I know you probably get scored somehow on your handle time, but that's a really crappy thing to do. Lying to customers & forcing unnecessary transfers is the unfortunate stereotype given to call center workers, You're doing nothing but living up to that stereotype.

ok first of all i didnt care about the average handle time which is important but still i didnt care and second of all you can only try giving me your pin/password 3 times they gave it to me 5 times, i was suppose to xfer them by the 3rd pin, so if i were to go into the acct by the 5th pin ill get in trouble. any thing else u like to add?

That should have been explained in your post. I was in no position to assume that there was some sort of limit to the guesses based on your discussion with them.

Why did you keep talking to them? Just tell them after 3 guesses they have to be transferred.

"Why did you keep talking to them? Just tell them after 3 guesses they have to be transferred."

Because sometimes they get it, and first call resolution is a big thing that we try to go for. Its a juggling act...

Jeffatt is right, just say I'm sorry after 3 guesses you must speak with a care rep *transfer*

Its not about getting it. The rule is 3, then transfer and wowwataday said getting in at 5 tries gets him in trouble. Sounds like a done deal at 3.

First call resolution, is great... he transferred anyway at 5.

umm dumbass you can only try to verify the acct 3 times after that you have to xfer them to cust care because it can be considered fraud and ill get fired! its like saying you'll give me $100 if i guess the number you are thinking from 1-10 and you only give me 3 tries and i get all 3 tries wrong and i know i can get it on the 4th try but you wont let me does that mean your lazy to not give me another try????

well have you ever heard of taking ownership of a call? or going above and beyond for a cust.? i mean i have done alot of stuff, that i'm not supposed to and i'm still here, i don't think you would get fired, for a one timer unless you really suck at your job, then i would understand why you are so worried about getting fired, but other than that my mind is cleared, if i do transfer a call, its because i actually have to, in other words i have done everything i could possibly have done for them... and just out of curiosity what system do you use?

It's my first call, like i normally do is present myself and ask for the CX's name to who im talking to..this is when the funny part comes in (yeah i know first call)it's takes the cx 45 sec for the cx to give me his name...

But the funny thing is that when i was asking him for the password and had to wright down his complete name, so i get frustrated, so with a smile on my face nicely i ask him for his first name again, so he tells me that (HE DOSENT KNOW)!!!...so i hear him tell the person next to him that I'm asking for his name and what SHOULD HE DO...yeah i know its sucks..but it's my job!!.. ๐Ÿ˜•

People get like that. Like girl A calls, gives you acct holder's name B. and girl A is not on the acct, so you tell her that the acct holder has to call and authorize her. and you make your notes and close the call. Then girl A calls back says she is acct holder B. You make the claim, because that is what you are supposed to do. Then when they want to pay their deductible they give you the name on the card as girl A. So you ask if girl A is available. And girl A says I am the card holder. And so you then have to cancel the claim because unauthorized user has made a claim.

what department for sprint do you work for that you get to bail calls to customer care??

More to the point, the "get in trouble" that you are referring to is no more then the same "get in trouble" for having a high handle time, especially since you already blew it by giving them 5 shots at it, if they got it right and you still xfer'd them, you are wrong and would get in trouble.

It shouldn't have to be explained nearly as much as it has. The entire point of transferring the call via the 3 time rule was to get the pin number..you had the pin number, thus there was now no need to xfer the call, you are CALL AVOIDING, and that is actually a terminable offense, much worse then "trying 3 times and not xfer'ing the call" or high handle time...

ok first of all i wont get "in trouble" for aht like quality i will get fired for just telling you that right now. second of all your not QA so you have no idea what your talking about. 3rd the part that was my fault was when u read the post i said "they got it right the 5th time" which was a mistake cause they didnt get it right because they gave me the same number from the 4th time so that was my fault and i apologize and call avoidance basically means this.
Me: can i have the pin?
cust: 123456
Me: nope srry gotta xfer you to cust care buh bye.
thats call avoidance if QA hears that call they wont say anything cause i was right and im willing to bet money on it

Honestly, I've never run into a real problem with anyone I've had to call in a Sprint call center. Whether I was calling as a customer or as an employee, everything always went fine. I thought it was just a knock against Sprint because we all have to talk bad about the company we don't have or work for. But, you proved me wrong and everyone else right.

First, Care cannot give anyone their PIN number. Care cannot see a PIN. There are two ways to get them the information. First you can send it to them by the method they've set up. Second, they can take two forms of ID to a store and have it reset.

Second, lying to a customer is never the right thing to do. You performed an invalid transfer of a customer that now DID know their PIN and ...

Level 3 Bypass that lets them in the account and can locate their pin in CSM without getting a PIN or security question answered. I am an Order Support agent for Sprint and there is a bypass option in CSM that lets you by-pass the PIN and security question.

ya im sure your supervisor is just saying "whatever if hes doing it right" if the customer provided you with the correct PIN, and you denied to help them, then you are not doing your job right. You could have easily provided them information once you accessed the account since you had the correct PIN. your there to help the customer, you didn't help them by transferring them, they were already with you and you transferred them because you were to lazy to after they gave you a few incorrect pins, thats why there is a security question. incase they forget their pin.

New account on sprint has a mandatory greeting call meaning the first call theymake from the cell phone goes directly to sprint. Sprint then goes over their plan to make sure exactly what they signed up for. Sprint also goes over exactly what they get billed for. This is when the customer asks them questions they may have. If they find out from them, or another sprint dealer somewhere else, or just any human being, or are capable of reading, that you lied to them...what I mentioned will happen. Everyone here will attest to that.
