I received an email reminding me the Outrageous Interactions contest has almost come to a close. Only days remain in fact for you to submit your story and potentially win a trip to Hawaii. Here is an email Interactive Intelligence just sent me and I am passing it along as a reminder to those of you with seriously funny stories who haven’t had a chance to share them with us yet.
You have to give Interactive Intelligence credit. They are always doing things which make my job and your career more exciting. 🙂
Interactive Intelligence’s “Outrageous Interactions” Contest Counting Down
Call Center Agents Invited to Submit For a Chance to Win Trip to Hawaii
Another contest submission stated: “Another interesting set of [wrong-number] calls came from people calling our call center for basically the Maytag repairman. This took a little investigation and again we started asking callers where they found our number and after drilling a couple of the callers and having them read back the number they were trying to reach we discovered that the number they were reading to us didn’t contain a toll free number such as 1-800 but an area code instead. After explaining to one of them that they were calling 1-800-XXX-XXXX instead of the area code they were reading off to us, the caller said, yes, but I didn’t want to have to pay for the long distance so I used 1-800 instead of the area code.”
Interactive Intelligence is still accepting submissions and counting down on TMCnet until the closing date Aug. 31. Keep watching TMCnet for more outrageous stories from the contest. The winner will receive airfare and hotel accommodations for a trip for two to Hawaii.
If you think you have the winning story with one of your crazy interactions, you can submit it or get more information.

August 22, 2008 at 11:24 pmI’m afraid I’m a bit too late on this contest. WE have our own local contest here in my country and i am busy with taking a look at other contests and joining but this time I guess I’m too late. Anyway, I’ll be back here some other time to see more.
Thanks,
Sam
