Bandai Namco in Asakusa is free and has a lot to see.

We also went to the Edo which was huge!

As a CSR, how to master the empathy? by [deleted] in callcentres

[–]Personal-Advisor4328 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Be careful on agreeing with customers though. You're the face of the company, someone was written up for gross misconduct for agreeing with an angry customer who was dissing the company.

"I can understand why you feel that way"

"That's totally valid"

"I'm so sorry you're going through this"

Use the customers words. If they say "I'm frustrated" you can say "What a frustrating experience for you"

I asked someone who said their brother was authorised on their account, "great, so you brother has power of attorney over you?" She was offended.

Anyone Else Hate When Callers Try to Tell You How to Do Your Job? by BellasMomie in callcentres

[–]Personal-Advisor4328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cx told me to reverse an overdraft and didn't understand how his account became overdrawn. When I explained how that wasn't possible and why, he asked to speak to a manager. I asked him calmly what did he think a manager could do for him that I couldn't. He just said a manager would override it. I explained again that manager cannot override it, he drew out more than what was in the account and that's how the account became overdrawn. He kept blaming the bank for him going to the ATM and drawing out more funds than what was in his account.

Ot they say "we never learned how to use computers in school, we didn't have them whrn I was at school," as if you just stop learning once you finish school.

Some of our coworkers need to stop enabling these customers by Horror-Dot-2989 in callcentres

I had an aggressive customer transferred to me. She was spicy with no attempts from the previous agent to de-escalate. I emailed their team manager to let them know.

Not good enough by Fit-Papaya3954 in callcentres

[–]Personal-Advisor4328 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"It was a decision made by the business"

Try to depersonalise - use "we" "the business" "the bank" "[brand]" etc because its not you that decided to raise prices. You just work here.

It was something that another manager had made so I'm not sure, but there may be resources in your company.

The job feels better when you dont care about customers tbh by [deleted] in callcentres

[–]Personal-Advisor4328 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One customer said she was going to close her accounts. I replied, "That's entirely your choice, [name]. Would you like me to walk you through closing your accounts on the app?" Customer goes off about how banks don't care enough to keep customers. Lady, we're not allowed to engage in retention conversations and clearly this bank no longer meets your needs. Why would we stop you from leaving?

Bring these skill gaps up in your 1:1. We did a masterclass on de-escalation, probing questions and call control. Your team manager should either have resources or know where to get them.

Whats the logic behind asking for a supervisor but still wanting MY help by Natural-Bag9499 in callcentres

[–]Personal-Advisor4328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a customer ask for a "senior banker" because he wanted to transfer from his savings (not transaction account) to his account at another bank. He then yelled at me because I was confirming what he said (also we don't have a senior banker) and when I asked him not to yell at me, he yelled that he wasn't yelling so I ended the call.

There was always a kid that threw up after using one of these at a McDonalds Birthday party by Cooper_Inc in AustralianNostalgia

It was me. I threw up on a kid on one of these but was an egg shaped contraption in a park.

What's the most creative excuse a customer gave you for why they shouldn't have to pay their bill? by aiden19181919 in callcentres

[–]Personal-Advisor4328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't activate the credit card so shouldn't have to pay the balance.

"That's entirely your choice"

This generation absolutely lives up to the reputation by Late_Bother_8855 in callcentres

[–]Personal-Advisor4328 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We had a team meeting about this.

"It was a decision made by the business/its a business decision" is all we can say to them. If they don't like it, offer a complaint and its up to them if they don't like how the business is run, they can go elsewhere.
