As a callcenter agent its normal talaga for us or for me na makarecieve ng mga calls from irate customers. But it really doesnt mean that it is the end of your career. hahaha! Because even there are some irate callers, most of them naman are nice and professional and some are even glad to found out that they are talking w/ agents from the Philippines. I just keep in my mind that the customers are upset because of the services and not because of me personally. Hehehe! But of all my irate callers this is the scenario that I cannot forget. I really feel discrimated...DISCRIMINATED TALAGA!!???hehehehe!
ME: (Enthusiastic as I can) Thank you for calling ( ____ ) This is Venz, How may I help you today?!!
CALLER: (An old woman) Oh thank God! Finally I reached you...I just hung up the phone twice w/ the two agents from the Philippines! You know what? I really dont want to speak w/ agents from the philippines because they cannot understand me and I am having a hard time understanding their accent!
ME: (Flattered kasi di nahalata ang pinoy accent ko) Ooh! I see! But how may I help?
CALLER: Its been a problem since last month! but until now I am still receiving calls from your ____ department that I need to pay my ____! I thought that the Filipino agent I spoke last month put my loan under _____because I lost my job blah blah blah!
