5. CALLING BT CUSTOMER SERVICES

For many of us, the thought of calling a customer service hotline fill us with dread. Aside from the long holding time and irritating hold music, customer service representatives will usually make us want to tear our hair out.

 

However, fear not. Our five tips below will make your next call to BT’s customer service line so much more pleasant and efficient.

 

• Don’t Call During Peak Hours: Everyone is going to make a call the first thing in the morning or during lunchbreak. As a result, the waiting time before you can speak to a human will be long. So call during off-peak hours! It’s such a simple solution. In addition, make sure you are not busy when making the call. Otherwise, the stress of waiting will grow exponentially.

 

• Be Prepared: Get organised before making a call. Write down all the details pertaining to the call (you’ll be surprised at how often people forget important details), and keep all documentations close by. It’s also useful to note down the person you spoke to, as well as the time of the call – the recording might come in handy if the conversation turns south.

 

• Be Brief: Customer service agents handle hundreds of calls a day, and they certainly don’t need to hear long-winded stories about a problem they deal on a daily basis. Refer to your notes, and succinctly explain the nature of your call. They will appreciate your brevity.

 

• Be Calm: Angry people are less articulate and lose a little of their reasoning ability. Why would you want to handicap yourself in such a manner? Further, using the customer service agent as a punching bag will not convince them to go the extra mile for you. People are more willing to help those who are nice to them – it’s not rocket science.

 

• Escalate: If the agent you are speaking too cannot resolve your issue or answer your question, escalate the matter by politely asking to speak to a manager or supervisor. A little extra authority can sometimes solve all sorts of issues.

 

So, are you ready to make that call now?

 

 

6. ABOUT BT GROUP

BT Group is one of the largest telecommunication companies in the world, with direct presence in 180 countries. In UK, BT has the largest market share in the fixed line, broadband and mobile sectors. They also have considerable presence in the subscription TV and IT services sectors.

 

BT’s date of birth is a little murky, but it is definitely a descendant of the iconic Electric Telegraph Company which was formed in 1846. Alexander Graham Bell’s invention of the phone in 1878 triggered a chain of events which ended over a century later in 1980 when the Post Office Telecommunications division was renamed British Telecommunications. A decade later, in April 1992, British Telecommunications shortened its name to BT as part of a major rebranding exercise.
