Trailmark

Hand every account to CS with nothing left half done.

Implementation sees which setup steps are finished, which are stuck, and whose side each one is waiting on before the handoff.

Where it fits best

Trailmark helps most when setup takes more than one call and part of it happens on the customer’s side.

  3. 03A FORMAL HANDOFF TO CSHAND OFF ON FACTS

Where implementation usually breaks

  1. STEPS WAIT ON THE CUSTOMER

    Half of setup sits with the customer's IT team, and nobody tracks how long it has been waiting.

  2. THE HANDOFF HAPPENS ON A DATE

    Accounts move to CS because the project plan says so, not because setup is finished.

  3. THE PLAN LIVES IN FIVE PLACES

    Tasks, emails and a tracker sheet each hold part of the truth.

From signup to set up

How an implementation team usually runs Trailmark in its first month.

  1. 1. LIST YOUR SETUP MILESTONES

    Everything that has to be true before CS takes over: access, data, the first report.

  2. 2. MARK WHO OWNS EACH STEP

    Your side or the customer's. Customer-side steps are where the waiting hides.

  3. 3. SET LIMITS FOR WAITING STEPS

    A hold on a customer-side step is your cue to chase their IT lead, not your own team.

  4. 4. HAND OFF WHEN THE CARD IS CLEAR

    CS gets an account with every setup line checked and a note on anything unusual.
