Question 2

During a simulation, a customer switches topics mid-conversation before the first issue is resolved. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Ask an open-ended question to understand what they mean by 'broken'

Answer

An open-ended question encourages the customer to clarify so you can provide targeted, relevant help.
