When I point out where Sprint lies, you mean? Look, I've seen you post over
and over again, and I've yet to see you address any issues Phillip has
raised other than by calling him a troll, etc.

And now that you have some information, you continue to respond to posts

<<I think training is definitely another issue that needs addressed by

While wait times have decreased (overall... not in every case) and the
reps do seem to be nicer and more polite on the phone (again, overall)
-- training is definately something that needs to be addressed at
Sprint.
I do get tired of calling up for something like a PRL update or ESN swap
or resetting my Vision user name and after about a minute of talking to
the rep -- learning that I know more about what is going on than he or
she does. This does not happen everytime, and certainly happens less
than earlier this year... but it is still a problem and still needs some
work.

Interesting that, after all your obsessing about actually providing a quote,
you "fail" to do so here. Kill-file or not, coward, you're still lying.

Snivelling little hypocrite. What question did you ask me? What response
did you request? It was information, and you said you posted it for me. I
thanked you for it. Now you want to pretend it was something more?
Why don't you say what you want, for once, instead of expecting people to
figure it out.
You want a response from me? Discussion? Then do some of it yourself. You
want to pretend you "got" me? Go for it. You "got" me. I said there was
no information, and I was 100% accurate in that characterization of of the
JDPA press release. Someone else has done a more detailed report on the
study. Great.
What, *exactly*, do you want from me?

That's always tough at a call center. Most every one there is faces that
same problem. How do you train up sometimes thousands of people? Without
affecting service levels, that is.
It's an answer that's badly needed. We definitely haven't been successful
at finding it.

Stop denying that Sprint CS reps lie to get people off the phone, which is
the logical conclusion I've reached in combination with others' experience
and the results of the JD Powers study. The first study, when Sprint ranked
last was 2001. Someone at Sprint thought on-hold times were too long,
resulting in poor industry ratings. So what? To lower on-hold time, you
either have to hire more people (big corporate no-no) or decrease the
average time per call. So Sprint *may* have hired some more people, but
mainly, they created incentives to get CS reps to get off the phone sooner.
Some people, in order to acheive this result, lie. Others pass customers to
purported managers. Either way, it's still a lie and coupled with the poor
information, Sprint will STILL rank poorly against other carriers until
emphasis is actually placed on solving the problems and not getting people
off the phone.
Entier O/Siris, who apparently doesn't really like to hear bad things about
Sprint. Otherwise, you wouldn't respond to every negative thing posted
about Sprint. In most of your posts, you defend Sprint, either blatently or
through tone. Either way, you don't really discuss the issues, you just
post about how someone's a troll, you can't figure out how the study was
done so it must be invalid (I know you never said this, but you've implied
this plenty of times), or you make excuses (everyone else does it, that's
just in *your* case, etc.).
Either you want to discuss the problem (which you don't seem to do) or you
just want to provide some one-uppance or last word to the negative posts,
but you don't *discuss* the negative comments nearly as much as you discuss
the person.
You ASKED for this info and out of your six responses in this thread, only
one was close to discussion.

<<That's always tough at a call center. Most every one there is faces

There are many ways to help train and/or inform a staff of services,
upgrades and customer care. Sending out company emails ... holding
weekly training sessions at each call center (by groups, working your
way through the entire center) and getting everybody up to speed...
upgrading systems so that a little box of new info can come up upon user
login... issuing new employee manuals highlighting service issues and
customer complaints... have employees come in a half hour earlier prior
to their shift starting to be briefed on new upgrades/PRL info...
Most of all... get rid of the CSRs who get complaints. There is such a
wide quality range in CSRs that I get when I call *2... some are very
helpful and knowledgable, and others are slow, condesending and
argumentative. If you start weeding out the bad ones, Sprint can
properly take the time to train new hires. Or at least put the bad CSRs
on probation where they are forced to read up on company policies and
such.
I may be speaking on a subject of which I know nothing about... but just
saying that all companies face customer service issues isn't good
enough. To get this problem fixed, it is going to take time and money
on Sprint's part... but the end result will be worth it.

"The Study". Looking at "The Study" of 2003 I have come to the
conclusion that Sprint PCS had the worst rating. How did they get the
worst rating? Long hold times? Long times for e-mail responses? Just how
did they come up with that? So sprint is left to improve on something
they are not sure what is.
Can you give me a quote out of a press release that says exactly how
sprint ended up at the bottom? I sure haven't seen it. Give it to me Justin.

"The study utilizes a customer care index based on four key areas that
impact overall carrier performance. These are (in order of importance):
service representative interaction (44%); resolution contact frequency
(31%); ARS processing/navigation (13%); and hold time duration (12%)."
From the study itself. Did you even read it? I also e-mailed the lady at
JD Powers and requested the exact questionaire, just for you and O/Siris.
If I get a copy I'll post it here. Not that you'd discuss it anyway. It
appears that with Sprint's undertrained staff and the fact that people had
to call multiple times for the same problem would have weighed more heavily
on the outcome than on-hold time, which apparently has improved.

What do you mean valid? Do you mean did JD Powers use proper sampling
techniques? They sampled over 16,000 people, I should think that would be
enough to guarantee, statistically, a proper result. Can you find an
article where JD Powers was ever caught or accused of manipulation? I don't
think they give a **** one way or the other as to *who* comes out on top.
They sell this information to third parties. It better damn well be good.
They've built a business around it. But it's your right to question it.
Don't let me stop you.

Discuss what? Please clarify. O/Siris' lack of discussion? I'll discuss
most anything you wish if you could be a little more specific.

This seems to be the only way to get O/Siris to actually discuss the results
of the survey.

Not having run a big call center, I can offer these suggestions...
**Continual, regular testing of the reps' knowledge. I know Verizon Wireless
does this kind of thing.
**Random screening of calls, which SPCS may already do.
It isn't going to be easy to keep up with all of the employees, nor will
it be cheap, but it can be done.
