【正确答案】Complaints about employees' manner of answering phone calls Our customers like to call the store. We get hundreds of calls a day. They ask about the hours of operation, whether an item is available, or whether a sale has begun or ended. They call. However, some of our employees don't seem to like to answer customer calls. During the month of October, for instance 120 complaints were received by the office about the manner in which our employees answered telephone calls.
The most common complaint is rudeness. Customers report that our employees are curt, impatient, and in some instances, actually abusive. The next most common complaint is that they don't understand the employees, employees are said to speak quickly, to mumble, and in some case to talk with what sounds like food in their mouths.
The third most common complaint is that the telephones are always busy. One customer complained that she was unable to get through to us for three days. It could be possible that the telephones were taken off the hook from time to time.
As we approach the Christmas season, we can expect the volume of calls to departments in the store to increase. We can't afford to have our customers treated in the manner described above. Therefore, we need to conduct one-hour training sessions on proper telephone etiquette. All employees need to be scheduled to attend one of these sessions on different dates, and a schedule should be worked out.
