Study Notes
Repeat Call Rates and Performance Data
- Companies can track repeat call rates to identify top-performing reps and those who need coaching
- It's essential to focus on general performance tendencies rather than precise numbers to avoid debates and ensure fairness
Benefits of Measuring Callbacks
- Identifies issues and areas for improvement
- Encourages best performers to suggest policy and process changes to reduce repeat calls
- Improves customer experience by reducing unnecessary calls and ensuring customers feel supported
Next Issue Avoidance
- Positioning next issue avoidance as a way to save customers time and energy can lead to increased sales and customer satisfaction
- Automating next issue avoidance principles in self-service channels can also reduce customer effort
Fidelity Investments Example

Key Takeaways
- Nearly half of all repeat contacts go unseen by companies
- Customers often call back due to indirectly related issues or emotional disconnects
- The most common sources of repeat contacts are adjacent issues and experience issues
- Companies should focus on forward-resolving issues and measuring callbacks, not just first contact resolution (FCR)
