Call Disposition

Call Disposition is the practice of tagging call outcomes, such as “resolved” or “follow-up needed” after each customer interaction to track results and guide next steps.

Call Disposition

What is Call Disposition?

In call centers, call disposition means labeling the result of a customer interaction using simple tags instead of long notes. It helps teams understand what happened during the call, track patterns, and make sure important follow-ups aren’t missed.

How It Works

  • Tag the Outcome: After each call, the agent picks a code that best describes the result.
  • Standardize Data: These tags create clear, uniform data for reporting and analysis.
  • Trigger Next Steps: The selected tag can prompt actions like scheduling a callback or escalating an issue.

Common Call Disposition Examples

  • Resolved: The customer’s issue was fully addressed.
  • Follow-Up Needed / Callback Required: Further action or information is needed after the call.
  • Interested / Not Interested: Indicates the caller’s level of interest in a product or service.
  • Left Voicemail: A voicemail was left because the recipient was unavailable.
  • Appointment Scheduled: A meeting or appointment was successfully arranged.
  • Wrong Number / Inactive: The call reached an incorrect or inactive number.
