Looking for Stephanie

Understanding Me, Myself

Due to the bad economic and worse cashflow, my boss not only urge me but threatening me to go and collect debt from the customer. Hence, want or don’t want I have to do it.

There’s one customer which I used to contact pertaining the payment. However since that for the past 1 year there isn’t much dealing, the account lady I forgotten her name. Hence, here’s my first conversation / phone call.

Operator : Hello. XXXX company.
Me : Hi there. Can you pass me to Stephanie from Accounts/Finance department?
Operator : One moment.

*** waiting song ***

*someone answered…*
Me : Hi there.. Stephanie?
Charlie : Stephanie on leave today wor. Who’s there?
Me : I’m from XYZ and hereby wanted to check on the payment status. Anyone can help me?
Charlie : what you wanna check? Marketing invoice? Quote or?
Me : Huh….? No no. I wanted to check on the payment status.
Charlie : for what? You want quote?
Me : urgh.. no. Accounts Department ?
Charlie : This is Marketing department…
Me : ok. Nvm.. I call the operator again.

*Another attempt*

Operator : Hello. XXXX company.
Me : Hi there. Can you pass me to Accounts/Finance department?
Operator : One moment.

Johnny : Hi. Finance department.
Me : Hi there.. I’m calling from XYZ to enquire about the payment status. Is Stephanie in?
Johnny : Stephanie in Marketing department.
Me : Huh? Last time I also talked to Stephanie on the payment 1….
Johnny : You SURE you talked to the right person?

*I kept silence. Suddenly realised that the person I talked to last time wasn’t Stephanie.*

Me : uhm. I think I recalled the wrong person. It suppose to be Sam.
Johnny : Sam! Ah.. now u making sense.
Me : …. =.=”
Johnny : She is engaged on the other line. Mind call back later?
Me : ok..

*hang up with such embarassment*

    still manageable. at least to say. coz it wasn’t face to face in person. Over the phone. they might not know who anyway.
