​YOUR CUSTOMER'S EXPERIENCE

  • Your customers are always greeted with a friendly message and handled according to your customized script.
  • Typically, if there is a current power outage being addressed, all callers first hear, "Thank you for calling Valley Electric. We are currently addressing outages in the College Hill and Highway 41 areas. If you have further information or need other assistance, please stay on the line."
  • Callers choose a menu option to report an outage, have their power restored, or speak with an operator. 
  • ​If the caller is on the disconnect list, our system provides disconnect callers with reconnection procedures as well as their current outstanding balance and any reconnection fees.  
  • If the caller wishes to report an outage, operators collect vital outage information according to your customized procedures. 
  • Operators contact appropriate on-call personnel according to your customized procedures  
  • Callers always have the option of speaking with a live person.  
  • As power is restored during an outage, recordings are updated and customers are contacted to confirm power restoration.
