We can have “bad” experiences with a service provider. Yes, we might pop with the temptation to “badmouth” them as we request their help. Oh my, many of our friends will eagerly cheer us on in complaint. Hmm. What about a more creative and effective approach? Read on…

The Scoop

On a recent morning Ines went to use her computer and realized she had no internet. She felt a distress rise. She had an appointment that morning, checked the clock and decided she had time for a quick call to the provider to get a repair ticket going.

On that first call she made it through the automated phone screening, got put through to those service people but no one picked up the call. She heard a room full of chatter and noise but nothing else. Oh, dear she felt a bit of aggravation start to rise.

Six months prior our star had had a traumatizing series of interactions with this provide resulting in having no service for 10 days.

At that time Ines had become very distressed, struggled with the situation, felt frustration and shared about her difficulty a lot, upgraded her phone to handle paying bills in the service gap and more. So many friends jumped on the bandwagon to agree that the provider she had was “awful” with a poor record for service.

In the present at lunch time this dear woman sat calmly to call for a service repair.  Inside Ines felt an impulse to start with her sad story from six months ago and adopt a disgruntled attitude.  “Really,” Ines said to herself “Are you devoted to inner work? Do you want to step into a new moment? Yes I do. Dump that complaining tone!

Let me address this person with an authentic well-mannered request for assistance. Let me be in the flow.”

Before too long after a stint on hold, the customer service person offered her a repair slot for the next day.

The inner dialogue: “I do have commitments for tomorrow. This company wants customers to have an eight-hour day free to wait for the service. In my schedule I don’t have a whole business day free till a week from now.”

Insight from a Higher Source spoke, “Dear One, cancel those morning appointments. Go with the flow here, it will be fixed in no time!”

This heroine followed her wiser self and next day awaited the repairman.  He came midmorning and completed the fix in less than one hour.  The job was accomplished in less than twenty-four hours from when she called it in. Such an easy experience this time!

Ines insisted on living an open and cooperative attitude and wow what a big difference that made!

Have you had occasions when you withheld a frustrated blaming tone and chose to interact with a fresh good-natured approach? Did you see results? Let’s hear about it! We inspire one another.
