Sitting on hold is just plain boring.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Being on hold is just plain boring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think we’ve all been there at some point.
On hold.
To our favourite service providers.
Playing our favourite music.
Through pan pipes!
For what feels like hours.
That’s after we’ve manged to get through their complicated automated phone service.
If you’re like me, you’ve probably forgotten all the options by the time its your turn to participate.
We’ve lost interest.
Then you hold on for the automated message to repeat them to you.
During the whole process. You answer all sorts of security questions.
You enter your life’s biography. Through the numeric options or voice prompts.
You jump the hurdles. You get through to a human, and guess what?
They ask you some of the same questions. Again.
The fact is. Most of our suppliers don’t want to talk to us anymore.
They’d rather we solved our own issues and stopped wasting their<\/strong> valuable time.
They already have our business and often their focus is on capturing new business instead.
You click on contact us and it can takes you to other things, like frequently asked questions. They’re hoping you answer your own stupid question and won’t bother them.
Anyway. You persevere.\u00a0
There’s a real voice at the other end.
“How can I help you today”.
It’s like music to your ears.
You start to explain.
They cut you short.
The voice says “You’re through to the wrong department”.
Your heart sinks.
You blame yourself. “I must have missed an option somewhere”.
Then. Those magic words. “I’ll just put you through”.
