1 1 Email Collection Job Aid

2 2 Email is, without doubt, one of the most revolutionary enhancements made to modern communication in the last several decades. Its flow, speed, and functionality for data exchange and document exchange have been a real boon to strengthening customer relationships. On the other hand, if you cannot organize this powerful tool effectively, it can bring you some troubles too. Still, can you imagine life without email? Why Rogers/Fido encourages customers to register to Online Billing and why we ask for e-mail address? Supports a corporate-wide effort to move to digital communications Facilitates significant cost savings (vs. traditional communications channels such as print) E-mail addresses on file allow order confirmations to be sent along with information about special offers/promotions to customers as well as financially impacting changes made to a customer’s account via e-mail. IQ Links Confirm Email Address Update and Validate Contact Information The average cost of a printed and mailed communication is $1. This compares to about $0.08 for an email communication. Email Collection is Important

3 3 Email Collection – When to ask? Rogers listened to 100 calls to get a better understanding why our email collection efforts have not resulted in a 100% collection rate. In all 100 calls listened to during this study, customers who refused to give their email address to an agent do not volunteer a reason for the refusal. o Therefor it is important to probe the customer and use the positioning that is available in IQ.

5 5 Every 3 months the Reconfirm Email indicator in ICM will switch to “on”. When it does you are required to ask the customer for their email address. Why is it so important to confirm the customers email address if the Reconfirm Email indicator is on? We want to ensure that the email address we have on file for the customer is current. Customer will be able to receive all the benefits of having an up to date and current email address on file. Customers change their email address for many reasons Name Change Starting a New Business Escape Junk Email More Email Space Better Email Service IQ Link Reconfirm Email Indicator One in three people change their email address once a year, due to changing ISPs, switching jobs or just trying to out-run the spammers. Reconfirm Email Indicator

6 6 The Reconfirm Email Indicator applies to any level contact calling in when the indicator checkbox is checked. The following 5 options are presented in the View contact Window Declined –Customer Refused to provide Invalid – Email provided is invalid (do not select) No Email – Customer does not have an email address. Provided – Email address has been provided and entered into the email address field. Not yet Requested – Default (Do not select) Note: Declined button will remove an existing email address on the account. An IT fix will be going in for Feb 2013 to correct this issue. Only select “Declined” if the customer has asked that we do not keep their email address on file Reconfirm Email Indicator Continued Customers Email address already on File RogersCustomerSelectionResult DO“Mr./Mrs. Customer the email address we have on file from you is Johnsmith@rogers.com is this still a valid email address for you?” Johnsmith@rogers.com Yes No “Please provide me with your new address” ProvidedEmail on file will not be deleted and has been confirmed to be correct DON’T“Mr./Mrs. Can you please provide me with your email address? NoDeclinedEmail will be removed completely from ICM and we will no longer have email address on file for that customer. If there is an email address already on file in ICM ALWAYS confirm the email address with the customer, NEVER ask if they would like to provide or update their email address. A customer will be more inclined to correct an incorrect email address if they are asked to confirm it.

7 7 Common Questions What should you do if a customer does not want to provide/update their email address? You may find that no matter what you do a customer will not provide an email address, in some cases the customer will simply not have an email address to provide. In other cases the customer will have an email address but will be reluctant to provide it. There are a few ways to overcome this: Pick an appropriate time to ask the customer for their email address. If the customer is worried about receiving marketing material, advise them they can opt out at Rogers.com. Provide the customer with the benefits of having their updated email address on file. If the customer is concerned that we are asking them for their email to often, advise that we want to ensure we have the correct email on file. Again sell the benefits if necessary. If the customer is worried about spam or address sharing advise them that Rogers respects their privacy and will not share their email outside of Rogers.

The reconfirm indicator in ICM is on, when should I ask the customer for their email address? You can ask the customer for their email address at anytime during a call. Having said that we have found the best time to ask a customer for their email address is at the end of the call. At the start of a call a customer will be reluctant to provide or update their email address as this is not their primary reason for calling Rogers. Opportunities to collect a customers email address can happen at anytime during a call, the key is to spot the opportunities!
