C-Position the intensity of contact service encounters

Explanation for Section C - The Intensity of Contact Encounters deals with the degree of interaction with customers at key points of service delivery. Example, in the Banking industry, use of an ATM for routine money withdrawals is low intensity because it uses self-service technology. As compared to Mortgage or Loan approvals, there are meetings, interviews, much assessment of customer situations and resources and finally approval of the request; this would be high intensity with the customer.
Here are the question regarding part C that been ask in the interview

*Question 1: Are all the services you offer high contact (meaning always interacting with client)?

Employee answer: Almost always our services involve interacting with the client. In some situations (mainly when a client is palliative) we are simply to be at their side, should a medical need arise we would simply alert the proper medical personnel.

D-Identify the presence of 3 stages of service encounter

Explanation for Section D - The three stages refers to the Pre-purchase Stage, Purchase Encounter Stage, and Post-Purchase Stage. You should think about your service company and describe what is happening in each stage of their processes. and what needs to happen to move ahead to each next stage from the previous stage.

*Question 1: What does your pre-purchase stage involve (before home care worker goes to client)?

Employee answer: The initial step to acquiring home care services begins with an in home assessment. Myself, the branch manager, will go to the clients to collect their information to create their care plan, give them the necessary information, and have paperwork signed.

Question 2: How do clients hear about your company?

Employee answer: We do marketing in our local communities, by administering calendars, brochures, and business cards in high senior populated locations. We also advertise on the internet and have a TV commercial.

Question 3: What differentiate you from other home care service providers?

Employee answer: I can't say exactly what makes our services different than others, but we always offer the highest level of integrity when we are dealing with our clientele. We keep in constant contact with them regarding changes, and keep their families involved in the care as well. We have a very hands on approach when ensuring our services are optimal.
