Business Response Score

Answer 12 practical questions to see where your response system is strong and where customers may encounter friction.

1. During normal business hours, what usually happens when nobody on your team can answer immediately?
2. What happens during lunch, meetings, and unusually busy periods?
3. What happens after hours?
4. Can the first responder clearly explain your main services and boundaries?
5. Are urgent situations defined in writing?
6. Do you collect the caller's name, callback number, and reason for calling consistently?
7. Do industry-specific questions help the next person act without repeating the whole conversation?
8. Does each major call type have a named destination or responsible role?
9. Are notifications delivered through a reliable, monitored channel?
10. Does the caller receive a realistic expectation about what happens next?
11. Can you tell whether a captured inquiry received a response?
12. When the first callback fails, is there a second-step procedure?

What the score measures

Answering, clarity, intake, routing, and follow-up. The tool deliberately avoids visibility and marketing topics so the result stays focused on what happens after a customer reaches out.

Use it again when

Your hours change, new employees begin answering, you add a location or service, or your escalation procedures change.
