Communication Frustration
A few weeks ago I was overcharged for something on my account and a monthly payment was taken twice. In an attempt to get the money back, I was told to contact the accounts department only to be told – “I am afraid our accounts department does not have a phone number so you can only email them.” It took a week to get a reply.
As someone who works in the speaking industry (whose primary business is about talking to people), I am used to speaking to people on the phone and like to be able to call someone if needed too – and include my number on my emails so that people can contact us.
I am sure there are various reasons why there is a reluctance to give out numbers but the lack of communication frustrates me.
So purely on a selfish basis, if you looking to improve your communications (be it to improve customer service or to help with confidence) there are a few speakers we can suggest.
