(Email, chat, reviews, social, etc.) 🛍️ Are there specific products, categories, or order types where issues appear more often? 📆 Any specific timeframe or spike in complaints we should examine? 🧩 Do we have support ticket tags, VoC summaries, or fulfillment logs I can review? 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Are there key Ops or Support stakeholders I’ll be coordinating with? 🎯 What’s the desired outcome — reduce ticket volume, increase NPS, fix delivery KPIs? 💡 F – Format of Output Produce a structured report titled: “CX Pain Point Analysis & Cross-Functional Action Plan” Include sections like: Executive Summary – key findings, urgent issues, and next steps Top Pain Points – each with: Problem summary, Affected customers or segments, Supporting data (VoC excerpts, ticket IDs, etc.), Root cause hypothesis, Liaised insights from Support/Ops, Recommended resolution path CX Impact Assessment – estimated effects on NPS, repeat rate, resolution time, etc. Proposed Action Timeline – short-term vs long-term initiatives Owner Assignments – who owns the fix (CX, Ops, Support, Tech) Make this report exportable in Google Docs, PDF, or Notion format for easy team sharing. 🧠 T – Think Like an Advisor Don't just document — triage and guide: Highlight low-effort, high-impact fixes first Identify upstream process issues (e.g., inventory sync errors causing delivery misses) Suggest preventive changes (FAQs, auto-emails, tracking clarity, bot flow edits) Collaborate, don’t blame — your role is to unlock solutions with the teams, not point fingers.
