Coordinate service questions during a site move

Customers often tell a Customer Success Manager about a move after facilities has already selected a date. The manager can still create value by organizing the information needed for service teams: address, access contact, floor plan status, equipment, operating date, and customer owners. This protects the customer from a vague handoff.

Ask whether the destination has confirmed building access and power, who can approve a site visit, and which business function will open first. Ask what should happen to service at the old site and who owns that decision. These questions make it easier to distinguish a customer goal from a completed request.

“We are moving our call center in six weeks,” says Tessa, the sponsor. Malik responds, “Who can confirm the new address, building contact, and first operating day?” Tessa has the address but needs facilities to verify access. Malik says, “Let’s invite facilities and the call center manager for a short review. We can list the facts for the service team and give each open item an owner.” Tessa agrees and schedules the meeting.

Create a move sheet for one account with a column for the source of each detail. During the review, leave uncertain fields visibly blank instead of filling them from memory. Send the notes to the customer for correction, then ask them to confirm the person who will update each missing item. That habit turns a rushed announcement into a workable coordination record.
