Associate Failed to Cancel Procedure

Associate Failed to Cancel Procedure

Requests to cancel must be processed immediately upon request if the agent is authorized to take action on the warranty. Sales efforts must be enacted on interactions involving a request for cancellation or a clear implication of cancellation. Failure to process cancellations as requested will be considered an attempt to avoid the cancellation. 

If a caller indicates they previously requested to be cancelled or to be set up for non-renewal, or did not agree to the save/renewal, save efforts must be made by the agent receiving the call. If sales efforts fail, the warranty must be cancelled by the associate handling the current call. The agent will enter a request in QuickBase for the previous agent’s interaction to be reviewed by a Supervisor. Once the review is completed, the agent will be made aware of the outcome and the appropriate party will take ownership of the cancellation.  

Process

Agent receives failure to cancel call from customer.

  1. Failures to cancel can be indicated by one of the following:
    1. Customer has the time/date of when they previously cancelled
    2. Customer has a cancel number they can provide
    3. There are clear notes in TIMX SCM that the agent received a cancel request
    4. Customer provides agents name for cancellation previously requested
  2. You must make sales efforts to attempt to retain the customer.
  3. If sales efforts fail, you must cancel the warranty in TIMX.
  4. Enter a request in QuickBase under the “Cancel – Rep Failed to Cancel” or “Sears – Rep Failed to Cancel” reason codes for the previous agent’s interaction to be reviewed by a Supervisor.
