  1. “Your call is very important to us. Please continue to hold for the next available agent.”

    I’ve heard that message about 300 times now in the 2+ hours I’ve been on hold with our local tax office.

  2. @DMakarios I bought a febc radio that way (they are very good - SW FM AM, 3 different ways of charging). The only minus with them was that it got recorded at their end as a donation and I get occasional promotional emails as a result.

  3. Sweet!

    Writing in a cafe (don't @ me about the cliche). Just saw an exchange between customers and one of the staff.

    It seems at least one of the customers is deaf, and a staff member came over to sign to them that the cafe is closing in five minutes.

    Proper discussion too, not just the one phrase a staff member had learned.

    Gold star for customer service!

  6. So, that was Dorum / Dorum-Neufeld. I can cross them off my list, and not bother with them ever again. I had a good lunch, and a helpful person sold me postcards, but aside from an impressive tower and a few fishing boats, it wasn't worth walking 14km there and back.

    Walking? Yes, because they do not have a functioning bus service or a friendly customer travel service. Just not worth the effort.

  7. Why not publish the details on your website rather than have to tell us that you’re experiencing greater than normal volume of calls to your switchboard and bleating about how important these calls are to you?

  10. Woohoo! Social Security and Medicare A&B have been approved, and are retroactive to July.

    I have to say the customer service (phone) I received from various Federal agencies far exceeded what I get from corporations these days. In every instance, I spoke with a human being in less than 12 minutes, and never got bounced by a phone menu.

  11. Here is a bit of linguistic advice for anyone but particularly if you are in customer service.

    Do not say “I understand” if someone is complaining or unhappy about something. The other person will rarely believe you actually understand because you probably don’t.

    Instead say, “I agree”.

    “I agree this situation is frustrating.” “I agree this is so annoying.”

    You validate their feelings without validating the content of the complaint. The other person will feel you are on their side and will be much more open to discussing the underlying issue.

  12. As Google and OpenAI build AI agents that can navigate websites on behalf of users, design your site so these agents can easily understand and interact with your content, just like you'd design for any other assistive technology.

  15. Don't love the experience of calling a company for service, and getting a message saying "currently closed - our hours are 9am to 6pm" and you're calling at 9:10am.

    Gives a sense that they really can't be bothered.

    Lots of folks might not realize that any job/gig where you interact with others has a very real “ #CustomerService “ component.

    I do tech kinda stuff for my “day job” and there’s a large amount of it that is simply getting folks what they need/want, though there are specific skills involved.

  20. My experience using Chinese Taobao taught me this: when a company gets big enough, it can use AI to brush people off and simply ignore the problems.

    How Will AI Change Small Businesses Over the Next Five Years?

    Artificial intelligence is already changing the way businesses operate, but many experts believe the most significant changes have not happened yet.Over the next five years, AI is expected to become deeply integrated into everyday business activities. Tasks that currently require manual effort may become automated, workflows may become faster, and entrepreneurs may gain access to capabilities that were previously available only to large organizations with substantial budgets.For small […]

  22. American AI Companies Targeting IT-BPM Sector Of The Philippines

    With a thriving information technology and business process management (IT-BPM) sector, the Philippines is attracting the attention of American artificial intelligence (AI) firms due to revenues generated and the existing large employment base, according to a Manila Bulletin news report citing the United States Commercial Service (USCS).

    To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the Manila Bulletin report. Some parts in boldface…

    The Philippines’ information technology and business process management (IT-BPM) sector has emerged as the most viable investment destination for American artificial intelligence (AI) firms, according to the United States Commercial Service (USCS).

    USCS Manila commercial specialist Easter Villanueva said the IT-BPM sector is a promising market for US-based AI companies given the revenues it generates and its large employment base.

    Given the size of this sector, AI could play an important role in modernization, productivity, and movement toward higher value services,” she said in a webinar organized by the USCS last week.

    The IT-BPM sector generated more than $40 billion in revenues last year, up five percent from $38 billion in 2024, based on data from the IT and Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP).

    IBPAP said the industry employed 1.9 million workers last year, four percent higher than the previous year’s 1.82 million employees.

    This year, the IT-BPM industry is expected to generate $42 billion in revenues and create 1.97 million jobs.

    As AI threatens to disrupt the industry, Villanueva said the sector is increasingly becoming more open to integrating AI into its operations, especially when it comes to voice-based services.

    “I would think that they would be very much willing to explore [AI], since it is also important for workforce development,” said Villanueva.

    They want to also protect the jobs here in this market, [so] they would want to upskill their agents to be able to integrate their daily operations with AI,” she added.

    Aside from the IT-BPM sector, other promising industries for American AI companies include digital transformation, financial services, telecommunications, healthcare, energy, infrastructure, and the public sector.

    Villanueva said there are also opportunities in cybersecurity, data governance, and responsible AI, especially as companies become more conscious of data privacy and security.

    Based on USCS estimates, AI adoption in the country remains limited, with only about 14.9 percent of companies currently using AI tools.

    This is not yet a mature AI market, and many buyers are still learning what AI can do, what it cannot do, how much it will cost, and how results can be measured. For US companies, this means that the opportunity is not only to sell, but also to educate, build trust, and demonstrate practical value,” said Villanueva.

    For AI companies looking to enter the market, she said it is critical to make their use case clear by helping address a specific problem with measurable outcomes while offering cost-effective solutions.

    She also recommended that firms work with local partners for market access and implementation support, embed data privacy and AI governance measures early, and adopt a consultative approach with buyers.

    “Buyers can be price-sensitive, and companies may face competition from lower-cost providers…So the opportunity is real, but it will require patience, education, and a clear business case,” Villanueva said.

    Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think several AI firms in the United States will proceed to tap the IT-BPM sector of the Philippines soon? What kind of business developments do you think will happen once American AI firms start investing in the Philippines’ IT-BPM sector? Do you think political scandals or government-related blunders of the Philippines might discourage American AI companies from investing?

    Are we ready for our digital overlords to also be our customer service reps, or will this just add to the endless scroll of frustration?

  32. Props to #Sharkninja's #customerService.
    The power cord of the vacuum got ruined so they sent a new pod without charging us.
    We were struggling with the cord being on the wrong side of the vacuum compared to their older models, it takes an adjustment. It's also incredibly stiff and doesn't flex well. They sent us a wireless one in place of the corded model without charge.
    Then, a separate item (but placed as part of the original order) hadn't arrived, but the courier had marked the wrong thing as delivered in the first place causing all sorts of confusion.
    A few explanatory emails, boom. They've sent out a replacement for the lost item. NO fuss, no quibble.
    That's the sort of customer service I can get behind.
