Additionally, assessment tests can help you assess your customer service training program and identify areas that need improvement.

What is a customer service skills test?

A customer service skills test is a tool used to measure an individual’s ability to provide customer service. Typically, a customer service skills test includes a variety of questions that assess an individual’s knowledge of customer service principles and practices. Additionally, many customer service skills tests measure an individual’s ability to solve problems and handle difficult customer interactions. Customer service skills tests are useful for hiring managers and recruiters looking to incorporate skills based hiring in their recruitment strategy.

What are some examples of customer service skills test questions?

Some common customer service skills test questions include:

  • There has been a misunderstanding with a new client on the sorts of results that they could obtain from using our software, although this was explained to them during sales and onboarding. The client blames you for this and writes a very tense email. How would you approach and resolve this situation?
  • A customer you have never met before and only communicated with via email has agreed to meet virtually. How would you begin a customer call? Talk through how you would introduce yourself and what questions would you ask to make the customer feel at ease and to start getting to know them.
  • Your customer success team has told you repeatedly that another area of the business who they rely on are not responding in a timely manner and this is impacting customers. How would you work with that department’s leader to resolve this issue and what would you suggest?
  • One of your CSMs is underperforming and is set to not meet their KPIs for the quarter. Explain how you would talk to them and what would you recommend to help set them back on course for success?
