17.

During closing, if customer has an additional issue, help by transferring to another agent.
Correct Answer
B. False

During closing, it is not appropriate to transfer the customer to another agent if they have an additional issue. Closing is the final stage of the customer interaction, where the agent is expected to resolve all the customer's concerns and bring the conversation to a satisfactory conclusion. Transferring the customer to another agent at this point would disrupt the closing process and potentially lead to frustration for the customer. It is more efficient and effective for the agent who initially handled the interaction to address any additional issues before closing the conversation.
20.
If I receive a call warm transferred from an internal Sprint department and the Sprint Representative states that he/she has already authenticated the caller, do I need to re-authenticate the caller?

This helps in maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of the system and the data it contains.

Therefore, the statement "Once the PIN is set up, Ensemble will automatically delete the Passcode" is true.

One of the reasons why services on an SL account can be restricted:
Correct Answer
C. Past due
Explanation
Services on an SL account can be restricted if the account is past due. This means that the account holder has not made the required payments within the specified time period. When an account is past due, the service provider may restrict certain services as a way to encourage the account holder to make the necessary payments. This restriction is a measure taken to ensure that the service provider is compensated for the services provided and to encourage timely payment in the future.
37.
One of the reasons why services on an SL account can be restricted:
Correct Answer
C. Past due
Explanation
Services on an SL account can be restricted if the account has a past due balance. This means that the account holder has not paid their bills on time and as a result, the service provider has restricted or limited their access to certain services. When an account is past due, the service provider may suspend or restrict services until the outstanding balance is paid off. This is a common practice to ensure that customers fulfill their financial obligations and to prevent further accumulation of unpaid bills.
38.
Another reason why an SL account can be restricted

B. Exceeds spending limit
Explanation
An SL account can be restricted if it exceeds the spending limit. This means that if the account spends more money than the set limit, certain restrictions may be imposed on the account.

Exceeding the spending limit is a common reason for account restrictions as it helps to prevent overspending and protect the account holder from financial risks.

The term "late notice" implies that the account is already overdue or past the due date, whereas the phrase "friendly reminder" indicates a more informal and early notification. Therefore, the second text message would be appropriate when the account is nearing ASL suspension, as it would serve as a stronger reminder to the customer.
