Correct Answer:

Paraphrasing or summarizing the customer's statements back to them.

Question 3

An agent is handling a complex technical issue. They realize the problem needs to be resolved by a specialist in another department. To support a positive customer experience and strive for First Call Resolution (FCR), what is the agent's most effective action?

Provide the customer with the direct phone number for the specialist department and instruct them to call back. Initiate a warm transfer by conferencing in the specialist, explaining the issue, and introducing the customer before handing off the call. Send an email to the specialist department on behalf of the customer and promise a callback within 24-48 hours. Tell the customer to hold while the agent attempts to contact the specialist for guidance.

Correct Answer:

Initiate a warm transfer by conferencing in the specialist, explaining the issue, and introducing the customer before handing off the call.

Question 4

A customer is very talkative and is sharing details unrelated to the reason for their call, significantly increasing the handle time. Which of the following is the most professional technique for an agent to use to maintain call control?

Use closed-ended questions that require a simple 'yes' or 'no' response to guide the conversation. Interrupt the customer and state that you need to keep the call short due to high call volumes. Allow the customer to finish their story to build maximum rapport, regardless of handle time. Place the customer on a brief hold to interrupt their conversational flow.

Correct Answer:

Use closed-ended questions that require a simple 'yes' or 'no' response to guide the conversation.
