Introduction: The Customer Service Dilemma for Companies - and All of Us - Today Let’s face it. All of us share a common experience - and a common modern problem. We fear, we dread, we lament, and yes, most of us literally hate having to call for customer service for anything! Of course, this is only if our cable company, our wireless carrier, our airline, or our health insurer even provides - let alone publishes somewhere - the actual phone number one should use to reach a real live customer service agent to speak with about whatever our problem - billing, technical, health, etc. might be of concern to us. As you no doubt have experienced, many companies today seem to go to great lengths to bury that 800 number that one could use to actually reach out to speak with a company representative about your issue under webpage after webpage. If you do manage to find the customer service information, often, you will be directed not to a phone number, but instead, you will see offerings to use their chatbot, their email, or their text-based customer service.
