When it comes to vulnerable customers, we believe that

Are you ok?

is the only way to start the conversation.

How TellJO works

1

A customer is sent a link to a TellJO wellbeing check, based on your objectives this could be after a missed payment or period of non-engagement. The message asks:

Are you ok

When they respond, we chat. In an average chat time of 7 minutes, TellJO asks around 90 questions.

And so do their customers.

Amazing to know there is help out there
The assessment made me see I was burying my head in the sand
It was just the kick up the bum I needed
It was the first time I had seen everything written down and it made me see I needed help
If it was not for the assessment, I wouldn’t have a payment plan in place to repay my council tax arrears
