One Call Does Everything

ssHEILo, hello, opera
Ill tor-look, I'm not a
photograph record. 7 just
want to check on my bill, but
I've talked to the accounting
department, which referred
me to the cashiers depart
ment, which referred me to
the adjustment office-and
now I've been switched again.
How many times do I have to
say it,"
BY January, 1910, the 1000
or more calls a day received
by the Washington Gas Light
Co. were frequently ending
with a question like this. Of
ficials of the company decided
to do something about it.
Months of consultation with
the Chesapeake & Potomac
Telephone Co. resulted in a
service particularly adapted
to the situation.
Evening star., 1949-07-24

Under this system, the first
of its kind in Washington, all
calls come directly into the
Gas Co.'S Telephone Service
Bureau. The customer talks
with only one employe, a men,
ber of the bureau staff. Re
gardless of the nature of the
business, the employe answer
ing the call can handle every
thing without transferring
the customer from one depart
ment to another. If neces-
sary, a three way communica-
ton can be set up among the
customer, the bureau employe
and a representative of a par
ticular department.
The majority of calls re-
ceived relate to service of
equipment or information
concerning accounts. People
sometimes call to request gen.
eral instructions on how to
Evening star., 1949-07-24

start gas furnaces or refriger-
ators.
Actually, the Telephone
Service Bureau equipment al
most thinks for itself. A call
coming in while all the phones
are busy is stored up" by the
equipment as an overflow call
and released in the order III
which it was received as soon
as a position in the bureau is
open. Each position has a reg
lister which counts calls and a
meter which indicates each
time a call is kept waiting
more than Is seconds for an
answer. Such a call is listed
as delayed" and the idea is
not to have too many of them.
When the bureau opened,
its board had positions for
IA persons. They handled
5000 calls and wrote 215, 300
orders the first year. Seven
years later the annual total
had grown to Gas, $50 calls and
$50, 400 orders.
Anticipating future growth,
the company recently in
stalled IL more positions
which. with four added in
l947, make a total of 80. w. ].
White, jr.. is supervisor of the
bureau.
