1 Assess the urgency and impact of tasks

The first step to prioritize tasks is to evaluate how urgent and important they are for your customer service objectives. Urgent tasks are those that require immediate attention, such as resolving a customer complaint, fixing a technical issue, or meeting a deadline. Important tasks are those that contribute to your long-term goals, such as improving processes, training staff, or developing strategies. You can use a matrix or a tool to rank your tasks based on these criteria, and focus on the ones that are both urgent and important first.

I think we all have found that urgent tasks take up too much of our time. The time we find to address them takes away from our focus on important tasks. It then becomes important to review those urgent tasks and find gaps in your processes and/or team that can reduce or eliminate them in the future.

Measurability is everything when it comes to effectively prioritising & delegating tasks in customer service. Out pro tip is measuring the revenue impact a certain case could have in the best, most possible or worst case. By attaching revenue effects to problems and potential consequences, you can gain a deeper understanding of the impact of each task and make more informed decisions about allocating resources. Some of the metrics we recommend for that are Customer Acquisition cost, that could be lost through churn, the average Revenue per Customer, Customer Lifetime Value, or NPS, which ideally is linked to your revenue as well.

1) Prioritize the job and set realistic and achievable datelines. Break into smaller milestones. Regular meetings to monitor progress. This gives the team members a better understanding of the importance of each task and results in increased self-confidence. 2) Establish a structured workflow. Delineate the responsibilities and authority. Indicate the expectation and KPI. This will allow them to feel they are in control of their job and their morale is greatly increased.

2 Delegate tasks based on skills and availability

The next step to delegate tasks is to identify who in your team has the skills, experience, and availability to handle them. You can use a system or a tool to assign tasks, track progress, and communicate feedback. You should also consider the workload, preferences, and development needs of your team members, and distribute tasks fairly and transparently. Delegating tasks can help you free up time for your own priorities, empower your team to take ownership and accountability, and enhance their performance and motivation.

Kind of disagree with distributing tasks “fairly.” Tasks need to be distributed to the ones who can get it done. What is not fair is when you have a team member who you can’t entrust tasks with. If you have an achievement oriented culture, your employees are not worried about being given more tasks than their coworker. It’s then up to you to reposition or replace the coworker not able to take on more.

3 Communicate expectations and outcomes

The third step to prioritize and delegate tasks is to communicate clearly and effectively with your team and your customers. You should set clear expectations and outcomes for each task, such as the scope, deadline, quality, and deliverables. You should also provide guidance, support, and feedback to your team, and acknowledge their achievements and challenges. Communicating expectations and outcomes can help you align your team with your customer service vision, ensure consistency and quality of service, and build trust and rapport with your customers.
