IT/284

Scenario: Bill, a project manager from a financial firm, calls the computer support hotline and expresses his frustrations with the software he has just purchased from your company. He is a new customer and has little experience with how to use the software. After receiving the call from Bill the project manager I could tell by tone in his voice that he was very frustrated and irritated with his new software purchase. Therefore, in order to maintain the relationship that Bill has with our company I must convey a sense of professionalism and humility when it comes to guiding him through this process. Since I will be interacting with Bill by way of phone there are a few things that I would want to avoid; such as letting the phone ring too long because, I want to convey to Bill that we as a company value his business and answering the phone after two rings or less conveys efficiency and willingness to serve. And, by answering with a simple “Thank you for calling Software Industries” express appreciation to the client and proper courtesy titles are very important to maintain throughout the conversation as well. Maintaining a smile even over the phone is also important if I were to be mad or feeling stressed out it would be evident through my voice tones but by smiling it eases the client and lets me feel that I am willing to assist them throughout the call and it also brings their level of frustration down as well. I want to handle Mr. Smith’s (Bill) frustration by understanding what it is exactly that he’s upset about and I would ask him to help me understand by being empathic without arguing or defending the company. I would ask Mr. Smith what are some suggestions that he would consider while resolving this matter that could lead to reconciliation. The conversation in general is also important nothing turns a client off more than poor wording or abruptness; this in turn may cause the client to feel less appreciated. Some

    Although I like to think of myself as a good listener, I know at times I am a very impatient person and can be somewhat of a bad one. Not everyone can be good listeners all the time, with everything going on in our lives sometimes we just need to nod our heads at the non important things or answer “yes” without even knowing what were answering to. To be honest I probably use all of the negative listening types daily.…

    In Jimmy Carrasquillo’s essay, “Needing and Wanting Are Different,” the author emphasizes how his life was influenced by his priorities, particularly when he has to manage with his personal finances. Also, he mentions how during his adolescent years he has to find a job because he wants to be independent and earn his own money. He, as well talks about the demands that he has in his life and how he learned what is valuable and worthy to stand for. However, his school, work, and sport practices suffer because he does not have the time to prepare for them. At the end of the essay, Jimmy Carrasquillo summarizes how his experience has been helpful because he learned how to overcome the circumstances from the past and restrict himself to spend money on his needs. I agree with Jimmy Carrasquillo and his choice to find a job and become more independent, mature and responsible for his own actions. In fact, he has to deal with a lot more on his shoulders now than simply going to school and playing sports. He has to learn how to manage his time properly and to explore a different stage of his life.…

    The Things That I Need to Talk

    n my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since. ‘Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,’ he told me, ‘just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.’ He didn’t say any more but we’ve always been unusually communicative in a reserved way, and I understood that he meant a great deal more than that. In consequence I’m inclined to reserve all judgments, a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me and also made me the victim of not a few veteran bores. e abnormal mind is quick to detect and attach itself to this quality when it appears in a normal person, and so it came about that in college I was unjustly accused of being a politician, because I was privy to the secret griefs of wild, unknown men. Most of the condences were unsought—frequently I have feigned sleep, preoccupation, or a hostile levity when I realized by some unmistakable sign that an intimate revelation was quivering on the horizon—for the intimate revelations of young men or at least the terms in which they express them are usually plagiaristic and marred by obvious suppressions. Reserving judgments is a matter of in nite hope. I am still a little afraid of missing something if I forget that, as my faF B P B . …

    Customer didn’t had clarity w.r.t Microsoft Offerings : Some products had no support services, some offered unlimited "free" service that was accessed by phone via a "toll" number, and still others provided extensive telephone service "for fee". For customers, particularly those that owned and used several Microsoft products, the service offerings were confusing because it was difficult to know which service came with which product. Moreover, expert users felt that they were paying for services they didn't need on basic applications. At the same time, they could not get sophisticated support services on some of Microsoft's newly introduced line of highly technical advanced systems, even if they were willing to pay extra.…
