Repeated failures require heightened ownership, including escalation and personal follow-through.

Question 2

Which of the following is an example of a proactive follow-up?

Proactive follow-up means initiating contact to verify satisfaction rather than waiting for the customer to reach out.

Question 3

When should a representative set a follow-up reminder in their CRM after resolving an issue?

For complex or high-risk cases to ensure the solution held
