billing address or could you please verify your address could i please have your credit card number cvv code and expiration date the cvv code is a three-digit number that you should find on the back of your card when dealing with customer requests or questions we often need a few minutes to check or find other information here's what we can say in this situation i see i'm going to need a moment to check that for you can i put you on hold or i understand please give me a minute while i pull up that information would you mind being on hold while i do that to pull up information is very similar to bring up to pull it up on the screen in front of you if we ask the customer to hold it's very important to thank the customer for holding once we're back on the call with them after checking the information it's very common to say the customer's name like a question to make sure they're still on the line then say thank you for holding i have that information for you now for example mr callum thank you for holding i have that information for you now or mr callum thank you for holding i'm sorry it took a little longer than expected or mr callum thank you for being so patient i have all the details here now and now it's time to move on to the unpleasant part dealing with problems complaints issues and here's a tip for you if there is a problem or issue of any kind it doesn't matter whose fault it is always show understanding for the customer's situation and our first example is incorrect shipping address it looks like your order was shipped to the wrong address i'm very sorry about

to hear that and then use the customer name let me bring up your order so we can see what happened and make sure that delivery arrives this time example three missing items i'm so sorry about this mix up i will correct the order and get the missing items to you as soon as possible example four faulty products i'm very sorry about the inconvenience i know this is frustrating i'll contact my supervisor immediately to see how we can resolve this for you is it okay if i call you back within the next and then say the number hours sometimes when there's an issue or a problem customers can get quite angry or impatient it's important to stay professional and calm and again to show understanding i can appreciate how frustrating this must be let me contact my manager and get this resolved for you right now or i'm very sorry for the inconvenience i know this isn't ideal i'm going to look into this immediately and find out what went wrong and how we can put it right for you or i know this is
