Hollister's HOTTake
You know what every AFC needs?
Start
Set the Scene
The AFC was logged into a team meeting when a customer’s call came through. They tried to answer while listening to the discussion, but the audio conflicted and the connection dropped mid‑hello. When the meeting ended, the AFC glanced at their phone to see the missed call, already preparing to reach back out and explain they’d been tied up in a Teams meeting when the next meeting began... they stressed knowing they could not get to the customer before the 3 hour window!!!
WE NEED - A PAGER!!!
Pagers provide a critical backup communication tool that ensures AFCs are reachable anytime, anywhere (during core hours) ;)
BENEFITS OF A PAGER
- Strong signal penetration
- Long battery life
- Dedicated emergency alert device
- Impossible to ignore (when it's on your hip)
- A quick note to ping you with your customer's need
- Cheaper than a cell phone!
- Pretty cool
Pros over a phone
......but Hollister why a pager when we have emails?
In short, email is good for documentation and non‑urgent communication, but a pager is better when customer service demands speed, clarity, and accountability
Less noise: Email is overloaded with CCs, threads, and announcements. A pager cuts through that clutter with a single, focused message. Faster response times: Pagers prompt immediate acknowledgment or callback, which is critical for time‑sensitive customer issues. Reliability: Pagers don’t rely on email servers, inbox syncs, or constant app monitoring, making them dependable during outages or busy workflows
