We’ve all been on the phone and heard the disclaimer: “This conversation may be recorded for quality control purposes.”
But if you’ve
imagined a board room filled with caring experts who are sharing your phone
call with other caring employees who take notes and strive to improve, I’m
afraid you—like me—are imagining things.
Incredibly, my
insurance company has you evaluate your helper, right to the helper. The employee
literally says, “On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate my service today?”
Seriously! No private evaluation, just telling them to
their face. Okay, their ear. And you don’t
want to say “three” because that’s like insulting them. But what if it was
dreadful and really is a three? I’m
guessing they’ll never know because most people will just say “10” to avoid an
argument.
It’s also puzzling
why they all say, “Listen carefully, as our menu has changed,” when it hasn’t
changed one whit.
But I give my books a big fat 10, and hope you will,
too. Find ‘em all right here.
