    When the members get upset I tend to take it personally, I speak faster, it is obvious I get nervous and I provide poor service and just want to run out of the situation

    Hello Myra. I’m so happy to have found you! I have worked as a CSR for over 25 years but I’ve gained so much knowledge listening to your videos and your scripts are key and so helpful! I couldn’t believe how many questions you answered for me without me asking!!
    What I would like to hear you cover is how to handle a customer who’s power will be shut off for public, employee, and 1st responders safety?

    • @myragolden
      @myragolden  Před 3 lety

      Hi, Anna. Thanks for sharing your reaction with me. Your feedback made my day!
      Here's how I'd respond to the customer who's power will be shut off for the public, employee, and first responders safe.
      Recognize the customer's concern in one sincere sentence: "We know our scheduled power will be inconvenient for customers."
      Positively position the outage: "We turn the power off to _______(precise reason, i.e., prevent wildfires, protect first responders, keep communities safe)."
      Give tips on how to manage during the outage: Share any tips your utility has prepared. For example, how can customers stay online for remote work and school from home (Perhaps suggest getting the hotspot feature on a cellphone, etc.)
      Put together; it will look like this:
      "We know our scheduled power will be inconvenient for customers. We turn the power off to _______(precise reason, i.e., prevent wildfires, protect first responders, keep communities safe). Our customers have found helpful in continuing remote work and virtual learning during planned outages to get a cellphone plan with a hotspot."
      I hope this helps you, Anna!

      I find offering to send them the information by email helps with this & enables you to close the call. Links to info on your own company website or other reputable sources is better than your own statement (as you're less likely to be in trouble if the info isn't correct and your company's indemnity insurance might not cover written advice).

    Really great tips so far - I shall certainly try your method to get caller to focus with closed questions. The subjects our advice line covers are often complex, but we have been told calls should only take 7 minutes on average. I would like to know best ways to reduce call handling time, stop callers talking over me and to not have to repeat what I've told them. Thank you.

One of my clients is an auto finance company, and I’ve helped them politely collect during challenging times. I’ll share some of the strategies I used for that training in a soon to drop video.

    I now you already did this challenge, but I want to add my thoughts. My (our) challenge are two fold. Managers who don't back us up and Corporate who allow their entitled customers to have/do whatever they want. I've worked for Amazon, Hilton and Marriott and those guests/customers feel soooo entitled, it doesn't matter how many times you are assertive, either the manager or Corporate will tell you to "give them whatever they want' (Amazon LEGIT told my TM "Give the customer whatever the #&#* they want, just make them happy). How do you deal with that?

    Hi, I am not new on the channel and I love it, I just wanted you to know. I work for a call center, but an English coach for agents, I am from Costa Rica. I would love if you can consider one of our issues since we’re not native speakers. Sometimes our customers feel uncomfortable or unease when they realize there’s a foreign accent. That makes our agents feel self-conscious and for us is also kind of offensive. I don’t know if you have to deal with customer service representatives that have had to cope with this. If so, please consider this as a topic for a future video. And, once again, thank you for everything you do.

      Here's an example of how you can firmly explain your position to your customer:
