Why your CSAT is dying in the back office
The customer is not angry at the agent. They are angry at the claim that has been sitting for eleven days.
We still see enterprises buy 'the contact center' from one vendor and 'the BPO' from another, then wonder why first-contact resolution will not move.
FCR is often a back-office number wearing a front-office name. If the specialist cannot see or nudge the claim, the order exception, or the KYC pack, they can only apologize on a schedule.
Integrating front and back is not a slogan. It is one ticket, one SLA owner, and a specialist with authority limits that match the promise marketing already made.
