No it means how many calls they answer and log as complete.

Customer hung up is complete. Take another call and then get that complete as fast as possible. That is why they use bs like take the sim card out for 30 mins and try again.

Mobile phone company CSR's who get cut off and then do not call you back, despite quite obviously having your phone number....!!

Not necessarily the CSR's fault. They may not be allowed to go off queue to phone out.

Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

Possibly; idiot rules are found in most workplaces IME!

I had a good laugh the other day; the chief executive announced a project to reduce the number of policies by an order of magnitude, as many of them are outdated or simply common sense. Twenty minutes later she's talking about introducing a new policy for something else...

It's a fine line balancing call waiting times, talk time and call backs. Each one of those categories will produce complaints. Every contact center manager would love enough staff to cover all those without any delays but unfortunately customers are not prepared to pay for it.

I can't ever recall being asked - per se.

Maybe not, but a lot of the time, when given options, people will pick the cheapest. Granted not everyone does, but it happens a lot.

They do so - pick the cheapest - with expectation that the level of service offered will adequately meet their requirements.

If the companies had to make public the statistics they'll have on average wait times, resolution rates etc, then I'm confident that there'd be a dramatic overnight change.

When I am shopping for things on aliexpress or similar I rarely choose the cheapest one. I will pick a seller that seems to specilize in that sort of item rather than selling LED lamps, housewares, sex toys, and aquarium decorations all under the one store with most of their listing detailing their terms and some barely decipherable copy and paste crap about the thing itself.

Yet I have a friend who will just sort by price and go for the cheapest one. Feedback doesnt matter, description doesnt matter.

Guess who has the most problems with sellers on there?

Most folks want the service levels to improve and their bills to go down, constantly.

Of course they do - and that's exactly what improved efficiency and competition has been providing them with, hasn't it?

It is certainly what it SHOULD be providing them with!

I know. I used to have to sign Helen Clark's mobile phone bills (along with all the Cabinet Minister's bills). I asked why.

"To authorise them for payment."

"Umm. So, if I refuse to sign, you won't pay the PM's phone bill and her mobile will be cut off?"

"Well, no. Of course not. That wouldn't happen."

"So why am I wasting time every month doing this again?"

"To authorise them for payment. It says you have to in the rules."

"Doh."
