, second thing. There's been one support ticket this last month. Do you remember it?
  11. Lauren Pilkington
    Lauren Pilkington None
    Oh, that was mine, I think. Was it the one about a role that wasn't showing up?
  12. Marcus Bell
    Marcus Bell None
    That's the one. It was answered the same day and the cause was a field in the CRM that had been renamed. It's sorted now, but if anyone changes fields in the CRM it's worth giving us a heads up.
  13. Lauren Pilkington
    Lauren Pilkington None
    Right, that'll have been me tidying up. Sorry. I'll tell you next time I touch it.
  14. Marcus Bell
    Marcus Bell None
    No need to apologise at all, it's an easy one to miss. Just a quick message and we'll check the connector still maps.
  15. Lauren Pilkington
    Lauren Pilkington None
    Will do. So, go on, the sector thing. Can the consultants see that?
  16. Marcus Bell
    Marcus Bell None
    Right. It depends whether sector is a field in your CRM. If it is, then yes, you can filter by it in search, and Nadia as admin could set up a page for it. If it isn't, then it's a data job for your side first. I can look into which it is, if you like.
  17. Lauren Pilkington
    Lauren Pilkington None
    I think it is, actually, we use it for the mailshots. I'll check and tell you.
  18. Marcus Bell
    Marcus Bell None
    Great. If it's there, I'll happily jump on a call with Nadia and set the page up with her.
  19. Lauren Pilkington
    Lauren Pilkington None
    That'd save us hours. Because at the moment they're doing it from a spreadsheet, which gets out of date the minute you save it.
  20. Marcus Bell
    Marcus Bell None
    Understood. One more thing from me, and then it's yours. Your contract runs to the end of April next year, so we've got a good while. I just want us to keep looking at usage together so that when it comes round, it's obvious what you're getting out of it.
  21. Lauren Pilkington
    Lauren Pilkington None
    That's fine. I'd have to run it past Stuart at some point, but I can tell him what I've told you, that the consultants are actually using it.
  22. Marcus Bell
    Marcus Bell None
    That's all I'd need. Anything on your side, anything not working or anything you'd want changed?
  23. Lauren Pilkington
    Lauren Pilkington None
    Not really. I'd like more of the team on it, obviously. We've got people who've not logged in once.
  24. Marcus Bell
    Marcus Bell None
    Okay, how about a short session for them? Thirty minutes, one of your consultants shows it on a live client, and I'll be on hand for questions. It tends to land better coming from a colleague than from us.
  25. Lauren Pilkington
    Lauren Pilkington None
    Yes, let's do that. Joe would do it, I think. I'll ask him today.
  26. Marcus Bell
    Marcus Bell None
    Lovely. So, recap. You'll check whether sector is in the CRM. You'll tell us if fields change. And you'll ask Joe about the team session. I'll send a couple of times over by email and keep an eye on the numbers.
  27. Lauren Pilkington
    Lauren Pilkington None
    Perfect. Thanks Marcus, that's really helpful.
  28. Marcus Bell
    Marcus Bell None
    Thanks Lauren. Speak soon, and have a good week.
  29. Lauren Pilkington
    Lauren Pilkington None
    You too. Bye for now.
