2. Skip questions because you think
they’re not relevant.
Change what the question says.
Leave any question unanswered.
Don’ts
Ask the questions in the order they’re
presented.
Show empathy statements when
applicable in between questions.
For repeated questions, confirm the
answer with customer, instead of
asking it again.
So, you said the surgery was back in 2007,

Script follow up
3. It’s all about following the right procedure, within the AHT goal (8 – 12
minutes).
Avoid dead air as much as you can.
Try using small-talk when capturing info or the system is slow.
Make sure you keep the customer on track and don’t stray off-topic.
Efficiency
4. Verify your spelling before moving on. (Especially with addresses.)
Try using the Military Alphabet to doublecheck spelling.
ALWAYS, 100% of the time, in EVERY single call, capitalize the first letter of:
Names
Cities
States
Street names
Hospital names
Data Accuracy
5. No slang
Try using “yes” instead of “yeah”, or “definitely” in place of “for sure”
Respond immediately and accordingly.
Don’t change topics drastically. Instead, acknowledge the customer’s
comment and subtly turn the conversation by asking your next question.
If you’re capturing the customer’s info, let them know so, instead of
remaining quiet after they just answered your question.
