Well we here in the insurance world do not think that its funny. Customer call in upset that they were never advised that something was not covered or they had to pay a deductable. I'm just saying if you're not going to explain it right then just tell them to call the insurance company.

That's very sad that you would want cause trouble with someone else's job. Doesn't make much difference cause 65% of the time the claim is rejected anyway and we direct them back to the store. Why are they rejected? Because store reps like you failing to perform your job and explaining what you are selling a customer.

It's basically our company motto. Not sure what to do? Just make **** up until the customer ends the call. It's the key to a productive company. Haha.

Its a good way to improve CSAT scores, We tell the customer what they want to hear, when they get the survey, they give us all great scores, then when they talk to whoever who tells them how it really is, they get mad, and when they get that survey, gives them all bad scores, doenst have any effect on us.

Its how we were trained, doesn't matter how bad we make the carrier look, as long as it makes this Third party vendor seem like it puts out great customer servise, we'll just pick up other clients and do the same thing.

or perhaps the customer does not understand the explaination correctly, i have had several customers after hearing my speil ask me a question that is totally off kilter from what i just told them, people hear what they want to hear sometimes and thats life in general, not just cell phones.

I agree with you totally. But there are some that blatently provide wrong information.

I think there are three reasons for this....
1. store rep just wants to make the customer happy by telling them whatever they want to hear.
2. store rep gives the customer the right information, but the customer only hears what they want to hear and totally misinterprets what the clerk said.
3. Store rep gives the customer the right info. Customer understands exactly what the store rep is saying. Then has a problem with the phone and just makes up what they want and plays dumb...in order to get what they want.

The blame can be placed so many places, but customers are notorious for hearing only what they want to hear.
