Get Me Your SV

So champs, I'm just done with my shift and it refused to end without an escalation.

Customer called to ask for a supervisor and all what I did was asking for the reason why, and all what he did was cursing and hanging up.

So it came to my mind to ask for the best scenario to handle these types of calls and if asking for the reason behind the escalation is necessary or I've should have transferred him directly.

In the later, my SUP most probably will ask me why and I still won't have a good answer for it.

Have you been into a similar situation before, and how could you see the best way of handling it!


Appreciate it,

Sorry to hear that, people suck sometimes.

Never had to really deal with that situation, but I would ask why the would want to speak with them, maybe frame as you understand they are frustrated so giving the supervisor context can help them solve it quicker. If the get mad and hang up right away its on them.

However they continue to just ask for the supervisor without giving them a reason, i would just transfer them.

Again never been in this situation, but those are my thoughts!

You don’t know what got in his Cheerios. I’d use this one: “I’d be happy to transfer you sir, but before I do, there’s much I can do to assist and I’d like to help if you’ll allow me. And I’m already on the phone with you. So, to avoid putting you on hold again would you let me try?”

Hey I am sure there are some parameters documented by your quality control team - if it to directly transfer, just do it . Asking for a reason is never wrong but in order to alleviate his anger, I would always speak about why. I would frame something like ‘hey if you can let me know the reason, I can connect you with the right person who could help’ and mostly you will get a response.

If you don’t know why he asked to speak to your supervisor, it sounds like there was a failure of communication.

He was terribly angry in a way that didn't let him stand to explain or to tell the story again,sounds like he thought the SV was a magician,was trying to help out but wasn't allowed!
