Worse Than Bad
I asked that service be started and billed after I received my first legitimate call from a customer.
This request was denied.
The only calls I received were prank calls on a daily basis and a test call from myself.
When the person answered, I couldn't understand what they said.
When I attempted to cancel the service, I waited 7 min. on hold for Customer Service before hanging up and trying again.
I called again and waited 4 min. before hanging up and trying again.
When I did reach someone, it took over 10 min. to cancel the service, and, they wanted to charge me another 33$...on top of the set-up charge and monthly charges I had already paid.
Please make certain I am not charged 33$.
Thank You.
Respectfully-
-Richard

Hi Richard and thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. With regards to the hold times you experienced - it's very rare to have to wait to speak with a customer service agent, but it just so happens that you called while we were migrating our Automatic Call Distribution system to a new platform. As you can imagine, this is a major migration for a call center business like ours, and unfortunately, we experienced some issues initially that resulted in atypical wait times. We of course worked to quickly correct these problems and outside of this once in a decade migration, we pride ourselves in achieving our SLA of answering 90% of calls within 20 seconds – or said another way, an “average speed of answer” of 12 seconds.
As for your free trial - we’re sorry we weren’t able to accommodate your request to only begin billing your account after you’d received your first legitimate call from a customer but short of situations where some issue prevented you from having the opportunity to actually trial our services during the 14-day period, it’s generally not our policy to indefinitely extend free trials. We have, however, refunded your account for all charges for the previous month and will be reaching out again soon to ensure your credit is received and we hope to speak to you soon.

I called in myself and the lack of professionalism was amazing. Receptionist who answered the phone didn't seem to know what was going on. Said she had to pull my file. She definitely did not give the impression that she worked at my office!!
Considering answering the phone call myself.

Hi Merrily. While we’re disappointed to hear that your experience with PATLive so far has been anything less than excellent, we appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback. We strive to do a fantastic job with every call we answer, but sometimes we fall short. As a people powered business, the reality is that sometimes team members make mistakes that we wish they wouldn’t. We’ve tried reaching out to discuss your situation in more detail but haven’t been able to reach you yet. We’ll try you again, but if it’s easier for you reach out when it’s convenient for you, we’re available by phone, chat and email 24/7. Thanks, and we look forward to speaking with you.

An hour long recording of a phone ringing was sent to me. And when I emailed about it, I have not gotten a response as to why.

Defiantly not a perfect solution but numbers bare out that they get the job done collectively. Reps experience and training and thus caller’s experience can vary greatly. Not ideal. However, better than no one answering calls or going to voicemail.

Hi David and thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. We’re glad that you’re enjoying aspects of the service but disappointed to hear that your overall impression has been anything short of excellent so far. One of our team members will be reaching out to learn more and to discuss how we can make improvements to the way agents are handling your calls. If it’s more convenient for you, though, please feel free to reach out directly by phone, chat or email to jumpstart the process – our customer service team is available 24/7.
Not that great.
Incorrect information given to customers and the messages that are sent to us do not include all of the information that was discussed on the call between patlive and our customers. We were hoping to rely heavily on patlive but the quality does not match the price. A positive is that the people answering the calls are very nice.

Hi Andrew and thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. We’re disappointed to hear that your experience with PATLive so far has been anything less than excellent. We strive to do a fantastic job with every call we answer, accurately recording and relaying what’s uniquely important to each customer’s business, but sometimes we fall short. We hope the recent updates that we’ve made to your call script help our agents to improve in the areas that you identified. If you have any additional questions or concerns in the meantime, though, please don’t hesitate to reach out by phone, chat or email – our customer service team is available 24/7.

Hi Joe and thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. We’re so sorry about the confusion and issues you had with your free trial - we’ve tried reaching out several times to help you restart it, but as of yet have been unable to reach you. We’ll try you again, but in the event that we still can’t reach you, please contact us by phone, chat, or email anytime and one of our team members will be happy to assist you with reactivating your account and restarting your free trial.
Very friendly staff
Very friendly staff. But they were not always knowledgeable on questions asked about the service. Also it was sometimes a little difficult to schedule to speak to someone specific about a specific issue.

Hi Ada and thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. We’re really sorry to hear that the agent you spoke with provided a less than excellent experience, and we’ll certainly address this in their next coaching session. It looks like one of our team members was able to get in touch with you since then and was able to help you resolve your questions regarding your plan. Our team has also tried reaching out to assist with your requested script changes, but haven't been able to reach you yet. We'll try you again, but if it’s easier for you to reach out when it’s convenient for you, we’re available by phone, chat, and email 24/7.
Friendly greetings

I am still getting many hang up calls
I am still getting many hang up calls. I thought the solution was for the caller to be required to select #6 in effort to decrease the number of robot calls but this has not resolved the problem. To be effective, the required #6 should be placed before the announcement of my name so that I am not paying for hang ups.

Hi Magdalena, thank you for the feedback. Upon further review of your account, we found an opportunity to make enhancements that we believe will help with the hangups. We have made the adjustments and credited your account for all the hangups last month. Thanks again for notifying us of the issue and please do not hesitate to reach out, we're here 24/7!
Rep was professional and courteous.

I was very pleased with the guidance and direction I received when I called in to determine what "hang up" responses were. I had received six hang ups, with no leads. The feedback I got was very helpful.
