# SOP: Handling Customer Escalations

**Document ID:** SOP-CC-005  
**Version:** 2.1  
**Effective Date:** November 1, 2025  
**Owner:** Operations Manager  
**Review Frequency:** Annually

---

## 1. Purpose
Define the process for handling customer escalations to ensure timely resolution 
and maintain customer satisfaction.

---

## 2. Scope
Applies to all contact center agents and supervisors handling customer calls, 
emails, and chats.

---

## 3. Escalation Criteria

**When to escalate to supervisor:**
- Customer is irate and demands to speak to a manager
- Refund request > ₹5,000
- Policy exception requested (e.g., return after 30 days)
- Agent cannot resolve issue after reasonable troubleshooting
- Customer threatens legal action or social media complaint

---

## 4. Procedure

**Step 1: Attempt to Resolve at Agent Level**
- Listen actively to customer's concern
- Acknowledge frustration: "I understand this is frustrating..."
- Propose solution within agent authority
- Explain policy clearly but empathetically

**Step 2: Inform Customer of Escalation**
- If resolution not possible: "I'd like to get my supervisor involved 
  to help resolve this for you. Please hold for just a moment."
- Place customer on hold (warm transfer preferred)

**Step 3: Brief Supervisor**
- Call supervisor via internal line
- Provide context:
  - Customer name and issue summary
  - Steps already taken
  - Customer's requested resolution
- Transfer call to supervisor

**Step 4: Document in CRM**
- Update Zendesk ticket with:
  - Escalation reason
  - Supervisor name
  - Timestamp
  - Resolution (to be updated by supervisor)

---

## 5. Supervisor Actions

**When receiving escalation:**
- Greet customer: "Hello [Name], this is [Supervisor Name]. 
  I understand there's an issue I can help with..."
- Review agent notes in CRM (if available)
- Provide resolution:
  - If within policy: Execute immediately
  - If exception needed: Consult Operations Manager
- Document final resolution in CRM
- Follow up with agent for coaching (if needed)

---

## 6. Metrics & Reporting

**Track:**
- Escalation rate: (Escalations / Total Calls) × 100
- Target: < 5%
- Escalation reasons (monthly report)
- Supervisor resolution rate (% resolved vs. further escalated)
