While working in the call center as a team, we were tasked to work on customer retention and my role was to actively listen to customers and come up with retention measures, how we can retain the customers. And I also contributed by sharing certain techniques and certain ways of trying to retain customers with my colleagues. That way, we reached our target of retention.
Firstly, it's acknowledging that the customer, the customer's frustration, making sure that they see that you are empathetic towards them and their current situation. And secondly, take down all the details of the customer and what the query is. If it's, I can resolve it there and then. If it wasn't a query that I could resolve there and then, I would actually resolve it. But if I need to escalate it to the next department, I would advise the customer that I'm escalating this to the next department. And then I'll keep you informed and updated on how things are until we find a resolution to the issue.
Firstly, I acknowledged the customer's frustration, and then I showed empathy by making sure that they understand that I understand their frustration. And then I wrote down all the details of the customer and what the query was. And then obviously, I kept the customer informed the whole time as I was writing down all this information. And then if the matter needs to be escalated, I will advise that I'll escalate it to the next department. Also, if we need to troubleshoot, we try a number of options to see how we can resolve the query. If it's unresolvable by me, then I'd escalate it to the relevant one.
Well, when I was working for Celsi, you'd get customers calling in because they're getting double debited every month and they'd actually want to cancel their contracts. So I ensured that I take down all the details. I made sure that the debit order date was one date because they were getting debited on two different dates. I sorted out that issue with the customer and then we managed to retain the relationship. So we managed to retain the relationship with the customer. So yeah.
