Hilarious Comcast Call Center Training Video

[@BobSince1981]

I used to work in a call center. A guy was mad about his bill and told me he was going to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge. I said "We would hate to lose you as a customer sir".

[@Niko-ys9ie]

He was probably asking you to do the jumping. I understand why you would have been confused about that seeing as though you worked in telemarketing

[@hwezda]

What a dick thing to say.

[@blackfalcon1324]

Customer service is telemarketing?

[@djLagwayEnjoyer]

@@Niko-ys9iecustomer service is quite literally the opposite of telemarketing. As a former customer service rep we did not want people calling us and tried to get off the phone as fast as possible. That’s like the exact opposite of telemarketing

[@richardsmyth1958]

I am assuming the customer signed a contract agreeing to this beforehand, you know those documents that only lawyers actually know what the hell is in them. The Company would need this agreement, or they would open themselves up to a lawsuit. Of course, have fun explaining that to a customer, they aren't going to be happy with that. No one knows that they are agreeing to random price hikes, anytime it suits the company. Part of the problem is that Comcast is the only cable company in many areas of the company, so they get away with this, since there is no competition to keep them honest and competitive on prices.

[@Emanouche]

I just quit my call center job for a smart home company... One of the reasons was that I was sick and tired of bullsh*tting the customer. Actually I'm surprised I wasn't fired, a customer called one time having a problem with her system and she was still in the period that she could cancel the service and reverse the contract (Which she would be locked in for a few years), I saw that and then told her "I can send a tech for free because you are within 30 days of installation but are you aware that you will have to pay 200$ for any future technician visits after that?" - "What!? I did not know that, I don't agree to that! I want to cancel" - "I would be happy to transfer you to our customer loyalty team and they can help you with that" - "Yes, please! And thank you for letting me know. " - " You are very welcome, thank you for calling ____ , I'm transferring you now". 🤣 I did that only once, but it's hard if you are a person of morals to carry on such bullcrap.

So, I actually applaud their lack of caring because it means if I slightly inconvenience them by calling. It'll get me exactly what I want.

ROFLMAO. This is totally unrealistic, worked in call centers way too long, there isn't a customer out there that would just accept this. This would have ended up being escalated to a supervisor. I've had customers argue over a 2-3 cent discrepancy, because of a pro-rated bill that got changed on the last day of the billing cycle, and that is a valid charge. I'm assuming that Comcast, probably has this buried in the customers Terms & Conditions that they signed when they first enrolled, otherwise, they can't just raise the price whenever they feel like it.

Just a little tidbit, when you call in screaming, plz try and remember that the person on the line you waited 30 minutes to speak to did nothing to you and wants to help you, but when you’re screaming and yelling right off the bat, it’s very difficult to get anything accomplished whatsoever. You get more help if you’re kind. Frustrated is ok. The agent gets it. But think of how your own brain works when someone is screaming at you, and then consider the fact that upon answering your call, the rep only knows whether you’re calling for billing or for repair. It’s very difficult to help someone when they acting belligerent and yelling at the top of their lungs.

[@dondamon443]

What I find disturbing about Comcast and rates that get raised is the they normally sign you for a multi-year contract. And in my book that means that once you are in that contract, they should not be allowed to raise the rates, unless they change the contract. It's just poor business practice to stiff a customer for 5-15 dollars more on their contract because "they had to raise the rates". That's part of doing business.

That's how they get you, people need to read their contracts... I worked for a smart home company and their crappy system breaks all the time, then customers are always surprised that they have to pay for a technician to come fix it because they are still under contract and paying for their equipment. - "Why should I pay a tech when I'm still paying a premium each month to finance my equipment!" - " It's just like taking a loan for you car, though you are still paying the bank for it you still own the car and have to pay the mechanic when it needs to be fixed..." "That's BS I've NEVER agreed to that!" - "It's also under section 5 of your contract where it says that you agree to any technician fees that may arise to come fix your system" - "I don't remember EVER signing anything like that" - "I also have a copy of said signed contract right in front of me with your signature on it, would you like me to send you a copy via e-mail..." - "but... but..." 😰- "If you wish you can pay a little extra of 10$ a month for our premium service plan that includes free technician visits when needed..."

On that call I would say "You got to be kidding, how much they need? Lets take a look...good grief you already paying $275 a month for cable and internet! Holy smokes! Last month and next is $550 balance! I couldnt do that, lets see...4 boxs, get rid of those, buy your own modem, and cable?

Just get the internet for your TV you have more then you could ever watch, trust me. And no commercials, you'll never watch cable again I can't IDK how people do it. That would take you to $80 a month! Everyone is doing it, do you still use 8 tracks? Buggy whip? Talk to a young person they'll tell you how it works. And you have outages all the time? Thats because all that money you pay don't go to maintain your network, all that money goes to buy new accounts, thats why its always going on and off, it will only get worse. No problem its been my pleasure now get out of here and thank you for choosing comcast ha ha!" And thats it, a co worker said "I dont care anymore I tell people the truth!"

I closed on my home on March 15th, 2018, the next day I called comcast for the phone, internet and TV package. The next day comcast had my credit card cancelled, it took almost 2 hours on the phone with my credit card company. That Sunday I received my package. I couldn't set up the TV box, plugged it in there was no light. On the phone with a Comcast rep, she said we'll have you up and running, even 'though I told her it did not light up. 45 minutes later she says, "duh, it must be broken". For the next 3 days I couldn't even sigh into my account, they created an imaginary person with the same name as myself and used an old address of mine that I never gave them, sending my bill to an old address. They wanted me to pay extra for HD, I declined. Right now I would be paying over 30 dollars more a month for HD. I was able to get over 50 channels with an antenna all in HD. Comcast gets the same signal, but charges you a broadcast fee after they turn in into crap. Four years later, the present, I decided to cut the cord. I was paid up for the previous billing cycle. Everything was shut off except the internet. They wanted to charge me over $250 dollars for the next billing cycle, I have solid proof of this. This was the 2nd time I filed a complaint with the FCC, both times Comcast Headquarters agreed with me. After I returned in my TV box, 2 days later they send me some kind of TV streaming box, even thought I had no TV service, LOL The day before I told them I did not want or need it. The rep had multiple boxes of the same TV box on a shelf behind him, he said my order was being sent. I told him it was not my order, it was their order, he got angry and tossed the box on the shelf. When I eat at a restaurant the waitress doesn't' say, here's my order for you. I told the rep semantics does not work with me. So much for their lame excuse of the "computer is never wrong". BS. Now "I" have to return this TV box or be charges $120.00 dollars. They cannot take responsibility for their mistakes, only real men can do that. They got greedy, now they get nothing. I now have a phone and internet from T-Mobile, saving over $120.00 a month. No TV. If you do not want cable TV, T-Mobile is the way to go. I'm 73 years old and never had to deal with such a disgusting company like Comcast. Their BBB rating is 1 , only because you cannot enter a Zero. Update; Two weeks after cancelling my Comcast service TV+phone+ internet, I got 39 scam phone calls. and 3 - 5 scam calls since then. What they do not know is that I only use that number for family and friends. Before Comcast sold my phone number or whatever they did with it, I would only get on average 5 or 6 scam calls a year for the last 10 years. No one is going to tell me this is just a coincident.

This big telecommunications companies push for services that you don't want, and they there are no simple internet companies available.

[@labeld]

I don’t understand how Comcast can enforce a contract on the customer’s end when they do not have to do the same on theirs.

[@jmjn916]

They do read your contract

[@IsabelCristina-ke9il]

In the second time also the customer was nicer at the beggining and of how she asked why the bill was increasing If you treat well its easier for agents to resolve the issue for you

[@jayabando6719]

Oh boy! Call Center job is not as easy as it seems especially with telco companies. It's a walk in a park, except you will be greeted by Tyrannosaurus and Pterodactyls.

[@nevadasmith1942]

yeah that still doesn't stop the amt going up and even the cx talked differently when she "called in " the second time around and so easily accepted the answers why the price went up because she could take advantage of free services not

[@RideronthestormIreland]

In the end she never asked if there is anything more she could help with and she never thanked the customer for calling Comcast.

[@shawnbotin6892]

Did I really wait the whole video out for there to be some type of meme and there was none ....

[@kevin080592]

good heavens!!!..have worked in comcast offshore philippines office for a year and a half.. this brings alot of insane and head bumping memories!!..comcast is a TOXIC account to work with mind you

[@eddyeddyd]

This is some of the best rule 34 I've ever seen

[@thejanitor769]

Rule 35 is better though

[@VCJunkie]

So remember, when dealing with a customer, there’s the wrong way and then there’s the Comcast wrong way!

[@foreverfromhell]

Can you give me just a minute to comment that I just came from a ytp?

[@danpolshaw2004]

It makes me feel good you are still using my original training script (minus the third funny) after all these years. Good improvements with music and adding uno

[@JohnSandyProductions]

You are the king of csr s

[@debrachurilla7994]

The joke here is getting to talk to a live agent.

[@JaneLemorsetti]

Can I ask if I answer your question so far, is there anything else I can help you with?

[@radamesperez5010]

Nope they nailed it all Comcast employees look exactly like that.

[@Sitharos]

Comcast blows!

[@billjenkins9492]

What an informative and well-researched comment with so many intellectual points.

[@sirhoneybadger5875]

you alright mate

[@kagekun7689]

Bet he has the Internet service tho.... hypocrite.

[@lakesadmin3622]

"If you aren't satisfied with our service, go somewhere else!"

[@Julieber1]

This isn’t just any HD box, but a magical HBO Box. 🙄🙄🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤭🤭😂😂

[@thegoonies5599]

Who else was brought here by The KZbin Pooper?

[@theamazingcaper6222]

She didn't brand the call at the end or ask for further assistance. Once the issue was resolved it would have been a great opportunity to pitch an upsell.

[@mikethemechanic7395]

It’s pat from SNL 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@victorkd9926]

Omg 😂

[@thejanitor769]

Naw. It's more like Marshall Applewhite

[@marcuslamerson]

I’ve fallen down the hole of customer service videos

[@TheKrazyk2010]

she would be a perfect representation of a government worker LMAO

[@juggajiggawuggahemp]

why is this enteraintment content, regardless i love it

[@jeromemarcini8871]

“But I don’t want free extras. Lower my bill manually please”

[@evuhmae]

Well..that’s not how my customers react when i explains thing to them the same way that agent explains it. 😂😏

[@aegiseurobeat4559]

The first one was more honest, the second one was more polite.

[@MaxTalks]

The applause at the end seems a bit unnecessary lmao

[@mjones3644]

Wow that explanation would of worked for me also! Great customer service Alison!

[@MoistCrumpet]

What the hell? She didn’t even fix the customer’s bill and they are still happy!

[@TheReeShow]

The first time it was not explained well enough why the price went up. As far as the customer is concerned nothing has changed but the price. However it's discovered using open ended questions that she does in fact benefit from paying the extra money. This was delivered in an orderly fashion rather than being put on hold and given a blunt answer using opinionated language 👍 hope that helps anyone confused

[@RealityMFiction]

This isn't realistic, the customer didn't say "I've been a customer for 10 years"

[@fernandobernatte8112]

She is not following the S4 guidelines

[@wwilliams2453]

Fernando Bernatte Only People that worked at Comcast will know what that is lol

[@renzhernandez401]

You got that right

[@renzhernandez401]

No SSO options either

[@fernandoparedes3392]

Now is S4X

[@evuhmae]

True haha

[@victorkd9926]

I guess 200.00 a month is considered free now I could get hulu, disney+ , Netflix, HBO max and KZbin TV for about 40% of the cost of comcast.

[@juiceboxhero9147]

3:40 my parents would be like I dOnT WaNt ThAt ShIt

[@aiberlane3390]

Why didn't they do a few more takes? "Allison" keeps tripping over her lines!

[@xhorelnah13]

Because it's realistic.

[@Greatshow09]

Companies will always raise prices and from a business perspective that's a good thing. From a shareholder perspective, revenue can't stay stagnant once they've captured the entire market and have increased programming costs. However, honestly, they almost did better in the first round as opposed to the second. To start with, why can't our CRMs work with calls across the board yet? Zendesk Talk and other platforms should make it where the caller is identified upon pickup with information adjacent to the call is available so they can better personalize the call. Then again this is likely old, however, still asking for anything outside of "may I verify the user on the account that I'm speaking to" seems kinda redundant. That aside here's how I think it should have went. 1. Empathize with the customer and agree on the frustration with the higher bill (even if complaining over $3.50 on a 2yr contract plan seems hilarious); "Thanks for calling Comcast this evening. I totally get your frustration around the added charges. Just one moment here while I look a bit deeper into what's actually going on" 2. Break down the plan in question. "Thanks again for your patience here. Firstly, I see that you've been around with us for a year now which is great! While I continue looking into this is everything going great otherwise? While we appreciate your ongoing loyalty, we like to make the barrier of entry to our services a bit easier given you have to go through the trouble of switching from a competitor. So, as a result, pricing is a tad cheaper for the first year as we subsidize our plans a little bit for you. In this case, we want to give you the most cost savings possible so we partially subsidize the first entire half of your contract with us. While we don't have to do this, we think it makes moving in with Xfinity just that extra bit smoother." 3. Additional circumstances. "One other reason that your bill looks to have increased was due to the additional programming fees that some of our partners have imposed on us in addition to the additions we have had to make in capacity to support our new users. While it's never easy to raise our prices, the additional fees have forced us to pass down some of them on to you." 4. Cheap ways of compensation "Seeing bills increase is never fun. However, I'd love to see if there's any way if I could help short of actually lowering those charges for you. If you'd be interested, I'd be happy to provide you with a three month subscription to HBO on us. This would normally cost $15/mo. So, it's a $45 value. If you'd be interested in it just let me know and I'd be happy to apply it for you. 5. Thank them and empathize with them one more time. "Again, I really appreciate your understanding here. I know increases in charges are never fun and we frequently negotiate with the content providers that we work with to ensure your bills are as low as possible. If there's anything else that I can help you with today, please don't hesitate to let me know. Otherwise, thanks again for your loyalty and calling Comcast today. Have a great rest of your day"

[@TheHolmaj]

well, yeah, this sounds about Comcast.... So very grateful not to have to use their services anymore.
