How to Spot a Bad Phone Provider in Under 2 Minutes
from CX without the BS · host Brian Nichols
Before you sign anything for phones, UCaaS, or contact center - you need to know this: When it breaks, who actually picks up the phone? In this CX Without the BS - Quick Hit, I walk through the fastest way to spot a “support problem” before you’re stuck in ticket hell, porting delays, and finger-pointing. Here are the two questions to copy/paste into an email to every vendor you’re considering: When I need help, who do I call - and how fast do I get a real human? If my bill comes in higher than the quote, what fees do you add that aren’t in the per-user price? If they answer clearly and directly - good sign. If they dodge - you just saved yourself a multi-year headache.
