1Question

Tell me about a time you dealt with a difficult customer claim and how you resolved it

A customer called extremely frustrated about their vehicle repair claim being delayed for 3 weeks. I listened carefully to understand their concerns and discovered the third party garage hadn't submitted required documentation. I immediately contacted the garage manager, expedited the missing paperwork, and personally followed up twice daily. I also arranged a courtesy car for the customer while we processed their claim. Within 48 hours, I had approval for their £2,400 repair and the customer thanked me for turning their experience around. This resulted in a 5-star feedback score and the customer recommending our service to 2 colleagues.
2Question

Describe a situation where you had to work under significant pressure to meet targets

During our busiest period in December, we had 40% more claims than usual with the same team size. I was handling 95 calls daily instead of my usual 65, while maintaining quality standards. I prioritised urgent claims, streamlined my note-taking process, and used brief hold times to quickly research customer accounts. I also supported 3 newer team members by sharing quick resolution techniques. Despite the pressure, I exceeded my monthly target by processing 1,850 claims versus the 1,600 target, maintaining 97% customer satisfaction throughout the period.
