How to use the First Contact Resolution by Agent #
The First Contact Resolution by Agent (New) report can provide a start to further explorations into your data. Below are a couple of examples.
| Agent has a consistently high FCR % | This may indicate that the Agent is able to resolve customer issues consistently, and that they may be anticipating followup questions to reduce the burden on the customer. |
| Agent has a lower FCR % | This could indicate a need for additional training and support, but it could also indicate that the Agent is working on more complex or difficult customer issues. Digging into the Conversation Export to see the Topics of the related Conversations may be a good way to assess. |
FAQs #
What happens if more than one Agent worked with the customer to contribute to FCR Success?
The report uses the Last Assigned Agent as a proxy for which Agent helped. While this is not perfect, it is a close approximation for attributing the FCR Success, given that most FCR Conversations will be resolved by one person, and resolved by the person who was last assigned.
