Escalation Flow

All escalations follow a clear path. Never skip levels without cause.

  1. CSR / CCS β€” Attempt to resolve using SOPs and available resources
  2. Team Lead β€” Escalate if outside standard scope, client is threatening to leave,file complaints or escalate the situation, or legal/compliance concern arises
  3. OperationsCSR Manager β€” Escalate for cross-department issues, billing disputes over threshold, systemic problems
  4. CEO β€” Reserve for major legal threats, refund decisions over a set amount, or company-level decisions
πŸ’‘ When in Doubt β€” Escalate Up, Not Around
Never route around your team lead to go directly to the CEO unless it is genuinely urgent and your lead is unavailable. Document the reason for escalation in GHL before reaching out.
