   • Ticket categorization: Classify tickets based on the type of problem or request.
   • Prioritization: Assign priorities to tickets based on their urgency and impact on customers.
   • Ticket assignment: Allocate tickets to the appropriate support agents or teams based on their expertise and workload.
2. Communication and Engagement:
   • Timely responses: Ensure prompt acknowledgement of tickets and provide initial response times to set customer expectations.
   • Clear communication: Gather all relevant information about the issue from the customer, and maintain clear, concise, and polite communication throughout the ticket resolution process.
   • Active listening: Pay attention to the customer’s concerns and ask relevant questions to understand the problem better.

3. Troubleshooting and Resolution:

   • Analyze the issue: Review the problem description and any available information to identify the root cause.
   • Troubleshooting steps: Perform step-by-step troubleshooting to resolve the issue, documenting each action taken.

4. Ticket Closure and Feedback:
   • Confirm resolution: Ensure the customer is satisfied with the resolution and confirm that no further assistance is needed.
