Comment on Ah, customer service
Delphia@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Customers are always pissed the first time you speak with them. When I have to call them I do a quick first call and let them know its immediately being worked on, ask them if theres any other information that might be helpful and Ill get back to them when I know something, they are ALWAYS better to deal with on the second call.
I do this because I can always get off the first call with “Respectfully, I’m not customer service. I’m the guy who fixes the problems and the longer I’m on this call is time I’m not fixing your problem. Now I need to go and I’ll call you as soon as I have a resolution”
People just want to be taken seriously.

Had this experience yesterday. I called in to get an update and the first guy was a dry jerkoff who would cut me off in a condescending tone. The second guy said virtually the same thing as the first guy, but let me speak a bit and ask a couple of questions, and that made everything 100x better.
In their defence its also a lot easier for me because I’m not in a call center, my calls arent recorded and I dont have scripts or churn times to adhere to. Customer service in a call center must absolutely be someones definition of hell.
I’ve point blank said to customers things like “Look, I appreciate that you’re upset. Please believe me that I am upset too, because I have to go ask that idiot why he did what he did, document the conversation and I guarantee you the answer wont be a clever one” and “This is definitely our fuckup, not that I should use language like that with customers but ‘mistake’ just doesnt cut it”

The typical customer service is 45 mins ++ of waiting on the line, to be greeted by an agent with a heavy Indian accent that will go through the script before having any chances to have a shot at maybe fixing your issue.
