Start with a warm, professional opening statement.Example: “Thank you for calling Xfinity. This is ___________. I am here to assist you today.” Use the customer’s name naturally throughout the call.Example: “Thank you for checking those cables, Mary. That helps me identify the root cause of the issue.” Demonstrate empathy and acknowledge the reason for the call.Example: “I understand this is impacting your day, and I’ll do everything I can to help.” Build rapport with a friendly and helpful tone.Example: “Thank you for reaching out today. I know service issues can be stressful, but you’ve come to the right place and I’m happy to help.”

Allow the customer to explain their concern without interruption.Example: “Please share your concerns with me today. I want to make sure I address everything.” Ask probing questions to identify the root cause.

“How long has this issue been occurring?”
“Did anything recently change in your household?”

Verify understanding by restating the issue.Examples: “I want to make sure I understand correctly. Your internet or cable service is currently not working, is that right?”

“If I heard you correctly, you have concerns about your billing statement. Is that correct?” Ask whether there are any additional concerns before troubleshooting.Example: “Is there anything else I can assist you with today? I want to make sure we address all of your concerns during this call.”

Things to remember

Confidence is built throughout the call—not only after the issue is resolved.

Reassure the customer that you are committed to helping. Use positive, solution-focused language. Demonstrate confidence in the resolution. Ensure the customer feels heard and valued.

Take ownership of the issue from start to finish. Use all appropriate ITGs and select the correct path for accuracy. Clearly explain the actions being taken.Example: “I’m going to ask a few questions and review some information so we can identify the best solution together.” Involve the customer throughout troubleshooting rather than silently checking boxes. Set expectations for timelines and next steps.Example: “I’ll take a moment to review your account and ensure you’re getting the most from your services.” Explain any required actions and what the customer should expect next. Review the technician visit expectations when an appointment is scheduled. Check for understanding throughout the interaction.Example: “I want to make sure the steps I’m taking make sense and that you’re comfortable with our plan.” Avoid technical jargon and keep explanations simple and easy to understand.

“I have scheduled your technician appointment for [day] between [arrival window]. Let me review a few important details to help ensure your appointment goes smoothly.

You will receive a series of text message updates throughout the day:

A text message confirming your appointment.
A text message notifying you when your technician is on the way.
A final text message letting you know the technician has arrived.

Once the technician arrives, please be sure to answer the door within 10 minutes so we can avoid any delays or a reschedule.

To help our technician locate your home, is there anything they should know ahead of time, such as:

A gated community or secured entrance?
Special parking instructions?
Difficulty locating the address?

Also, do you have any pets in the home? For everyone’s safety, we ask that pets be secured during the visit.

If applicable: Please note there will be a charge of $_____ for this technician visit.

In addition, technicians are unable to move furniture or entertainment centers, or lift televisions. If access to equipment is needed, please ensure the area is clear and accessible before the appointment.”

Complete all required troubleshooting steps thoroughly. Explain what you are doing and why throughout troubleshooting.Example: “I’m checking your modem signal to determine whether the issue is coming from inside or outside the home.” Continue updating the customer on progress.

Review the account from left to right for anything that may cause a repeat call. Address any related billing, service, equipment, or account concerns.Example: “You mentioned a few other concerns earlier. Let me look into those while I have your account open.” Identify opportunities to prevent future issues.

Upcoming bill due date
Pending service interruption
Equipment concerns
Account maintenance needs

Provide self-help resources and education.

Xfinity App
Self-service troubleshooting
Remote features
Customer education documents

Verify the service is working properly before ending the call.Example: “Before we wrap up, I’d like to confirm your internet is working as expected. Are you able to browse websites, stream, and connect your devices successfully?” Confirm the original reason for the call has been resolved.Example: “I want to make sure we’ve taken care of the concern that brought you in today. Is everything working as expected now?” Ask: “Have I resolved everything you contacted us about today?” Send a self-help document and confirm the address where it is being sent.

Every call

A self-help resource should be sent on every call, and the destination address should be confirmed with the customer.

Review any remaining next steps or commitments. Verify the customer understands what to expect moving forward. If a technician visit is required, confirm someone 18 years of age or older will be present. Explain the technician arrival window. Explain any preparation requirements. Review the next steps after the technician visit.

Provide a personalized recap of what was discussed and resolved. Repeat your name naturally to make the interaction memorable for the survey.Example: “Thank you for speaking with me today. Once again, my name is ___________.” Thank the customer for choosing Xfinity. End on a positive note.Example: “Thank you for being an Xfinity customer. I’m glad I was able to assist you today. Please remember to check out the self-help tools we discussed. Have a wonderful day!”

“Before we wrap up today, I’d like to quickly recap what we accomplished. You contacted us because of [customer concern], and I understand how important it was to get that addressed. Together, we reviewed your account, completed the necessary troubleshooting steps, and [resolution provided].

We also discussed [any additional concerns addressed], reviewed your account for any other issues that could impact your service, and talked about resources available to help you manage your services moving forward.

Your technician appointment is scheduled for [date/time], if applicable, and we verified your service address and contact information to ensure everything is set up correctly.

Most importantly, I want to thank you for working with me today. I appreciate your patience, and I’m glad we were able to address your concerns. My goal was to make sure you felt heard, understood, and supported throughout this process.

Have I resolved everything you contacted us about today, and is there anything else I can assist you with before we disconnect?”

“Today, you contacted us regarding [issue]. We completed [actions taken], and your next steps are [next steps, if any]. I appreciate the opportunity to assist you, and I’m confident we have a plan in place to address your concerns. Thank you for being a valued Xfinity customer, and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day.”

This recap helps the customer feel heard, valued, understood, and confident that the issue was fully addressed.

Connect before you correct. Resolve the reason for the call and any related concerns. Prevent the next call by being proactive. Educate the customer on available tools and resources. Leave the customer feeling confident they do not need to call back.

Goal

Every customer should leave the interaction feeling heard, valued, educated, and confident that their issue was fully resolved the first time.
