How to Navigate the Phone Tree of Doom
PROLOGUE Right. So, like everyone on earth, at some point or another, you’ve had a sucktastic, no-holds-barred, Epic Fail customer service experience. While we in that industry (whether it be a call center, restaurant, retail store, or some new form of torture that no one has ever heard of) are fully aware of the fact that sometimes you have done nothing wrong but still get the CSR equivalent of a dull stick to the eye (and on behalf of The Industry, I would like to offer an unreserved apology for those instances), a good 80% - 90% of the time, your bad experience could likely have been alleviated by the application of common sense, forethought, and/or the ability to admit that maybe – just maybe – you were wrong. In the following pages is a detailed, fairly comprehensive list of things that annoy, frustrate, enrage, horrify, amuse, and occasionally confound us. Mixed in with this list are anecdotes from every walk of customer service; the truly sad part is that not one of them has been exaggerated. These are all true stories and the odds are high that some will make you laugh, a few might cause tears (of joy, sorrow, or horror will depend on your personality), and no small number of them will likely result in a wide-eyed, slack-jawed, WTF?!? moue of disbelief that we in customer service live with Every. Damn. Day. It is our profound hope that this guidebook will walk you safely through a happier, healthier, more productive customer service experience (and if it doesn’t, well, it might give you a few ideas).

Facing Up to the Internet Security Challenge
These days, there's nothing we can do but submit to technology. We likely have no choice because if we didn't, we'd be left ages behind and it won't be very good for our personal sake. Although we can always stick to the old traditional ways, with this fact by now obvious, we simply know that can no longer keep pace with the level of productivity that the digital world has been achieving. Like it or not, we have to join them to survive them.
