What You Did Well
- Device Identification12 of 38 callsConsistently accurately identified device models and serial numbers from customer input across multiple calls, such as EA7200, WHW03, and MX6200.Why this matters: Ensures correct troubleshooting and support path selection, improving resolution efficiency.
- Professional Communication28 of 38 callsMaintained polite and professional tone throughout interactions, even during complex troubleshooting sessions.Why this matters: Enhances customer experience and builds trust, encouraging cooperation during diagnostics.
Growth Focus
- Technical Guidance Completeness18 of 38 callsFrequently omitted critical troubleshooting steps (e.g., router UI access, firmware verification) and prematurely directed customers to paid support or self-help without exhausting free options.Why this matters: Leads to unresolved issues, repeat calls, and customer frustration due to incomplete guidance.Example: In call #LTS00134352 (15d1a096-6e80-11f1-868a-42010a62006f), the agent did not guide the customer through basic Wi-Fi settings adjustments, instead offering only generic advice and paid support.What better looks like: Systematically guide customers through documented troubleshooting steps (e.g., router UI access, firmware checks) before escalating or suggesting paid support.
- Escalation and Case Handling15 of 38 callsInconsistent case documentation and escalation practices, including missing serial numbers and unclear follow-up plans.Why this matters: Impacts accountability, repeat call prevention, and effective handoff to Tier-2 or L2 support.Example: Call #LTS00134697 (c18ddb8c-7030-11f1-8c0d-42010a623f91) ended without a formal case reference or documented next steps after a factory reset failure.What better looks like: Consistently collect model/serial numbers, document troubleshooting steps in HappyFox, and set clear follow-up timelines for unresolved cases.

Documentation Accuracy
#LTS00134381HIGH
Grader saw: Unresolved - Avoidance/Evasion
Agent documented no troubleshooting but graded as 'Resolved' in HappyFox; grader marked unresolved due to avoidance.
Practice Plan
- Step 1Before closing any call where the issue is not confirmed fixed, ask the customer to test the fix on the call and confirm it works.Why: Prevents unresolved issues and repeat calls by ensuring the customer validates the solution live.
- Step 2Always guide customers through accessing the router's local web interface (e.g., http://myrouter.local) and verify firmware/version before proceeding with advanced troubleshooting.Why: Ensures accurate diagnostics and avoids misdirected steps, improving first-call resolution.This week: #LTS00134352
- Step 3Document every troubleshooting step performed in HappyFox, including model/serial numbers, and set explicit follow-up timelines for unresolved cases.Why: Creates accountability, improves handoffs, and reduces repeat contact.This week: #LTS00134697
- Step 4When escalating or offering paid support, first exhaust all free troubleshooting options and clearly explain why escalation is necessary.Why: Builds trust and ensures customers receive maximum value before incurring costs.This week: #LTS00134381
- Step 5Avoid collecting payment information during calls; direct customers to secure online portals for paid support transactions.Why: Compliance with PCI standards and protects both agent and customer data.This week: #LTS00135001
