How to Use This Checklist

  • **Record the audit details first.** Note the date of the review, who prepared it, the location, the name of the agent being evaluated, the name of the quality evaluator, the date and time of the assessment, and the call identifier or ticket number. These fields tie the review to a specific conversation and reviewer.
  • **Evaluate the greeting.** Check that the agent greeted the customer courteously and professionally at the start of the call, identified the company and their own name according to the service script, and used a friendly and appropriate tone of voice throughout the greeting.
  • **Evaluate the needs investigation.** Check that the agent asked probing questions to understand the customer's need, confirmed their understanding of the problem or request, and gathered all the necessary information before moving on to a solution.
  • **Evaluate the solution information.** Check that the agent offered the correct solution for the problem presented, explained it clearly and understandably, confirmed that the customer was satisfied with the solution, provided other resources where applicable, and followed the correct procedures when transferring a call.
  • **Evaluate customer service.** Check that the agent used empathetic listening skills, showed a professional attitude, avoided interruptions and let the customer finish their points, and managed call time efficiently without rushing or unnecessary delays.
  • **Evaluate the call closing.** Check that the agent offered further assistance at the end of the call, closed the call appropriately, thanked the customer for contacting the company, and confirmed there were no outstanding questions before ending the call.
  • **Write your observations and recommendations.** Describe the strengths observed during the call, the opportunities for improvement identified, and the follow-up actions recommended for the agent. Give the call an overall rating from 0 to 5, then sign and record the completion dates so the review is closed out.

What call center quality assurance scoring is

Call center quality assurance scoring is the practice of reviewing individual calls against a fixed set of behavioural criteria so that every agent is measured on the same things. Instead of relying on impressions, you evaluate what actually happened on the call: how the agent opened, how they investigated the customer's need, what solution they offered and how they explained it, how they treated the customer, and how they closed the conversation. The result is a score plus written observations that show where the agent performed well and where they need support. This checklist supports that work. It breaks the call into seven sections, asks a set of questions about each one, and gives you a single place to record the evidence, the rating, and the follow-up actions.

Why it matters

A consistent QA process gives you comparable data across agents, teams, and time periods. When every evaluator works from the same questions, you can see patterns — such as missed probing questions, unclear explanations of a solution, or rushed closings — instead of one-off opinions. That makes coaching more precise and lets you track whether performance improves after feedback. The checklist also creates a written record. Because each review captures the agent's name, the evaluator's name, the date and time, and the call identifier, you can trace any score back to the conversation it describes. Written strengths, improvement opportunities, and recommended actions turn a score into something an agent can act on.

What a good call center QA review covers

A complete review follows the call from beginning to end and examines each stage in order. - **Greeting.** Did the agent greet the customer courteously and professionally, identify the company and themselves according to the service script, and use a friendly and appropriate tone? - **Needs investigation.** Did the agent ask probing questions to understand the customer's need, confirm their understanding of the problem or request, and gather all necessary information before moving to a solution? - **Solution information.** Did the agent offer the correct solution, explain it clearly, confirm the customer was satisfied, provide other resources where applicable, and follow the correct procedures when transferring a call? - **Customer service.** Did the agent use empathetic listening, act professionally, avoid interrupting and let the customer finish their points, and manage the call time efficiently? - **Closing.** Did the agent offer further assistance, close the call appropriately, thank the customer, and confirm there were no outstanding questions? - **Observations and recommendations.** What strengths were observed, what improvement opportunities were identified, what follow-up actions are recommended, and what overall rating does the call receive? Each behavioural question is answered **Yes**, **No**, or **N/A**, so items that did not apply to a particular call — such as a transfer that never happened — are marked as not applicable rather than counted against the agent.

How to carry out the review

1. Complete the audit details: date, who prepared the review, location, the agent being evaluated, the quality evaluator, the date and time of the assessment, and the call identifier or ticket number. 2. Listen to the whole call before judging it, so you understand the context of each agent response. 3. Work through the sections in order — greeting, needs investigation, solution information, customer service, and closing — marking each question **Yes**, **No**, or **N/A**. 4. Write the strengths you observed, the improvement opportunities you identified, and the follow-up actions you recommend for the agent. 5. Give the call an overall rating from 0 to 5. 6. Sign off and record the completion dates so the review is finished and traceable.

Using the results

Treat the rating and the written notes together. The rating tells you how the call compares on the standard criteria; the notes tell you why. Use the improvement opportunities and recommended follow-up actions as the basis for feedback sessions with the agent, and revisit the same questions on the next review to see whether the behaviour has changed. Because the checklist uses the same questions and the same answer scale every time, you can compare results across agents and track trends over a period. Keep the criteria and the scale stable, and control who can edit the template, so that comparisons remain meaningful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quality assurance scoring is a structured review of a recorded or live call against a defined set of criteria. You listen to the call and mark each item — greeting, needs investigation, solution information, customer service, and call closing — as demonstrated, not demonstrated, or not applicable. The total score and the written observations show where the agent performed well and where they need coaching.

A consistent QA process lets you compare agents and teams on the same criteria, spot recurring gaps such as missed probing questions or unclear explanations, and base coaching on evidence rather than impressions. It also gives you a written record of strengths, improvement opportunities, and follow-up actions for each evaluated call.

This checklist is organised into seven sections: Audit, which records who conducted the review, the location, the agent and evaluator names, the date, and the call identifier; Greetings, covering the opening greeting, identification, and tone; Investigation of the Customer's Need, covering probing questions and confirmation of the customer's issue; Solution information, covering whether the right solution was offered, explained clearly, and confirmed as satisfactory; Customer service, covering resources, transfers, empathetic listening, professionalism, avoiding interruptions, and time management; Ending the call, covering offers of further help, a proper close, thanks, and confirmation that no questions remain; and Observations and Recommendations, where you record strengths, improvement opportunities, and recommended follow-up actions, plus an overall rating from 0 to 5.

You begin by completing the Audit details so the review is traceable. You then work through the call in sequence, marking each behavioural question as Yes, No, or N/A depending on whether the agent demonstrated it. When a question does not apply to the call — for example, a transfer that never occurred — you mark it N/A rather than penalising the agent. At the end you write the strengths, the improvement opportunities, and the recommended follow-up actions, give the call an overall rating from 0 to 5, and sign off with the completion dates.

The checklist uses a three-value scale for each behavioural question: Yes, No, and N/A. Yes means the agent demonstrated the behaviour, No means they did not, and N/A means the item was not applicable to that call. The overall rating is a separate score from 0 to 5.

Keep the checklist in the hands of trained quality evaluators and control who can edit the template, so that the criteria and the answer scale stay the same across reviewers. Completing the Audit section — including the call identifier and the evaluator's name — keeps each review linked to the agent, the date, and the conversation it describes.
