First Contact Resolution (FCR)
First Contact Resolution (FCR) measures the percentage of customer inquiries resolved during the first interaction, without the need for follow-ups.
What is First Contact Resolution?
First Contact Resolution, or FCR, is a key performance metric in customer support that tracks the percentage of inquiries resolved during the initial interaction. Achieving a high FCR means that customers receive effective solutions without needing additional follow-up, enhancing their overall satisfaction.
Why First Contact Resolution matters
FCR is vital for customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. A high FCR indicates that support agents are well-equipped to handle inquiries promptly and effectively, reducing the need for repeated interactions and improving the customer experience.
