Make the channel and context clear
Specify whether you worked by phone, email, live chat or face to face. Explain the types of enquiries and the systems you actually used rather than relying on generic phrases about excellent service.
Use a real resolution example
Describe how you listened, clarified the issue, checked the options and helped the customer. Avoid including identifying customer details or confidential account information.
Keep performance evidence honest
Include customer feedback or service measures only when you can support them. A clear example of a difficult enquiry handled well is useful even without a numerical result.

A common mistake to avoid
Avoid promises such as resolving every complaint or achieving perfect satisfaction unless those claims are verifiable.
