Jimena's empathetic ear goes beyond the metrics in today's age of chatbots, dashboards, and algorithmic mundanity. While handling one of the customers, who was migrating their line to avoid losing the phone number during a telecom transition, Jimena felt that the customer didn't sound okay. During their conversation, she later got to know that the customer was dealing with her husband's demise. She comforted her for hours, and in the end, nobody could tell whether an agent and customer were talking or just two friends, where one is comforting the other.

“You are like my grandson, and I would have hugged you if you were here in person,” said Elijah’s 85-year-old customer, who had returned home from the hospital after recovering from Covid, but lost her spouse to the disease. On reaching home she realized that none of her electronic devices were functional, and also that she had been scammed of $3000. She was clueless as her husband managed all of these things over the years for her. Though, the protocol is to resolve any technical query within minutes, Elijah stayed on the call for 4 hours to ensure that she was able to wade through all these issues, set up relevant accounts and fix the technical issues with her devices, leaving the customer with a big smile. And as for Elijah? "It's a pleasure and a moment of euphoria. I thank my team, manager, and colleagues who fueled my passion. Above all, happy to be part of the CSS family.”
