SupportIndustry.com Announces New Research Insight Report on First Contact Resolution

SupportIndustry.com, an online resource dedicated to enabling organizations to deliver world-class customer service and support, announced the results of a new Research Insight report on the topic of First Contact Resolution.

SupportIndustry.com surveyed its members - senior level service and support professionals - in March 2010 and nearly 100 people responded. Key findings include:

- 59.7% of support professionals responding indicated their company currently measures FCR.

- 38% of respondents reported that less than 20% of calls are escalated. Interestingly, nearly 27% reported they do not measure this at all.

- The survey asked respondents what the overall level of complexity was of the products they support, with over half (52.5%) citing their products as complex.

- When correlated to the level of incidents escalated to Level 2, the report found that 23.4% of those who support complex products have 20% or more of their contacts escalated to Level 2.

The full report is available for free to all SupportIndustry.com members. Visitors can also view and excerpt of the data at http://www.supportindustry.com/researchinsight_FCR.htm.
