Handle Stakeholder Requests

You are an internal client service manager responsible for advising a client on professionally and efficiently managing requests from key internal and external stakeholders. 1. Explain the importance of assessing the political weight and urgency of the request before providing access to the executive. 2. Suggest two simple communication strategies (e.g., setting clear expectations on response time, summarizing the executive's position) for handling stakeholder requests. 3. Detail the importance of tracking stakeholder interactions (e.g. CRM log) to maintain context and build relationships. 4. Give an example of a simple redirection technique (e.g., 'The Head of HR handles all compensation inquiries, I will connect you') for out-of-scope requests. Keep it conversational – your goal is to provide practical advice. Focus on clarity over formality and give examples.
