Why are the hosts forced to complete a corporate empathy training before the call?
It's almost time for your prank call. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And don't you hate it when you're just trying to do your job but your dumb computer locks you out because you've refused to complete the company's mandated HR training?
Oh and that's on you.
That's so annoying.
Yeah, I feel like that just happened to Jeff today for some reason.
It's almost as annoying as putting the customer on hold to make her listen while you complete it over the phone. But you know what? I'm sure this lady won't mind in your phone tap right now.
Brooke and Jeffrey's phone taps on the twenties.
Hello? Hi, this is Aziz, Zanizy. Good morning, I'm calling from Cable. Is this Jillian? It is.
How does the mandatory empathy quiz start and what’s the first tricky question?
Hi, Jillian. We received your customer request. Oh yeah, yeah. Great. Well we just wanted to make sure that we have you on the phone so that we can process this correctly.
Yeah, no problem.
Perfect. So first thing that I need from you is What? Oh no. Not now. Oh my gosh. What is that? Um I'm so sorry. This has nothing to do with you.
What is the correct response to the difficult‑customer scenario in Question 8?
It's just the the company needs me to complete my customer service empathy training. And I've already missed it twice, so now the computer's locking me out. Would it be okay if you just hung on the line really quick while I do this? I promise it'll be fast. Thank you. You're you're so nice. Okay, let me let me start the program. Um Engage empathy training.
Question 8. When dealing with a difficult customer and you haven't had your coffee yet, should you a listen and tell them you understand their frustration?
B
Show empathy and say you've been there before and you'll work through this together. Or C Loudly interrupt and blame the customer for wasting your time.
How should a customer‑service rep properly end a call according to Question 9?
What? That is incorrect, but options A or B would have been acceptable answers. Mm-hmm.
Oh I remember this is why it was taking me so long to get through this are all like trick questions. Oh mother. Let's try another one.
Question nine. What is the proper way to end every customer service call? Should you? A Ask if they're single, and see if you can forge a personal or romantic relationship with them.
Ha ha ha ha.
That is incorrect. You know what? Um I really don't think I should be on the phone for this.
Why do the hosts suddenly start flirting with the caller during the training?
I agree. They're kinda distracting. Well now I'm gonna fail my empathy training because of you. So I mean
actually blaming me. The questions, you just got them wrong.
I'm not even
doing it.
See, my empathy training would tell me I should interrupt you right now and call you like a bad name.
Get me off the phone, okay? Just get me off the phone.
Can I be honest? The tone you're using right now kinda reminds me of my hex.
I don't care if I remind you of Jesus. Get me off the phone.
Look, I know this isn't going the smoothest right now, but I have to ask, are you single? Because we we might be a good match.
What does Question 10 ask about handling a customer who says they don’t want to be here?
If you don't get me off off the phone, okay, you know what? Actually you can cancel the whole entire thing. I think I can find another company to do this with. This is crazy.
You know what's crazy? The chemistry bubbling between us.
Excuse me?
Honestly, I wish I could flirt with you all day, but I I have to complete my test, so Hey um one second.
I don't want to be here anymore. Question ten. After the customer says she doesn't want to be here anymore, should Laugh at them and say good luck getting through to a human. B delete their entire file from the system to make their life more difficult. What or C. Tell them it's a prank phone call on the radio.
What fake name does the caller use and why is the reveal important?
Sorry. You don't need to be sorry, ca you didn't know this was a phone tap. I'm gonna hang up and call your supervisor. What was your name again? Well, I'm assuming you're asking my fake name, which is Aziz Zanizi, which I wish was my real name. It's only Jose Bolaños, which is not as cool. But you are on the radio right now. This is Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
I
don't know who you Yeah. You're on the radio. Your sister Kathleen set you up. She said you're upgrading your cable services. So she wanted us to call you as a cable company. Are you kidding me?
How does the episode wrap up and what final lesson is left about empathy training?
