Customer Service Training

Have you ever had bad customer service? Please share your stories?
I am doing a customer service training next week with my team and I am looking for bad customer service experiences. Please share your stories. I want my team to understand what bad customer service can do to our company.
Thanks for your help!
I had terrible customer service from the San bernardino Police Department. I was hospitalized and sick for several months, in and out of the hospital and on medication. My home was lost and several bills were piling up. I had no other family or anyone to help out. Fast -forward to today and I am doing well and have not had any regression of illness for about 6 months, Praise God. Well in the mean time I have been paying bill collectors and credit agencies off as I can. I recently payed off a carnote to a financial service since they were threatening to take me to court/ sue me and all sorts of things.
Anyhow, when I was hospitalized and sick, the car was taken from a public area that it had been parked. It was the last things on my mind was to report it stolen or anything, I had no family or no way to even drive in my condition. So I have recieved registering papers and fees and I called the DMV to try and release reliabilty since I dont have the car. The DMV tells me that I cannot do that unless Im selling the car or a junkyard is gonna take over title. They tell me to call the local police station and have them locate the car to figure out whats going on. So when I contact them, the woman on th ephone give me really nasty attitude and tells me that I need to report the car either stolen or lost?! She claims that I have to come in person and fill out documents so that if Im lying, I may be trailed in court. I tell her thats fine with me because I have no reason to make up such and stupid story. Geez, it was embarrassing enough to admit I left the car in the first place.
Anyjow, she must have thought that I wasnt really gonna show up because as soon as I get down there, she gives me more attitude and tells me that there is no such thing as reporting a car lost. She then seems to make the situation worse by making a mock of me just now coming in to report on the vehicle, again in front of like 20 people nearly in tears I explain how I was hospitalized and everything. At this ponit Im pissed off, she then tells me that she will see if I can go to the DMV and get a release of reliability without transfer of title info. when she comes back, she is giving me hell about reporting a car stolen and that I need to go figure out exactly where it was taken from. She even had two more office when come up and were standing in the back shaking their heads at me and mocking the time frame of when I last had the car and why Im just now coming to report info. I was furious and again explained to her that since they dont want to help with reporting the car stolen, then if she could gie me the info that she originally went to check on about the DMV releasing liability. She screamed that they dont know, so I gather my papers screamed back, THANK YOU FOR WASTING MY TIME, and stormed off.
I really regret the whole situation, but I just dont understant why she had such a nasty attitude. Before I even got up to the window and talk to her, she was huffing and puffing and rolling her eyes. I understand that its not easy work in her field, but everyone who comes into the police station are not criminals and regarding my situation, I was one unfornunate who doesnt have a conservor to take care of things in case of illness, death or etc. Im just glad to be alive and give all the glory to God. I apologize for even letting such nonsence upset me and acting out.

Application Service Providers (ASPs): A Manager’s Guide $0.99 Application Service Providers (ASPs) lease hosted software applications over broadband networks to companies of all sizes as a faster, less expensive, and simpler alternative to installed applications. ASPs especially benefit small-to-mid-size businesses (SMBs) because, until these services existed, most of these organizations could not afford enterprise applications. While the ASP industry is still young, experts predict that it will soon become amulti-billion dollar industry fueled largely by the explosion of SMBs looking to cash in on the Internet-driven global “e-conomy.”ASPs free your company’s IT, training, technical support, and customer service staff from the onerous chore of installing, upgrading, and managing traditional in-house applications. As an executive or manager responsible forgetting the most competitive bang for your technology buck, you’ll find this ground-breaking guidebook invaluable for short-listing, evaluating, and selecting the best ASP match for your company’s business and IT requirements.Application Service Providers (ASPs): A Manager’s Guide defines the ASP business model, explains the components of the “virtual” ASP technology platform, and differentiates between the various types of ASPs. This book also covers important topics such as:Ensuring your data is secure with an ASPDefining a service level agreement with an ASPChoosing an ASP with the best pricing model for your businessComparing ASP customer service and technical support programsSelecting value-added technologies, such as wireless access, from an ASPEvaluating ASP supporting players known as xSPsThis book also discusses future key developments that could affect your company:ASPs’ impact on the traditional reseller channel, emerging technologies and trends that will further improve how ASPs deliver hosted applications, and winning ASP survival strategies.Finally, |

Branded Customer Service $20.77 According to this turgid primer, service with a smile is no longer enough. With today’s glut of interchangeable commodities and cynical consumers, every aspect of customer service must reinforce the brand image promulgated by the marketing department. Thus, employees of Fabulous Freddie’s gas stations try to work the word “fabulous” into every conversation with customers, while Abercrombie and Fitch hires college-age salespeople who look like their catalogue models. CNBC commentator Barlow, author of A Complaint Is a Gift, and consulting colleague Stewart, regale readers with anecdotes about snippy, sullen, ignorant sales associates who undermine brand loyalty and, worse, waiters and customer service reps whose carefully scripted cheerfulness and solicitude leave customers with a sour aftertaste of inauthenticity. Their ideal, derived from complexity theory conceits about the self-organizing behavior of flocking birds, is to get the typical high-turnover, minimum-wage service worker so imbued with the brand’s essence that it emerges in spontaneous, emotionally real encounters in which “service representatives and customers dance together in brand space.” Their suggestions include lots of human resources exercises in which employees ponder and internalize the brand messages expressed in advertising, as well as acting lessons, penmanship instruction, “personal image and professional presence training,” humor classes, seminars in reading body language, and exhortations to “live the brand” at work and at home. A case study of a makeover of a Bahamas resort, in which employees were instructed to translate the hotel’s marketing themes into the local island patois and create their own posters, dances and songs about them, gives readers a good sense of the book’s softly totalitarian approach to customer service. |
