5.14.1 Customer Care complaints
If trigger language, including a customer request to speak to a supervisor, is used during a call, use the following steps:
1. Stay calm and be confident when speaking with the caller.
2. Make all attempts to de-escalate the caller by ensuring that you can get the claim moving in the right direction. This includes ensuring that proper steps are taken to advance the claim by requesting work items (for example, inspection, exception, draw, payee requests, and so on).
• Suggested scripting: "I do understand you would like to speak to a supervisor. However, if you would allow me the opportunity, I would like to assist you today. If you feel additional assistance is still needed, I have a Resolutions specialist who can further assist you. May I continue to assist you with your claim?"
IMPORTANT! Make sure that all required documents are received and filled out properly prior to requesting the work item.
• If an expedited request needs to be submitted via email to rush processing of necessary items, coordinate with your supervisor or senior specialist.
3. Use the following suggested scripting when the customer requests to speak to a supervisor, and all attempts at de-escalation were followed: "I'm sorry I was not able to provide resolution to your concern today. Is there something you would like me to clarify or go over again with you?"
