Hybrid Week 2 Risk Flags

Coaching Summary

Performance is declining, with low accuracy and protocol scores on hardware troubleshooting calls.

Agent struggles with correct technical guidance and case documentation, particularly on MX6200 hardware issues.

Key calls: #LTS00135064, #RR00120940

Risk Flags

Critical dimension below threshold

Accuracy <2.5 and protocol <2.0 on calls involving hardware troubleshooting

ExampleCall #LTS00135064: accuracy=1, protocol=1 with unresolved MX6200 connectivity issue due to incorrect LED interpretation and reset procedure

Correct behavior: Follow KB for LED state interpretation, use correct reset/pairing methods, and complete mandatory connectivity checks before concluding hardware failure

Impact: Customer received incorrect guidance, leading to unresolved issue and potential repeat call

Pattern of abandonment

Operational closure status 'abandoned_or_vague' on 2 calls this week

ExampleCall #LTS00135064 and #RR00120940 closed without documented resolution or clear next steps

Correct behavior: Document troubleshooting steps, set follow-up, and provide concrete next steps before closing unresolved issues

Impact: Customers left without clear path forward, increasing callback risk

Suggested Coaching Conversation

1
You maintained excellent patience and professionalism throughout the MX6200 calls—your calm tone really helped de-escalate frustration. Can you share how you approach staying patient when customers are upset?
2
In the MX6200 case, you interpreted the steady blue LED as a fault state. Let's review the KB together: what does a solid blue LED actually indicate, and how should we guide customers?
3
You initiated a warranty claim but didn't collect serial numbers or verify warranty status before closing. What steps can we take to ensure we have all required information upfront for replacements?
4
When customers ask about delayed replacements like in #RR00120940, how can we provide a clearer escalation path and timeline before ending the call?
5
For mesh setups like the LN1600/5500 case, how can we confirm customers understand the parent/child node requirements before closing to prevent follow-ups?
6
What process can we follow to ensure we complete power cycles, router logins, and WAN checks before concluding hardware failure on any device?

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.
