Busy season’s winding down, fall is in the air, and that means it’s time to start setting yourself up for the off-season, including sending year-end renewal notices and pre-pay letters to your customers through Service Assistant.
The good news is that we have all the right tools in place to help guide you through the process. Get your year-end process taken care of easily, on your own time, and set yourself up for success next season! Here’s what you need to know:
Start on our RealGreen Communities Year End Processes page, which provides you with a comprehensive checklist of everything you need to do to prepare for next year, plus handy links and step-by-step instructions:
You’ll go through the Year End Checklist, which you can find in SA5’s Utilities menu. The checklist will walk you through everything you need to do before and after processing renewals, including (and in this order):
- Mass Renewals Utility: This does exactly what it says: Enables you to renew customer programs and services en masse, and creates a service record in the coming season for any services that were listed as active in the previous season.
- Price Increase Utility: If you’re raising prices on current customers, you’ll need to run this utility. This ensures that your prices will be current for the upcoming season.
- Installment Renewals Utility: Makes sure that all of your installment agreements will be charged the proper rates.
- Price Chart Increase Utility: Initiating a price increase for the new season? You’ll need this utility to ensure that any new sales match your new pricing structure.
