    Why should you avoid “dead air” on a call?

    • It makes the customer uneasy

    • You gain confidence when you have dead air on the call

    • It forces the customer to give you more information

    • You shouldn’t, it is a good call control tactic

    Correct Answer
    A. It makes the customer uneasy
    Explanation
    Dead air refers to periods of silence or lack of communication during a call. This can make the customer feel uncomfortable and uncertain, as they may interpret the silence as disinterest or lack of attention from the representative. Maintaining a continuous flow of conversation helps to build rapport and trust with the customer, ensuring a positive customer experience. Therefore, it is important to avoid dead air on a call to keep the customer at ease and engaged in the conversation.

    You should always use the mute button on your phone in order to filter out extraneous noise.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Using the mute button on your phone is not always necessary to filter out extraneous noise. It depends on the specific situation and the level of noise present. While muting the phone can be helpful in certain cases, such as during a noisy environment or when you don't want others to hear your background noise, it is not a universal solution. In some situations, adjusting the volume or finding a quieter location may be more appropriate. Therefore, the statement "You should always use the mute button on your phone in order to filter out extraneous noise" is false.

    Who said “If you make customers unhappy in the physical world, they might each tell 6 friends.  If you make a customer unhappy on the Internet, they can each tell 6,000 friends” 

    • Stephen Covey

    • Jeff Bezos

    • John Russel

    • Ross Perot

    Correct Answer
    A. Jeff Bezos
    Explanation
    Jeff Bezos said, "If you make customers unhappy in the physical world, they might each tell 6 friends. If you make a customer unhappy on the Internet, they can each tell 6,000 friends." This quote highlights the power of the internet and the potential for negative experiences to be amplified through online platforms. Bezos, as the founder and CEO of Amazon, understands the importance of customer satisfaction and the potential impact of negative word-of-mouth in the digital age.

    Which of these is not one of the six steps to a good customer service call?

    • Issue Determination

    • Call Direction

    • Troubleshooting

    • Sympathizing

    Correct Answer
    A. Sympathizing
    Explanation
    Sympathizing is not one of the six steps to a good customer service call. The six steps typically include issue determination, call direction, troubleshooting, providing solutions, offering additional assistance, and ensuring customer satisfaction. While sympathizing with the customer's situation is important, it is not considered a separate step in the process. Instead, it is often incorporated into the overall communication and problem-solving approach during the call.

    Which of these is not a benefit of Active Listening/Empathetic Listening?

    • Reduces tension

    • Builds Trust

    • Encourages information gathering

    • Allows you to get your point across

    Correct Answer
    A. Allows you to get your point across
    Explanation
    Active listening or empathetic listening is a communication technique that focuses on fully understanding and engaging with the speaker. It involves giving full attention, paraphrasing, and providing feedback to the speaker. While active listening has numerous benefits, such as reducing tension, building trust, and encouraging information gathering, it does not prioritize getting one's point across. Instead, active listening emphasizes understanding the speaker's perspective and promoting effective communication by acknowledging their thoughts and feelings.

    Which of the following is not an aspect of a good call closing?

    • Verify the problem is resolved

    • Advise them of their support hours

    • Cover the troubleshooting steps that were taken

    • Thank them for calling

    Correct Answer
    A. Advise them of their support hours
    Explanation
    Advising the caller of their support hours is not an aspect of a good call closing because it is not directly related to resolving the caller's problem or providing them with necessary information. While it is important to thank the caller for calling and to verify that the problem is resolved, and to cover the troubleshooting steps that were taken, advising them of support hours is not a crucial component of a good call closing.

  • 10. 

    Which of these is not  a question to ask yourself when trying to empathize with the customer?

    • In the end, what would make this customer satisfied or (better yet) happy, and is there any reason I can't do it or find someone who can?

    • How does the person I'm trying to help feel?

    • No matter the request or the "rules," is there something I can/should do to help?

    • How can I get them fixed as fast as possible?

    Correct Answer
    A. How can I get them fixed as fast as possible?
    Explanation
    The question "How can I get them fixed as fast as possible?" is not a question to ask yourself when trying to empathize with the customer because it focuses solely on finding a quick solution without considering the customer's feelings or satisfaction. Empathy involves understanding and addressing the customer's emotions and needs, rather than prioritizing speed.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The correct answer is False because the statement suggests that in the given situation, it is necessary to send an email to the supervisor, Tech EVP, Legal, and the customer. However, this may not always be the case. Depending on the specific circumstances, it may not be required or appropriate to involve all these parties.
