First Contact Resolution has got a lot of airplay over the last few years, but it is more of a concept than a measurement.
The real measure is driving down repeat contacts.
In this webinar we look at a number of key areas – from cutting out avoidable contacts, to better escalation procedures – our panel of expects share their experience that they have learnt the hard way.

- Winning tip – “We have trained our team with call handling techniques such as “Wallpaper Effect” i.e. agents ignore previous contacts and don’t make assumptions,
“Traffic Light” i.e. green is a calm customer – red is emotional.
It allows each interaction to be judged and handled on its own merit. We have also introduced a knowledge base with decision trees and easy to understand/follow process maps. All this is followed up with regular coaching.” thanks to Gavin15
