Escalation Resolution Feedback

When issues escalate beyond first-line support, the stakes are higher. This specialized feedback form captures customer sentiment after escalation resolution, measuring not just whether the problem was solved, but how fair, timely, and professional the process felt. Use it to identify systemic issues in your escalation workflow, coach escalation specialists, and turn potentially negative experiences into recovery wins.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should this form be sent?

Send immediately after an escalated ticket is marked as resolved - ideally within 24 hours while the experience is fresh. Consider a follow-up at 7 days to confirm the solution held.

How do I define what counts as an 'escalation'?

Escalations typically include: issues elevated to senior agents, cases requiring manager intervention, cross-department handoffs, or any ticket that exceeds your standard resolution SLA. Define clear criteria in your ticketing system.

What resolution time expectations should I set?

This depends on your SLAs and issue severity. Common benchmarks: P1 critical issues within 4 hours, P2 high priority within 24 hours, P3 medium within 48-72 hours. Communicate expectations upfront and measure against them.

How do I handle negative escalation feedback?

Create an immediate alert workflow for low scores. Have a senior team member call within 24 hours, document the root cause, and track whether additional compensation or action is needed. Use aggregate data to identify training needs.

What's a good escalation satisfaction score?

Given escalations start from a negative situation, scores of 70-80% satisfaction indicate effective recovery. Below 60% suggests systemic issues. Track the 'recovery rate' - how many detractors become passives or promoters after escalation.

Should I include the original issue in the form?

Yes - pre-populate context where possible (ticket ID, issue category, original agent) to reduce respondent effort and enable correlation analysis. Protect privacy by summarizing rather than including full ticket content.
