5. CALLING CO OP BANK CUSTOMER SERVICES

Like most large organisations, Co-op bank receives a huge number of telephone calls from their customers daily. To minimise the call waiting time, as well as the aggravation that will inevitably follow, please use the following tips which will make things so much smoother and less stressful for you.

  1. Be prepared: Write down your feedback, complaint or query in detail on a piece of paper. Include all the necessary names, departments and other relevant details. This will ensure that you won’t miss out on any details, while cutting down the questions you will receive. Customer service representatives always appreciate calls from prepared customers.
  2. Get your documents in order: Get your bank statements, receipts and any relevant documents on your desk prior to making the call. There is nothing worse than customers who run around their house searching for the previous month’s bank statement in the middle of a phone call.
  3. Find a suitable window of time: Don’t make a call to service centres when you are pressed for time. It will only create more stress, especially if you have to hang up after being kept on hold for half an hour. Instead, pick a time of day when you can afford to waste time. It wouldn’t hurt to have a hot cup of tea close by – and maybe a magazine as well to while the minutes away.
  4. Be courteous: Customer service representatives deal with a lot of customers daily. Most of the time, the customers who calls are usually rude, disrespectful and pushy. So instead of testing the patience of the customer representative whom you’re speaking to, surprised them by being courteous and respectful. Make them like you. Trust us, reps who like their caller are usually more motivated to solve their problems – it’s human nature.

So, are you ready to make the call?
