I believe to succeed in this role, the person has to be willing to work as a team player, passionate for doing the job, focused and someone who has professional awareness. There is not a specific script, I think the agent has to be flexible enough to comprehend there are many ways to look the same point of view, open-minded to find the best solution and to provide a great service.

Yes When your customers think of call center scripts, they usually think of your agents reading from a piece of paper or their screen and giving everyone the same repetitive answers.

This seems artificial, and can leave your customers feeling like they are not being truly heard on their specific issues.

Despite the bad reputation that call center scripts seem to have with both agents and customers, they can be a helpful tool – but, only if they are used wisely. A well-crafted call center script can help your agents create meaningful conversations, both from a customer service and a sales perspective.

Below, we’ve listed 7 of the top benefits of using call center scripts, and some of our best tips for creating scripts that help improve customer satisfaction.

Well, I think scripted information served the purpose to some extent however agent should be given liberty to judge the customer's query and response specifically. This will help to give better understanding to the customer of what he/she needs. This will increase customer's satisfaction as well as it will support your business.

I truly believe that scripted are use in front desk officer like, Welcome to our Hotel, Thank you for staying with us or else like giving the information of what rules they had. But in case of positive and negative feedback there is no such as thing called scripted. It'show you handle it goes truly. To satisfied and feel the GUEST CALLED SATISFACTION. Spreading GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE, Will give A GOOD REVENUE.

There is one script for customer service agent. He has to remember that every customer is valuable and very important for him and for his company.

No i feel that having a script can sound robotic and take away the aspect of getting to know the customer and his or her concerns. 

 

CSA's should have a confident, easy going and honest nature that allows them to build a rapport with customers/clients readily. A script can hinder this process and in doing so alienate the customer.

Customer service script for me is a supplemental guide only in order for the agent follow a protocol on how to handle a situation poperly, but I trully believe that customer service starts from within. If you have the passion, willingness to help and has the capacity to do extra mile to make the customer happy, script is no longer necessary. 

"Customer service is not just about giving help or provide  correct answer to customer's queries but to give them a reason to come back and patronize your business".

A script is okay to some extent as maybe required by the establishments rules but i believe understanding a customers needs and inquiries would help much in giving a proper feedback
