When A Customer Calls

What are the most important things that customers expect
from a call center?

When I call a help desk or tech support number I don't expect
to wait more than 10 minutes before my call is even answered
by a recorded voice. Customers don't want to wait. They will
voice out their displeasure. Filling up that waiting time with
ads about your product and promos is not going to add to a
better customer experience.

When I call customer service I do expect a resolution to my
concern and a fixed time when I will see that resolution. Else,
customers call back. It is a good policy to be honest about
resolution times and work flow. Explain to the customers why
this takes that long. State the company policy and the reason
for such a policy. Give the customer options, even third party
options.

Basic information to the customers should be free. I don't
understand why customers have to pay for information about
a company's product. Free customer support is testament
to the company's confidence to its products and services. Free
customer support does not mean shoddy service.

Appindicator In Natty Ubuntu 11.04

Previously ranted about the blind alley Ubuntu 11.04 seemed to be leading us when it comes to some applications not being ready yet for the dropping of system tray. What I should have done is press on. There are posts about editing a white list with a recommended GUI tool to help us out here , here and here . Like everything in Linux, there's a configuration file for it, if you can find it and if you have the inclination to go ninja. If not then there's dconf-editor. Download dconf-tools from Software Center. Navigate to desktop>unity>panel. Add your application in the white list. Then close the window. No save button. mmm. So far I have added Shutter, Dropbox and Keepassx in the white list. Before... After.

Evolution Mail on GNOME 3.26

There's a slight change in the user interface. A To Do column now appears to the rightmost after the GNOME 3.26 update. Also there's a noticeable stability increase, what with goa-daemon stopping its RAM usage creep. I don't have to kill it every couple of hours.

New Converge ICT Plan Max with Sky Now

I pulled the trigger on Converge Max plan 400Mbps with Sky channels. I went to their sales office and asked for the upgrade. No charge at all and they didn't ask me to return the old modem. It looks like they will pull it when they install the new modem.e It came with a black box for the TV. The configuration is easy but it took me 3 days to figure out the Wired connection. It should be fine except I have to jiggle it in the config (GUI). Turn 802.1x on and off to finally connect. Here's the speed for the Wired connection:
