Lesson 2 Call Resolutions

Element 1 Communication

As much as possible, aim for a full resolution!

Ask, "How does that work for you?" After offering a resolution, ask a confirmation question and get the customer's feedback.

If they agree, Proceed with the solution.

If they disagree, Ask probing questions to arrive at better answers.

If a full resolution is not possible, Aim for a partial resolution.

Which of the following can you adjust to arrive at a partial resolution? You may choose multiple answers.

Tired after the call?

Do not forget to destress! To avoid burnout, destress from your desk from time to time.

Maybe these will help! Getting a fresh cup of coffee Chatting with your friends Listening to music

If these don't work for you, you can try doing these instead. Meditate for 5 minutes before your next call. Do breathing exercises like inhaling for 5 seconds, holding your breath for 5 seconds, and exhaling for 5 seconds.

Sample Mock Conversations

Let's put you to the test by doing some simulated conversations with different types of irate customers.
