How many emails does it take your company to change a lightbulb?

The answer should be one. Or as few as possible.

But do you actually know how many responses your customer service team sends before fixing the problem?

First contact resolution (FCR) is a company’s ability to solve a customer’s query during their first response to the customer’s initial contact.

Businesses failing to deliver on FCR often equates to poor customer service. Which costs UK businesses £37 billion each year.

Why FCR matters

Companies with high first contact resolution rates typically have high customer satisfaction. In fact, research led by Service Quality Measurement (SQM) Group revealed that every 1 percent increase in FCR led to a 1 percent increase in customer satisfaction.

In contrast, every 1 percent increase in FCR results in a 1 percent decrease in customer costs and a 1 to 5 percent increase in employee satisfaction.

Apart from manually scrolling through an employee’s mailbox, there is no cost-effective and easy way to analyse this.
Until now.

Outlook Email Tracker lets you measure all emails sent to, within and from your organisation. Ensuring your staff get it right first time and are not sending multiple emails for one resolution.

It also tracks response times so you can see how long your customers are waiting for a reply.
With this data, you can:

• See areas for improvement in customer service team
• Set and track KPIs and SLAs

Hold third-parties to account

Do you outsource your customer service support?

When a third-party supplier is handling your customer service remotely, it’s vital that you analyse their performance.

If you pay per email sent, you can measure how many emails are sent for each query and ensure they’re responding in time.
