Customer Service Stories : Hero...Voice Mail Greeting With Answers

Hi, I am a sales rep for an excellent product that every call center on the planet should own, and quickly, but that is not the reason for my email.

I call a lot of call center management, and hear a lot of voice mail greetings. My father had an issue with Dish Network, and had to escalate it to a manager, whom I believe resolved his problem satisfactorily.

My father, trying to help his son make quota, asked if I could call on him to present my really cool software. This gentleman graciously agreed. When I called and reached his voice mail, his greeting said, "My name is so and so, and I am sorry that I am unable to take your call, I am either out of the office or assisting another customer.


My days off are Friday and Saturday" (WOW, setting an expectation level). "Please leave a message and I will respond within 48 hours." (holy smokes a service level commitment from a customer service center manager) "If I don't respond in 48 hours please feel free to contact my immediate supervisor...so and so at XXX-XXX-XXXX." (and consequences for not meeting his goals). I was impressed, someone in the organization had some chutzpah. Since I was looking for a decision maker, I called his immediate supervisor - Guess what greeting I got...The same one.

I don't know who directed this inside the organization, but that is exactly how it should be done. They are heroes!
