PEO & Payroll

PEO and Payroll firms have two levels of customers, the business owner as the client and the client’s employees.  Because some firms have direct contact with both levels, taking care both is the key to the following client retention and satisfaction program:

  • Hand-signed Thank You card upon initial contract signing by client with a referral reward
  • 90-day check in short telephone survey to the client to see if their initial experience has been positive and uncover any problems quickly
  • Short employee PEO or Payroll survey (phone, mailed, web) after initial enrollment in payroll and/or benefits
  • Comprehensive client satisfaction survey performed one month before renewal opportunity (phone, mailed, web) – survey preceded by one-week with a custom card or letter announcing the survey
  • Short client telephone survey after a merger to newly acquired client base
  • Hand-signed client Thank You for Your Renewal card or letter, possibly citing some of the improvements planned as a result of the survey along with a referral reward
  • Hand-signed client and/or employee Holiday card (Thanksgiving, Winter Holidays) just to say you appreciate them

 

Staffing

Whether your firm makes a single placement to a small client or ongoing placements throughout the year to larger clients, Telcare recommends the following client retention/satisfaction program:
