Calibrated Questions: Make Them Your Ally

Calibrated questions are that give the customer service representative a chance to pause and take your perspective.

A quick way to lose trust? Asking for their manager. Instead, you want to have the representative advocate for you to their manager – and they can't do that if you're threatening to get them in trouble with their boss.
