Knowledge-Informed Interactions (KII): at the Heart of Our Service

Underlying our quest for excellence is a passionate commitment to Knowledge-Informed Interactions (KII), a system that ensures our agents have the latest technical solutions and product knowledge.

As part of our KII processes, our agents collect, share and collaborate on resolving technical issues on more than 300 different phones, smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices. They feed an ever-expanding knowledge base of deep, detailed diagnostic and workflow solutions of the hardware/software ecosystem, including iOS, Android, Windows and BlackBerry. 

With our KII shared knowledge forum, our agents—and our clients—have access to an evolving body of technical knowledge of every product they support. It also allows us to push repair trends to frontline agents to reduce the number of incorrect repair requests and no-fault-found returns.

Getting It Right the First (and Only) Time

iQor builds a customized technical support plan for each client that drives higher first call resolution. We share our client’s commitment to solving the problem for the customer the first time. To provide sustainable and repeatable results we employ strategies that can include multiple layers of concierge type support.

We view each problem, each interaction as an opportunity for our clients to get smarter about the products and services they offer customers.  Whether using post-call surveys, contextual notes, or creating customized reference materials, we help our clients improve their products, pricing, and policies.

Concierge Service = Five-Star CSAT

Satisfied customers have always been key to corporate success, but in today’s mobile world, with new devices and competing plans constantly becoming available, customer retention is harder than ever. To encourage brand loyalty, iQor models its technical support on concierge service at a five-star hotel.

Expect agents who are:


  • Warm and courteous
  • Focused on each customer’s individual needs
  • Knowledgeable about the company’s hardware, software, operating systems
  • Efficient but patient, never rushing a customer off the line
  • Trained to resolve an issue in one call (First Contact Resolution), either on their own or by tapping internal resources
  • Trouble-shooters and problem-solvers

Hands-on Support in High-Tech Labs

As part of our commitment to our clients success, iQor helps build dedicated technical labs at our call centers. The labs are designed to replicate a typical store display, with flagship devices from our clients portfolio of products.
