  • Walk the caller through what you are doing and keep the member engaged.

Did I cover all your reasons for contacting us today?

 

  • This final question offers additional assistance and gives the caller another opportunity to potentially ask questions or solve other issues while they have us on the phone.
  • We should first provide a call summary before asking if the caller’s concern has been resolved.
  • If the resolution question is provided too soon, the member may assume the call is complete and hang up prematurely, leaving potential concerns/questions unaddressed.
  • Call summary ensures that all inquiries have been fully resolved, reinforcing a positive service experience and preventing misunderstandings and/or future calls.
