  • 1. Always maintain a calm, collected tone
  • 2 . Before you call, outline the situation for yourself, and decide how you want it solved
  • 3. Always get the name of the person who answered the phone, even if you speak to them for only a moment
  • 4. When you get a CSR on the phone, immediately ask to speak to a supervisor
  • 5. Once you are connected with a supervisor, introduce yourself, and then inform the person that you have a situation that they are going to fix
  • 6. Explain your situation in a calm, even tone. Do not pause for them to respond until the entire situation/story has been told
  • 7. If the supervisor insists that your solution is outside of policy, ask for the full policy
  • 8. Listen carefully to the policy, then scan your list for solutions that fall within it
  • 9. At this point the person should be working with you for a solution. Continue to keep a calm tone until you reach an acceptable solution
  • 10. You SHOULD now have a solution
  • 11. If longer than the specified time goes past and the solution has not gone into effect, call the same number and ask for the person by name
  • 12. Keep your tone even. Introduce yourself immediately and ask to speak to a person who can solve your problem
  • 13. When you are connected, introduce yourself again. Repeat step 6
