Advisory Help Desk

The Emerging Businesses Propositions team is set to develop and deliver the Emerging Businesses advisory helpdesk in line with the 2016 Emerging Businesses strategy. The business initiative is targeted at micro, small and medium enterprises and its objective are to provide information to Emerging Businesses. Information provided here includes:

  1. Emerging Businesses newsletters on industry trends
  2. Ideas on best marketing strategy.
  3. Industry-specific information
  4. Guidance on how to structure better cash flows
  5. Counseling on business planning.
  6. Marketing strategy and other business clinic related topics.
Other useful topics would include:
  • How do you register your business?
  • Common legal & tax matters facing Emerging Businesses & quick resolutions
  • Structural challenges of an Emerging Businesses & quick answers?
  • Common corporate governance issues faced by an Emerging Business?

This will be carried out after due one-on-one phone consultations or e-mail exchange with the customer and would typically require the administrators to possess some level of wide industry exposure such as specialized skill set and good knowledge of the marketplace. Sometimes, customers may require further referral to our supporting consultants to diagnose and proffer the right solutions. To this end, we have decided to deliver the advisory helpdesk services via the contact center platform where we would be riding on the existing infrastructures and have calls screened or filtered before being directed to the helpdesk.

For tracking and monitoring purposes, the service desk would require a basic Customer Relationship Management tool where last discussions with a customer would be captured for accessibility in the event of a need for further future discussions with different resource persons. There would also be a need for an automated log-in and tracking of customer complaints until fully resolved, similar to the existing process for the complaints management system.
