Sales and Reservations Quiz - Basic Training This quiz is designed to test whether you know the basics to handle sales and reservations, and you read all of the documents on your portal. Question Title * 1. What is your first and last name? (Required.) Question Title * 2. What do you do if you can't open pdfs on your computer? (Required.) Download and install Adobe PDF Reader using the link on your portal under software. Just don't worry about it. All your questions can be easily answered by calling or texting management or coworkers at least 15 times a day while they try to answer calls and do their own work. None of the above Question Title * 3. What email needs to be sent if it's an airport pickup and the airline or flight number are missing? (Required.) Receipt Luggage Airline or Flight Missing None of the above Question Title * 4. What do you do if you can't open Excel files on your computer? (Required.) Download and Install Apache OpenOffice for free from the link under software on your portal. Reservations Pay is in Excel, so you will probably have to install OpenOffice before you can open it. Just don't worry about it. You don't need to know how your pay is calculated or how well you did during the last pay period. None of the above Question Title * 5. Why do you answer the phones on the first ring? (Required.) More customers will hang up and call your competition every second you make them wait on hold. You need to sell more than $150 per hour on the average to earn your sales bonus. More individual sales equals bigger sales bonus every two weeks. If you need more calls, text management, don't just take long breaks and miss out on your bonus. Not answering calls quickly and sharing the workload will get you terminated. Management can see every call you answer, how long you are on each call, calls missed, and how long it's been since your last call. Calls are expensive, and making as many sales as possible out of every call is your job. Question Title * 6. What is your first goal on every call unless the customer already has a reservation. (Required.) Give them a quote and explain why we're better. Often you will have to think on your toes and redirect them, so they don't end the call before you give them a quote and make a sale. Customers don't have a lot of patience, so try to earn their trust and move them through the process quickly. Be friendly, respect their time, and avoid making mistakes. Burn the call right away by not redirecting them and take the next call, because you probably won't make a sale if they are calling for a different company or give you some other objection. None of the above Question Title * 7. How do you handle objections? (Required.) Redirect them Give them a quote Book it anyway Let the customer take over the call and hang up on you. None of the above Question Title * 8. Why is there a 30% cancellation fee when the customer cancels greater than 48 hours ahead of time. (Required.) 30% was already spent on advertising, customer service, credit card processing, software, etc. when they cancelled. Because we make money by charging the 30% cancellation fee. None of the above Question Title * 9. Why is our service better? (Required.) Groome, Super, and Greyhound operate like a bus with a fixed route. We pickup and drop-off at any address in Arizona or Texas Unlike other competitors we respect your time, so you don't have to wait 30 minutes or an hour to get picked up. We also don't add an hour or more to your trip by picking up and dropping off other customers. We don't use small cars like Lyft or Uber, so no Toyota Priuses. All our vehicles are full sized and luxury like a Lincoln or Lexus. Our drivers are all professionally trained to pickup and drop-off at the airport, help with bags, get the door, and engage in friendly conversation or stay quiet, so you don't have to babysit them or repeatedly request a different driver and worry about $10 Lyft cancellation fees. We actually have customer service and an emergency number you can reach 24/7, not just an app. Question Title * 10. What do you do if a customer wants to cancel their reservation? (Required.) Change the order status to cancelled. Send the Cancellation email. Remove the driver if one is assigned. Tell the customer they can reschedule for free and use the payment as a travel credit when they reschedule or request a refund by replying to the cancellation email. Travel credits never expire. Just leave it confirmed with a driver assigned. The driver and managers love to waste their time, and the driver won't be paid since the customer is due a refund. Reassure the customer so they won't cancel, and then you don't have to do all the steps above. Question Title * 11. Why is it very important that you book everything without asking, and regardless of what dispatchers say? (Required.) Customers have zero patience for I'll call you back or waiting on hold. The first thing they do is call another company, so you just lost the sale and burned the call by not booking it right away. Your job is to make as many sales as possible. Dispatches job is to cover as many trips as possible. Normally, we can always do it. In rare exceptions we send a Lyft as an emergency backup or we issue them a full refund. So be confident and just book it. If it's not blocked in the software by a regional manager or higher, then it's ok to book it regardless of what the local manager says. Local managers are not allowed to block anything. Sometimes dispatchers will complain like it's impossible because they have no vehicle or driver, and then somehow it gets covered. That's their job. Just ignore it. None of the above Question Title * 12. If you make a reservation inside Ridebits without using the website, what needs to be done that's out of the ordinary? (Required.)
