New Customer Call

Anointed1 — Sat, 07 May 2022 13:32:18 GMT

Hi,
I have just made a call as new customer. I was enquiring whether the router would be directed to the Post Office, as I am not currently in the property.I was informed there wouldnt be a problem, which is all good.

However, when the young girl asked, would I like to proceed. I said, "No, because I'd prefer to do it online in a few days, as its quicker that way.

Before I could finish my sentence, she had abruptly slammed the phone dow and cut me off. This is outrageous, rude and highly offensive as a prospective customer.

Not a great experience I grant you.

However do consider from their side that they will be under some pressure to meet sales targets and she has probably just spent 15-20 minutes answering your questions to your satisfaction ... only to find she has "wasted" her time, in that having nearly landed the fish, it has slipped off her hook ... and her basket is still empty.

Dealing with cold calls, spending time giving all of the advice asked for ... only then to be told you'll order anther day can be soul destroying. We are all human!

It was one question in less than 30 seconds. There is obviously no CRM, training, quality or professionalism.
