    Categorize Issue

    First & the most importing think that we need to do on calls is to

    identify what is the issue that is the customer calling us for:

    Does he needs our help in how to use the application?

    Does he need our help in fixing the application?

    Whether is he not able to use that particular feature/tool?

    No matter how many calls we get, all of them land under one of

    the above mentioned scenarios.

    Categorize Issue

    The best way to categorize issue is by Summarizing & Paraphrasing the customersissue back to the customer to check if we have understood the issue correctly or not.

    After paraphrasing the customers issue, it is the best to Reproduce the same issue on ourmachine to check if the customer is actually doing the job correctly or not.

    Another thing that helps in identifying the issue is by asking Probing Questions.

    Probing Questions help us in understanding the customers concern & also, determining

    the next step to be taken.

    If make it a habit of asking appropriate probing questions it will certainly make out job mucheasier thus helping us in fixing the customers issue.

    After asking the appropriate probing questions, we must identify the Keywords inside the

    answers given the customer to our probing questions.

    These keywords help us in searching for a resolution from our resources.

    Note:Identifying keywords is the key to success.

    Probing Questions Summary

    The reason why we ask so many questions to the customer is to identify

    the possibilities & narrowing down the issue.

    In regards to Color Management & Printing issues, we need to identifywhether the issue is:

    Product Specific

    File Specific Printer Specific Monitor Specific

    If we identify that the issue is specific to our product, then we can trysearching for a resolution in IKBS & troubleshoot the issue accordingly.

    If the issue lie under the rest of the three categories, try to help thecustomer with other profiles & then ask the customer to consult therespective manufacturer.
