CASE STUDY SITUATION
Background Information
You are a customer service representative for Earth, Wind, not Fire Energy, a manufacturer of alternative energy products. Your company has been in business since 2010 and has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Your company manufactures, installs, and sells solar and/or wind power kits to residential homeowners throughout the United States. The company is in the southwestern part of the United States and contracts out all installations to local, pre-screened contractors.
Scenario
Your challenge is to be prepared to field questions from customers who call in to the customer service line to inquire about an order status, installation times, or issues related to installation of a kit system. The clients (judges) are three homeowners who are jointly purchasing a solar system to operate their lake cabin community. They intend to use their solar system to subsidize their current electrical use. Their long-term plan is to slowly upgrade the solar system and turn it into their only power supply. Assume that the clients are calling about their solar system installation.
You will be fielding a call from the homeowners (judges). You should “answer the call” with the following greeting:
“Earth, Wind, not Fire Energy, this is _______ (your name). How may I help you?”
Judge Request
We are three homeowners who are jointly purchasing a solar system to operate in our lake cabin community. We intend to use the solar system to subsidize our current electrical use, and the long-term plan is to slowly upgrade the solar system and turn it into our only power supply.
We have an issue related to the contractor and installation. The contractor showed up, installed part of the system, but has not returned in the past four days. I have repeatedly called to follow up with no success. What should I do?
