Monitoring internal resolution indicators

For the escalation process to be truly rigorous, the organization must incorporate technological mechanisms to audit the trajectory of each dispute.

Knowing exactly when to issue a courtesy message to validate final customer satisfaction is a top-quality differentiator.

Furthermore, throughout this administrative transition, it is imperative to give the user the ability to choose his or her own course whenever feasible.

Giving them the power to decide whether they prefer to wait in line or be contacted hours later puts them
