   • giving the customer a full minute to talk
   • asking closed-ended questions to regain control of the conversation
   • stepping in and attempting to refocus the customer
   • asking social questions such as “How are you today?”

     Answers Explanation & Hints: A call center might exist within a company and offer service to the employees of that company as well as to the customers of that company. Alternatively, a call center might be an independent business that sells computer support as a service to outside customers. In either case, a call center is a busy, fast-paced work environment, often operating 24 hours a day.

   • Ask the customer to telephone back when the customer is feeling less stressed.
   • Ask the customer to hold, and then wait five minutes for the customer to calm down.

     Answers Explanation & Hints: Customers who have computer problems probably feel stressed. A technician should establish a good rapport with a customer, which might allow the customer to relax a little bit. A relaxed customer might provide more information that will help in troubleshooting the problem.

    • Two users are requesting an application enhancement.
      

      Answers Explanation & Hints: Call prioritization is a very important task for a call center. Call prioritization saves time by solving the most important issues first. A failure that stops company operations should be considered a top priority.

11. Once a technician understands a customer complaint, it is common to ask closed-ended questions. Which question is a close-ended one?

    • What error messages were displayed when the error occurred?
    • Is this the first time the error occurred?
    • What happened after the error occurred?
    • What happened before the error occurred?
      

      Answers Explanation & Hints: During the troubleshooting, when the technician listens and understands the computer problems from the customer, some more questions may need to be asked to gather further information. These follow up questions should be targeted and closed-ended questions based on the information that have been provided by the customer. The closed-ended questions should be focused on specific aspects and the customer should be able to answer such questions with a simple “yes” or “no” or with a factual response.

12. A customer is upset and wants to speak to a specific technician to resolve a problem immediately. The requested technician is away from the office for the next hour. What is the best way to handle this call?

    • Refer the angry customer to a supervisor.
    • Ignore the request for the specific technician by walking through a step-by-step process with the customer in an attempt to refocus the customer and solve the problem.
    • Advise the customer that the requested technician is out of the office and insist on trying to resolve the problem.
      

      Answers Explanation & Hints: If a customer wants to talk to a specific technician, try to contact that technician and see if the technician can take the call. If the technician is not available, try to make an effort to help the customer and tell the customer that the favorite technician will contact the customer later if the customer prefers to wait.

    • if the customer forgets to sign the work order

    • The technician ended the call without saying ‘Have a nice day’.
    • The technician interrupted a number of times to ask questions.

The technician should not interrupt the customer, behavior that can be perceived as rude and disrespectful and may create tension between the customer and the technician.

    • technical specifications of the computer
    • evidence of the suspected illegal activity
    • details of all past users of the computer
    • duration of the suspected illegal activity
    • location of the computer
      

      Answers Explanation & Hints: The initial reason for accessing the computer, the suspected illegal matter or operations, and the location of the computer are immediately apparent to the technician and should be among the first details documented. Details of past computer users and the duration of the illegal activity are matters that the appropriate investigators will determine. The technical specifications of the computer may have little relevance to its illegal use.

16. What category of technician uses remote access software to update a computer belonging to a customer?

    • level two technicians
    • field technicians
    • bench technicians
    • level one technicians

    • Explain each step to help the customer understand the troubleshooting process.

    • Always gather information from the customer and escalate the problem.

18. What are two examples of displaying professional communication skills while talking to a customer? (Choose two.)

    • asking customers to paraphrase their explanations
    • the use of active listening, with occasional interjections such as “I see” or “I understand”
    • focusing on what you cannot do to give customers an idea of the magnitude of the problem
    • interrupting customers with a question to gather more information
    • clarifying what customers say after they have finished their explanations
      

      Answers Explanation & Hints: It is very important to make customers feel that they are being listened to. Interacting with them and using some interjections to let them know that you are listening, or paraphrasing the problem back to them, will show that you are listening. Interrupting them or making customers repeat what they just said and focusing on what you cannot do will only make customers angry.
