Solving a caller’s problems quickly can significantly improve their perception of your organization’s overall quality and competency. However, achieving the fastest possible resolution speed – over the course of a single call – can prove to be more complicated than it seems. There are many variables involved in handling customers’ calls efficiently enough to resolve them without need for additional contact to be made on their part.

But even as those words were coming out of my mouth, one of my most indelible memories was waking up.

As a customer, hearing the answer “go read this self-service article” from a support agent can be a frustrating experience. So many companies do self-service poorly that this type of response can feel like the agent is brushing the customer aside to focus on another issue.

If somebody is not willing to do that for their own career, a hiring manager is going to assume that they are not going to do it for customers.
