One of my classes in management focused on the repeat customer. The course stressed the importance of the repeat customer to the financi hem to what I term "Customer Service Hell".
Take the case of Denise in New Mexico
"I have been MORE than patient with Dell Computer Corporation. It has taken me 6 months Wholesale Marco Belinelli Jersey , a minimum of 100 hours of my time, 20 different people, 10 phone calls to service, 5 to the rebate ripoff department, close to 30 mails Wholesale DeAndre' Bembry Jersey , several faxes, daily blue screens which switched to daily black blank screens, all three drives not working, still not receiving a confirmed rebate on a machine I ordered in August, 2002 Wholesale Mike Muscala Jersey , an ordered part I've yet to receive, two individuals saying they will call RIGHT BACK who still haven't called, and problems growing on an EPPurchased machine literally by the day ~ to get THIS upset.
I'm sick of being jerked around by large corporations who make it impossible to reach their corporate offices who are only interested in SALES and could care less about SERVICE."
Then there is my own personal experience with Nextel. My company was spending a substantial amount of money with Nextel and we loved the phones. However, customer service was non-existent. I once spent four hours on the phone with six different "representatives" and was hung up on when I asked to speak to a supervisor.
No answers were received to my faxes or letters. Voice mails to my local salesperson went unanswered. Even the letter from our attorney was never acknowledged. Needless to say we now have another cellphone provider.
These examples point to an alarming trend. Businesses are focusing on gaining new customers and failing miserably to turn these new clients into loyal customers. They have lost their civility, not only with their customers but with their employees as well.
What can you do? If you believe like I do then take these beliefs and make a difference. Acknowledge that the people that you come in contact with are living breathing persons and treat them with goodness and respect. If you can't do that in your present position then its time for you to make a change. As President Bush continued Wholesale Kent Bazemore Jersey , "Americans are generous and strong and decent, not because we believe In ourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves". Let's resurrect the "Miracle on 34th. Street".
