customer care reps..

not all of them but the ones who transfer customers to my department just because they do not feel like dealing with the customer.

then i am the one who has to tell the customer that there is absolutely nothing i can do to help them.

c'mon people, do your job because i do not have the systems or the patience to do them for you. it is your customer. i will not explain to them why they can't do this or that. if it is your job to do, then grow up and do it.

What Dept are you in?

I had a rep who after I told her that I could not migrate business accounts told me she would try to find someone else, then immediatly transferred the cust... That's pretty much just as annoying. She knew I could not help him, and sent him to me instead of finding the number herself.

well i used to be in secondary sales, then they put me in blue divested markets during the completion of the merger but now that all markets were purchased i am working in the one and only blue add a line dept.

any att account that wants to add a line of service, yep that is my department. there are i think like 5 reps total so it really bothers me when reps cold transfer over customers who are just looking for blue equipment. i cannot and will not do that. ARGHHHHH!!!

i am in the sales dep and i know just how you feel they have cracked down on what we are able to do. we used to be able to do a lot of things from are dep but now if it is not a new activation or a add a line, we have to get them off of are line. and then we also have close ratio and if 75% of my calls are not sale calls then 15% of the sales calls i get don't have a credit card how am i supposed to get 20% close ratio?

well we can do aal's if they are blue with equipment but...

NOT

.if they are digital
.are on a sponsorship and/or business account
.are ACTIVE in collections and/or have a 30+ day outstanding balance
.are in a market that was currently divested
.already have 4 lines sharing or have reached their 5 line max.

and i can tell you that most of the transferred calls the rep has not checked to see if the cust. is eligible.

and yes, i used to handle the divested markets but my department was the sales and ssg for divested markets.
