Suggested Coaching Conversation

1
Your early product identification on the WHW03V2 call was excellent — that's exactly how we ensure targeted support. Can you walk me through how you confirmed the model was a WHW03V2?
2
The reset instructions you provided differed from our KB — what sources did you reference when guiding the customer through the reset?
3
When troubleshooting connectivity, what specific checks do you perform to confirm WAN connectivity before working on the router itself?
4
How do you verify the accuracy of device access credentials before sharing them with customers? Let's review the WHW03V2 documentation together.

Coaching Best Practices

Five Principles for Effective Coaching Conversations

  1. SBI feedback model — Describe the Situation, the Behavior you observed, and its Impact. Avoid labels (“you always…”) — describe the specific instance.
  2. Ask more than you tell — Start with “What did you notice on that call?” before offering your interpretation. Agents who self-diagnose retain more.
  3. Recognition before correction — Open with a genuine strength observation. Agents in a defensive posture can’t hear coaching.
  4. Psychological safety first — Frame mistakes as data, not character. “That call had a tricky wrinkle — let’s pull it apart” lands better than “you made an error here.”
  5. Close with a specific commitment — End every coaching conversation with one thing the agent will try on their next call, and a follow-up check-in within 48 hours.
