First contact resolution means solving the customer's problem completely during their initial interaction, without requiring them to call back or follow up.
A customer is being transferred to you from another department. What should you do FIRST?

Reviewing previous notes and greeting with context shows the customer their time is valued and avoids the frustrating experience of repeating themselves.

Using a customer's name creates a personal connection, makes them feel recognized as an individual, and builds rapport throughout the interaction.
A customer wants a product that is currently out of stock. What is the BEST response?
Answer: Offer to notify them when it is back in stock, suggest similar alternatives, and provide an estimated timeline if available
Providing multiple options shows customer commitment: notification for when it returns, alternatives for immediate needs, and timeline information for planning.
When should you escalate a customer issue to a supervisor?
Answer: When the issue exceeds your authority to resolve or the customer is unsatisfied after your best efforts
