How May I Help You?


Now I know you are going to find this hard to believe, but every now and then I get stuff in my emails that don’t include weird stories, half naked women or stuff I need to forward to my 500 closest friends or my legs will fall off.
This came yesterday and I didn’t know we could do what it says. Man the grief that this knowledge could have saved me.
Here is the email in its entirety.




Try to remember this EVERY TIME you have
to talk to a customer service representative and you
cannot understand them.
I did not know that we could do this, but I sure am
going to try it.
Help bring jobs back to the U.S.A.
Ask for an American!


How to save some American jobs
and we can help!


Hi
Everyone,


I want to share with you some great information that I found out purely by accident. I believe it can also save and create jobs in America while giving people better customer service.

So how many times have you called a companies service phone line and found that the rep. can barely speak English? Once with a major mortgage company it was so bad I demanded to speak with someone who spoke English. Right at that moment I broke the code, the secret password for customer
service.

Come to find out that every American company using overseas operators must transfer you to an American rep. by saying.......
" I want to speak to a representative in America ".
(Don't take no for an answer on this)

This was confirmed by the American rep. that they must transfer you after that request. I've tried it on a half a dozen major companies including cable, bank, phone and mortgage companies.
It works every time and I actually get my issues taken care
of.

Last thing to help save even more jobs.... don't
use the automated check out lanes they are pushing at the
big box stores. If we use those check outs rather than cashiers, people lose their jobs too.
I've refused to use the automated check outs and have
had two cashiers already thank me for help saving their
jobs.


Works for Me.
