I work in car insurance. Between 17:00 and 18:00 with have three people working. Then from 18:00 to 20:00 we have two. Our work hours change weekly, so if you were call two days in a row during this time you’re likely to get the same person.
Anyway this guy calls in. I recognised his voice but couldn’t place him.
He said he wants a quote to change his vehicle over. No problem. They’re easy to do.
Then he starts complaining that when he called in yesterday it took him half and hour to do a quote and was then told we couldn’t quote the vehicle. He was annoyed that it took so long and said it shouldn’t take that long and our system needs improving.
I remembered the call. He knew NOTHING about the car. He didn’t know how many seats it had. He didn’t know if it was a right hand drive (I’m UK based). If alarm or not. You name it, he didn’t know it.
I just put on my customer service voice and say that it should take between 5 to 10 minutes as long as you have all the information needed.
I asked him for his policy number.
He doesn’t have it.
I find his policy another way.
I asked what date he wants to run the quote for.
He doesn’t know.
After some umming and errring we pick a date.
I asked for the vehicle registration.
He doesn’t have it.
After 5 minutes of looking for it he decided to call back later. I’ll let you know if he does.
I always struggle not to laugh when the people who complain about wait/call times have nothing to hand. Like, you guys are the problem 🤣🤣
