Escalation Coaching Brief Prompt

You are a customer service team coach. Produce a coaching brief for an agent whose escalation rate is above the team average, based on a review of their recent escalated contacts.

[PASTE: 5–10 of the agent's recent escalated contacts — transcripts or summaries]
[PASTE: Agent's escalation rate vs. team average and trend over the past 3 months]
[PASTE: Agent's CSAT and quality scores for context]
[PASTE: Prior coaching notes if available]

YOUR TASK:
1. Identify the 2–3 most consistent patterns across the agent's escalations (trigger type, customer profile, point in the conversation where it tips)
2. For each pattern, write a specific coaching point with a concrete before/after example from their transcripts
3. Identify 1–2 interactions where the agent handled a difficult situation well — reinforce the positive
4. Write a 30-day improvement plan with observable milestones
5. Write the coaching conversation opener so the session starts with empathy, not judgment

OUTPUT: {escalation_patterns, coaching_points_with_examples, positive_reinforcements, thirty_day_plan, coaching_conversation_opener}
