Main Reasons to Improve your First Call Resolution Performance


There are four main reasons to improve First Call Resolution performance:

Reduce operating cost - if you are performing at the call center industry average of 67% First Call Resolution rate, you need to understand that at least 33% of customers calling your call center have to call back because their issue was not resolved on their first call. The cost to the call center is enormous.

Improve customer satisfaction - by having high First Call Resolution. Customer satisfaction drops an average of 15% with each call back, so the impact call backs have to your overall customer satisfaction is enormous.

Increase opportunities to sell - Customers' needs must be resolved before the CSR has earned the right to move onto any sort of sales activity. If the CSR moves to the cross sell too early the customer is irritated and feels the CSR is pushing the organization's needs, rather than serving the customer.

Improve employee satisfaction - an organization with low First Call Resolution often has low employee satisfaction and high turnover. Interestingly, only 10% of employees are satisfied that management focuses on improving FCR! The stress on the employee of taking the second and third call from that customer whose issue wasn't resolved the first time is huge.


Study Methodolgy


The First Call Resolution Level 1 Study takes key aspects of your call center's customer satisfaction and operational performance and brings them together for a deeper insight into your First Call Resolution performance.

There are two main modules:

1. Customer Satisfaction
400 telephone surveys are conducted with customers who have had a transaction with your call center within 1-3 days of their call. The survey is an in-depth interview and is 4-5 minutes in length and is based on 8 questions. SQM's customer survey has a proven track record for measuring the attributes that improve customer satisfaction and First Call Resolution performance.
  • Inquiries
  • Orders
  • Complaints
  • Dispatching
  • Helpdesk
  • Collections
Our First Call Resolution Study can also be focused on customer types, such as:
  • Business
  • Consumer
  • Profitability
  • Revenue
  • Industry
2. Operational Performance
Call center management complete an operational questionnaire which covers 100 metrics, such as service levels, cost per call, call volume, calls handled, training days etc.

The data for these two modules is collected separately. However, the report combines the data so that you gain greater insight into what really drives your customer satisfaction and First Call Resolution performance.
