  • For teams, specify languages, hours, weekend and holiday coverage, response targets and peak-season staffing.
  • Test order lookups, returns, refund approvals and escalation using your actual policies before expanding access.
  • Ask who employs the agents, who owns the accounts, and how you retrieve transcripts and revoke access on exit.
