Re: So my call center's playing classical music today
We had some latin music on sunday today we have "fly me to the moon" and other Sinatra songs playing.
dial one digit wrong and see who answers.....
The hardware upgrades number for store reps to call is one digit different from a cheap motel number on the other side of the country. One of my coworkers called them today by accident and they tried to upgrade his room for him and sell him a vacation package :D .
yea right!!!
LOL We could buy out most of the states since they are all being foreclosed on.
Re: Canada Forum
I can tell your a product of the american public school system. :D
when did that start???
When did that pricing start? i worked for rogers until a few weeks ago and never heard of that pricing.
Re: Rudest thing I have ever said to a customer...
When i worked for the cable department I had a custy dispute some payperview charges. He demanded to know the titles so i read them all out to him in the store, when he ordered, when he watched them and their cost. I then told him if he wanted a lower bill then he should stop watching porn on cable. I was able to sell him some Internet at a good low introductory price.
Dave Chapelle has the solution.
He suggests we all become very open with our racism and make sure we are equal about it. Don't be hating somebody more then the other now children. It seemed more logical then the politically correct way. lol
Re: I make as much as a McDs Team leader now!!!!!!!
I was making $1.50 above minimum now the new hires will make the same as me since the company starts people $0.75 over the minimum.
Have you ever had the Subway apple pies? They are amazing!!! They are bigger then the McDs and better!!!
Re: I make as much as a McDs Team leader now!!!!!!!
What really gets me is that even our competitors gave their employees a raise to match the minimum and my company goes and cuts our commissions as well.
I think its time i set fireworks off in my store dumpster again (it was an accident last year I SWEAR!!).
Re: 911 Emergency Use Only.
Set up a prepaid just to get the phone as mentioned in the last post. But be aware that 911 Will be the only number you can call after that expires.(30 days) You will also lose the phone # and repeated calling for none emergency purposes of 911 will increase the wait time for an operator. I am assuming your in Canada so go to a national carrier for your phone (bell, telus, rogers, fido) I usually just recommend ...
Re: I had to share!
I hate when people like that are such hypocrites.
I make as much as a McDs Team leader now!!!!!!!
So minimum wage went up by 75 cents in my area last week. Most companies applied raises to keep people from leaving, my company did jack all. I discovered i would actually make more hourly if i went to McDs as a team leader!!!!!!! :evil: :? :?
Would you like fries with that?
Does it really pay to remain with a company for a long period of time?
Same in retail
The same thing happens in retail. After training everybody is perky and happy to listen to a customer drone on about some problem. After about 3 weeks you can start to see their eyes glaze over as soon as a customer starts talking. That blank stare tells you they realized the company has stolen their soul.
YES!!!!
Crown Corperations!!!!
monkey see monkey do
One starts doing it and the rest seem to follow. That sucks that no emp discount though.
Re: cableness (a memoir)
thats amazing!!! I was the last guy in my area on dial up...then it got disconnected. Ive been stealing high speed from my neighbor for about 2 years. You'd think with my discounts id have got my own by now....whatever I'm saving 10 bucks a month!!!! :D
Re: Our savior is a sprint customer
My store is next to a church. I had a priest in full robes come in and stand in line to pay his bill while the church was getting filled for a wedding.
cableness (a memoir)
I just cut the cable since most people will disconnect after the promo. plus cable is cheaper in my area then dish. So i just tell the custy ill see them in 6 months and in most cases i do.
Re: Why is it so hard to find good help?
WOW.....Just WOW........
Re: Price Matching
Ive lost so much commission to walmart, best buy and franchise stores. I have to stick to the price as dictated by head office no bargaining. The same goes for accessories, no discounts what so ever.
Re: Most sms evar!
what phone did she have? /;|
pin vs sms
I was told by our tech guys that all txt for the carrier are stored on servers for 72 hours and then deleted. For blackberry pin messages their system is different since they go to a RIM server before bouncing back to our networks and RIM doesn't store the messages. I believe thats why the government uses blackberry's since a PIN is pretty well untraceable. France banned the use of blackberry's in government offices a few years ago since ...
I have it far worse
I have to sell homephone, internet, wireless internet, cable and then finally wireless. :?
Re: The way I want to quit
I want to get a really angry custy, somebody who's just flippin out and look them in the face and say "Sir I don't really give a s*** and for the love of all humanity have a tictac" and walk out.
Re: Sprint AND Motorola Heading The Way of The Dinosaurs?
ill miss the razers and all the HUPs they brought me when they all broke.
Re: Text messaging
We all have blackberries and are continuously on them. Even the management will be checking their emails while on the floor. Besides where would we be with out mass-pin-messaging when an attractive cust walks in or when one of our favorite screamers come for their monthly b****ing?
Re: HEY FELLOW WIRELESS EMPLOYEES
If I'm not getting paid to listen to you i simply wont and i will gladly inform you of that.
Re: Pain in the but customers
Especially when they think their entitled to special treatment. Such as "Wada you give me dat blueberry for free?"
I take it all back
Rogers, Bell and Telus are doing good, a little snowed in though. I take back my earlier post. It snowed none stop all day and the roads where a mess tonight. Not biblical proportions but bad enough some people should have stayed home.
Over exaggeration of the weather.
So this snow storm that we've been hearing about all week finally shows up today in Toronto. After all the bright red weather warnings and the 24 hour news updates on TV I was expecting something of biblical proportions. Its a major disappointment, we only got about a foot (30cm) of the fluff. I'm sick of the TV stations getting everybody into a panic and over exaggerating the weather. ITS NOT THAT BAD!!! We do live in Canada and ...
Re: Whats the weirdest thing a customer asked you???
did you use the exoticphone voice? (deep smooth and sexy)
Re: OMG, im in shock!!
I cant help but think one of my coworkers would have pointed at his hose and start laughing.
Re: Whats the weirdest thing a customer asked you???
LOL!!! We are always told to interact more with our custys.
Re: Best customer name ever
I get alot of Russian last names that wont fit into our name input field. i have no hope of ever pronouncing them.
Ive seen a Max Power and A. Pest (his license said Alfred, but his account was just A.)
mandatory hours.....
So I have to work a mandatory 3 shifts a week at my store plus I'm in school full time.
For those of you out there in school still how do you balance school and work? I'm having problems only doing three shifts and keeping up with my papers. Are there companies that will only let you work 1 or 2 shifts?
Re: Whats the weirdest thing a customer asked you???
I had an older custy (43) ask me (21) if I'm into older woman. This would have been great if her 20 year old daughter wasn't there.
Re: these peolple always amaze me daily...
I guess the stereotypes had to originate somewhere.
Re: Your only responsibilities
and of course its our fault we don't apply a GPS tracker on every piece of equipment. :D
YES!!!
We will all say "no" because it is the politically correct thing to say. :D But we all know it does depending on what area your store is in. I just become knowledgeable in my products and if somebody doesn't want to do business with me then thats their loss.
Re: The mighty split
I make about the same with each. The problem is there is a 60 day hold on wireless commissions and a 2 week hold on the others.
