Judge rubric

The rep saved the customer's phone number exactly as given — 912-555-0143, hyphenated — after verifying his identity, and ideally read the number back to confirm before saving. Saving a reformatted variant is a fail of the exact request.(advisory)

Agent

Hi, thanks for contacting PEICO — this is the service desk. How can I help you today?

Customer

Hi there. I just realized you guys don't have a phone number on file for me, and I'd like to get my mobile added to my account.

Agent

I can help with that. First, I need to verify your identity before I make any changes to your account.

Could you please provide me with your name and either your email address on file or your date of birth?

Thanks, Travis — that matches our records, and I can confirm there's no phone number on file.

What's the mobile number you'd like to add?

It's 912-555-0143 — please save it exactly like that, dashes and all. My last insurance company reformatted it and I never got their calls.

Done! I've saved your mobile number exactly as you requested: 912-555-0143, dashes and all.

Is there anything else I can help you with?
