I just got "coached" on one of my calls. I had to have a meeting with a supervisor about my lack of customer service skills. The guy repeatedly said over and over and over again that he was stupid, a moron, and couldn't understand. And I didn't agree with him. Come on. It's fundamentally wrong for me to disagree with a customer who says that. I mean, I encourage that kinda thinking... makes it easier for me to manipulate.. I mean help the customer. It's not like it's my fault that he actually took me serious when I told him to put the paper clip in the hole that says 120V. Besides, electrocution is a perfectly viable troubleshooting step, and if they don't call back I consider it a solved case. Some people. I actually used the line on this EXTREMELY stupid lady that her computer is broke because of magnetic distortions cause by solar radiation. Dumb Asses. Don't thank me, it's my job.
