Please accept my sincere apology on behalf of our company. I am very sorry to learn that your experience with Jane, our Customer Service Representative, was less than adequate. She should have handled the situation differently and transferred your call to someone with more authority.
We take full responsibility for the situation and understand why Jane's offer to remedy the situation did not meet your expectations. Our Customer Service Representatives are given a set of guidelines for compensation that they are supposed to adhere to, however in this case, clearly those standards were insufficient.
In this regard, we failed. We should have trained our staff so that they understood that under certain circumstances, they should immediately connect a customer with a supervisor who would can override the standard guidelines and procedures.
Please be assured that this type of situation will never happen again. We have put new procedures in place as of today, that will ensure that any customer who wants to speak with someone more senior, for any reason, will be transferred immediately.
It's very important to us that our customers have access to anyone within the company, all the way up to senior management.
