7. Disposition

Disposition the Session

1. Ask the guest if they would like to participate in a survey for the service they received.

If the guest accepts, warm transfer them to 1-855-302-1599, enter the Session # from this Cloud session and then complete the transfer ensuring the guest hears the rest of the IVR prompts. Do not give the guest the aforementioned phone number. That number is only intended for us to transfer to.

2. Click "Session Info" at the top of the session window and update all of the applicable fields to the best of your ability.

3. Click Done in the left pane

4. Click Close at the top of this session window.

A. Resolved: All calls where a service or path to a resolution was provided.

B. Not Resolved: Dropped calls / Ghost Calls / Guest needs to call back

8. Check Environment

Pro tip: If you feel it would be beneficial to see what the customer sees, feel free to use SeeSupport. Check out the guide here: How to Use SeeSupport.

If other wireless devices are connected to the network and functioning properly chances are the router is ok. Let's see if there is an environmental issue that is thwarting our efforts.

Ask the guest if they have a portable wireless device (Smart Phone, Tablet, Laptop, etc.) that they can put in the same area to test and see if that device's wireless connection still functions as intended in that location.

Select the appropriate response in the decision point dropdown.

9. Reasonable Range?

Pro tip: If you feel it would be beneficial to see what the customer sees, feel free to use SeeSupport. Check out the guide here: How to Use SeeSupport.

Is the device within a reasonable distance from the router?

10. Relocate Router

Pro tip: If you feel it would be beneficial to see what the customer sees, feel free to use SeeSupport. Check out the guide here: How to Use SeeSupport.

Is it possible for the guest to relocate their wireless router to a more centralized location?

11. Recommend a Range Extender

If the wireless signal is not reaching the device and moving the router to a more centralized (closer) location is not possible, the guest's best option is to get a range extender. Target sells range extenders and we can help the guest find one here: Target Range Extenders.
