When a customer asks for a supervisor, do these

Here are 5 reasons why customers ask to talk to a supervisor and how you should handle each scenario as the CSR (Customer Service Representative). This will help you decide when AND when not to deescalate a sup call.

I'm currently working as a call center agent, almost 1 year and recently discovered this channel. I've learned a lot in this channel and I've applied it on every calls that I received everyday. I'm not also a 100% magaling sa english, may mga grammar lapses pa din and yung english vocabulary ko hindi pa din ganun kadami. Dito ko nakita na madami pa ko need i-improve.

Very interesting stuff, normally some supervisors do not want to speak to customers whenever they are overwhelmed but deescalating the complaint can be hardwork but rewarding at the same time

[@kirianiago5567]

this is very helpful, for 12 years working in back office in my current company, its my first time, and recently work in calls, where we handle escalated complaint-mostly upset customers. Listen, empathy, solve the problem.

[@anthonydones949]

I appreciate the way you help the reps get through their calls

[@allenmaebrown]

whenever I encounter a rude and irate customer asking for a supervisor right at the start of our call and wouldn't disclose the issue, I always told them that I can't transfer them to a supervisor unless they told me the problem. "Sir I have a protocol to follow and I need you to respect them" in a firm tone, "I can look for a supervisor but I need to know first why you need one". they always explain what happened and thats when I decide if its something I can de-escalate or resolve.

[@robertpineda9063]

Thanks for acknowledging that there are TLs who don't want to assist some of their agents. Yes, they play favorites too. What is disheartening is that some Subject Matter Experts are sometimes withholding vital information for the resolution of the call. Yes Virginia, the world is not perfect. A business setting like a call center site can actually be a concrete jungle with plastic snakes. Be wary of them and try to be on their good side.

[@janekempis118]

[@briancastro680]

Most supervisors and TL don't like or avoid answering sup calls. Even though it's part of their job. Mostly when a customer ask for a supervisor. I tend to manipulate them and pretend empathy and fix the issue and by the time task is done. Customer is happy and bye bye. If the insist , I'll tell them they have to wait from 2-5 bd to come up with " resolution". Very educational , concise and informative.

3 months Call Center Agent here in CamSur. I experience having a supervisor calls so many times. But i de-escalate it, it really depends on yiur solution if the customer are confident and comfortable with your solutions. But sometimes maybe depends on the incorrect resolution of a Previous Agent, and we need to make a best solution. I'm glad to see this video, now i have another idea on handling a SupCalls and deescalate

[@albertlaman5829]

I hope, I have the confident in speaking like you. Wow! such a great public speaker.

[@ryuchikamiishi8615]

I'm one of those agents who does really well in de-escalating calls. Most of the reasons why customers request a supervisor is because they mostly misunderstood what can be done to resolve the issue. It's just mostly having the customer to understand that you understand their "main" concern and empathize with them that they would mostly be convinced that you could help them out in resolving the issue. Most irate customers come with misunderstandings and it's up to your communication skills if they will be convinced that you understand them totally. There are many other scenarios that you discussed really well here though. Well done.

[@sharonhobbs4144]

this is so untrue! They mostly ask to talk to a supervisor because the staff where you are have NOT UNDERSTOOD or treated them decently! If you are treated properly in the first place then you don't ask to speak to a supervisor. This isnt' some game by random strangers to make your day hard at either end. Nothing worse than dealing with people who think they know better than every single caller and are not actually focussed on solving problems, but creating them..

[@therezepino7954]

Most of my customers who ask for supervisor, their main reason is failure to authenticate their own account. Already gave them other options, which I understand if they won't follow, because other options are quite complicated. But that's the only thing I can give them. The worst part is that, we can't transfer calls to supervisors because we don't have any extensions to transfer the call to them. But, for example, If my cx ask for a supervisor, I usually say, "My supervisor is currently on a meeting. It'll be finish 2-3 hours", and the customer really insisted to wait. That's why my supervisor took over the call.

[@sweetlia8223]

[@solymarvasquez2766]

As a mentor on my campaign, I take sup calls and they send the request as soon as customer asks for a sup. What we try to do is to advise our agents what to say or do before getting in the call to see if we can de escalate the customer together. Sometimes it works, sometimes customer will still ask for a sup and that's when we go in but some of the calls I take can be solved with stating the facts with security.

[@angelakawa]

I remembered the first video that I watched on your KZbin channel and I was very scared. Now I have more experience, knowledge, and confidence so I had the opportunity to be a TL and I always coached every agent on a possible sup call, most of them it was so simple, but and I guided them to deescalate the sup call, but they were making the opposite so I that point the cx was very angry so we shouldn't deescalte the call, I needed to take it. And always I gave feedback from the call to the agent and also I provided that info to their sup, and I always I gave to the agents some tips and everything to deescalate a possible sup call.

[@sjgc9423]

Yes, I agree with everything in this video. I have this manager who always says to take ownership of the call. Also, the customer doesn't want to provide any of their info like reference, their name, and address, just a sup call. Even though I provided everything and offer a solution to the customer. I also don't know why they become managers. Working in a BPO complaints department is really stressful, I hope the Team Leaders should be helpful with their agents too. There are times every day it's queuing, answering 20-50 calls a day will give you a mental breakdown.

I am working for about two months now,but we are not allowed to transfer to any supervisor. We are only allowed to transfer calls if the issue of the customer is for another department to resolve.That is why it is really hard to deal with customers who want a supervisor at the start of the call and no matter how you ask what their problem is they wont respond and just keep asking for a supervisor.

Content creator Jessica Lee also has good enunciation. You could lipread her.

[@jessicaares7470]

Folks, true escalations are rare. When someone calls you and asks for a supervisor immediately, it is because they don't have confidence in you or your company. Always assure them that a supervisor is an option but that they will require some information before they take the call. Gather what you can about the situation and look into it. You will either find that you can resolve the problem in a few minutes or that something needs to be taken away to resolve the problem and you can follow up later. Go back to your caller, advise them that you can offer them a solution. Provide the details for resolution and see if it is acceptable. 99% of the time they will accept rather than wait for a supervisor or a call back from one. Avoid saying no, don't trigger the caller by quoting policies and procedures. Tell them what you can do instead of what you cannot. And always offer some kind of confirmation of the resolution to rebuild trust.
