Business continuity plan
For an owner or operations manager: the activities the business cannot stop for long, how long each can be down and how much data it can lose, what each depends on, the fallback for each, and named owners, deputies, contacts and a test date, ready for a competent reviewer and the owner's approval.
Category sourcing plan
For the buyer or operations lead who owns one spend category, such as packaging or IT hardware: its spend and suppliers on one page, where it sits on a supply-risk and spend matrix, the value levers the evidence supports, and a dated sourcing plan. A person chooses the approach.
Chargeback response pack
When a card dispute lands, the store owner or finance lead gets one pack: the dispute matched to its order, the evidence its reason calls for marked found or missing, a response drafted well inside the deadline, and the store's dispute ratio for the month. A person decides whether to contest and submits it.
Churn risk and save plan
Once a quarter, the owner or account lead sees why customers really left, read from your own cancellation notes and records, how many left for each cause, and one change to try for each, with an owner, a start date and the count that will show whether it helped. A person decides every change.
Complaint and refund request handling
A customer complains or asks for money back, and whoever handles it gets your policy's answer: the order matched, each condition checked, the amount worked out, any refund set out for a named person to approve, and a reply ready to edit and send.
Cost of poor quality worksheet
An owner or operations lead who senses that rework, scrap and returns are costly gets one worksheet: the failure costs already on record, sorted by category, with estimates, gaps and unresolved allocations listed. The owner decides what to fix first.
Customer feedback themes
Each month your support lead sees what customers keep telling you: tickets, disputes, reviews and survey comments grouped into themes with counts and quotations, the three issues most worth fixing with a proposed fix and owner, and a note for customers once a fix ships. A person decides every fix.
Customer reply drafting
Every customer gets the reply your best person would write. Hand over the customer's message, your tone guide and your approved answers, and get back a draft in your voice where every statement and every promise traces to something you approved. A person on your team reads it, edits it and sends it.
Customer satisfaction detractor follow-up
Every week your support lead gets each low satisfaction or recommendation score with the ticket behind it: the customer's own words, what went wrong as far as the ticket shows, a suggested owner and a draft message, plus the trend and a warning wherever the numbers are too thin to read. A person sends every message.
Demand and supply review
The operations lead gets one monthly review from the demand plan, confirmed supply and stock: where confirmed and likely demand outrun supply, what that does to inventory, and the decision each function head has to make. Sales ambition stays separate and nothing is forecast beyond your figures.
Help article from a resolved issue
Turn every answer your team works out once into an article the next customer finds on their own. Hand over a resolved ticket and your list of articles; get back a draft in your customers' words, with their details removed and every step traced to the ticket. Your knowledge-base owner decides what goes live.
Help centre gap review
Once a period, your support lead sees what the help centre is missing, read from that period's tickets and search log: questions agents answered by hand, articles that fell short, articles search could not find, and one gap list ranked by the tickets an article could have saved. The lead decides what is written.
Inventory reorder plan
The store owner or buyer gets one plan from the latest sales and stock exports: each item's sales rate, the day it could run out, its reorder point and safety stock, what to order, what is not moving, and a draft purchase order per supplier. Nothing is ordered until a person approves.
Operations KPI scorecard
Once a month the operations manager gets one red-amber-green page for the ten or fewer measures that run the operation: each value worked out from your own exports, its trend, what moved and why in the owner's words, and the action agreed for every red. You set the measures and decide the actions.
Product recall customer contact plan
Once your business has issued a recall, the customer care lead gets the contact plan: affected customers from the order export, the approved notice word for word, drafts that offer only the remedies you run, and a tracker that counts a customer done only when the item is back or repaired.
Release notes draft
The product owner gets draft release notes for one shipped release, in words users recognize: what is new, changed, removed and fixed, the steps users must take, and the known limitations. Only what was supplied is described. The owner checks and publishes.
Stale ticket sweep
Once a week the support lead gets one sheet of what the queue is hiding: tickets with no real activity past their limit, tickets left waiting on the customer with the three ways out of each, likely duplicates, and each person's load weighed by size and age. A person makes every move.
Store facts file
The person who runs an online store builds the one file every other store capability reads first: what the store sells, the facts each product page should state, the statements it stands behind, buyers' questions, policies, roles and access. Nothing on the store is changed.
Support escalation brief
When a support case must move to a specialist or manager, the support lead gets one brief: the customer's impact, a dated timeline from the ticket history, the evidence, the fixes tried, the workaround in place and the decision needed. Nothing goes to the customer.
Support service level definition
The support lead gets reply and resolution targets for every priority level, worked out from the team's own ticket history and the hours the team really has. Each target shows how often the team already meets it, and every gap comes back as a question for the lead to settle.
Support ticket triage
Your queue manager opens the morning’s tickets already sorted: each one with a category, a priority and a route, and the reason for all three in a line. The tickets that cannot wait sit at the top, stopped for a person to decide.
Unshipped order review
The fulfilment or customer-service lead gets one aged list of the orders not yet sent, whole or in part: how old each is, what is holding it, who owns the next step, and which orders have none. Nothing is released, moved or sent.
Write an SOP from how the work is done
Turn a walkthrough of how one piece of work is really done into a written procedure anyone on the team can follow: who does each step, how they know it is done, what to do when it goes wrong and when to stop and ask. The owner approves it before anyone relies on it.
