We are sharing a Heartfelt Story for #CustomerServiceWeek 🌟 Customer service bridges the gap between customers and businesses. Recently, we had a touching encounter with a customer who, for the first time, experienced the support of an ASL-fluent representative. Their past encounters with misunderstandings and miscommunication left them hesitant to call customer service. They'd opt for live chat or in-person visits to avoid the interpreter hassle. But one day, they had to make that call, and their experience was transformational. Interacting with our ASL-fluent representative filled them with joy and confidence. They're now eager to reach out whenever they need assistance, knowing we're here to help. 🤗 This is about equality and inclusivity for our Deaf and hard of hearing customers. 🌐 Join us in celebrating Customer Service Week by sharing stories that warm the heart and highlight the importance of great service! ❤️ #ASL #Equity #Accessibility #DEI #CustomerService [Video Description: A white masculine person with brown hair and a beard wears a black shirt and signs to the camera. Around this video is a light gray background with dark blue and orange triangles. On the top left is "What customer service means to us" in dark blue. On the bottom right is the ASL Now logo in blue and orange.] [Video Transcript: Customer service is an essential part in connecting customers and businesses. I received a call from a customer experiencing an ASL-fluent representative for the first time. After reviewing and meeting their needs, the customer shared that they always felt uncomfortable calling customer service. They wanted to avoid going through an interpreter due to bad experiences with misunderstandings or miscommunication between the customer service representative and the ASL interpreter. The customer used live chat or going in person to get customer service. The customer had to call customer service. They were pleasantly surprised that they could work with an ASL-fluent representative. They were thrilled. They shared that they will call customer service now that they know ASL representatives are ready to help them. This is equality for Deaf and hard of hearing customers.]
