From the Eye of the Potato: Train the people that deal with your customers.


I called a support number the other day?I got the message! A recorded female voice said that I must call during a certain time period and "goodby."


My first impression was: My this lady hates working for a living?and me!


Then I thought: She can't be that bad?just not properly trained.


Maybe she should listen to the telephone message systems of big corporations:


"Thank you for calling Big Corporation. Your call is very important to us. If you speak English, press one. Si usted habla espa?ol, toca dos"


This may go on for French, Italian, German Cheap J.J. Watt Jersey , Japanese and Chinese. In fact, you could swim to China by the time you get to a live person. But still, your call is important to them so you sit there listening to music you hate, waiting, waiting?


I Called the Lady Back to See What She Was Really Like


Finally Cheap Cullen Gillaspia Jersey , I got the person who made the recording. Her name was Mildred. She was 75 years old and as sweet as a President Reagan Jelly Belly?.


Mildred was not a rude person that intentionally turns customers away. Yet I'm sure that some get her telephone message and never call back. I'm sure that some drop their affiliation with the company.


The problem was not with Mildred, but with the message. She gave the facts about the hours and the fax machine, but she didn't say it like the "Big Boys." She could have said:


Thank you for calling. Your call is very important to us. However, we offer telephone service only between 1.00 AM and 3:00 PM Pacific Time. Please call back during our telephone hours. Thanks again for calling!


Up Thar' in Canada


We were camping north of Montreal years ago when the owner of the camp said that we had parked our camper in the wrong spot during the night. He was, as they say Cheap Kahale Warring Jersey , rude, crude, and unattractive.


What did we do? We packed up, drove to the office, Cheap Max Scharping Jersey , paid the bill, and moved to another camp. He lost a week's rent because of his rude behavior, and we easily found another camp that actually had numbers on the camping sites.


Forgiven Them For They Know Not What They Do


Here, I'm talking about perfectly innocent working people who don't realize that when dealing with the public (your customers), they come over as being rude Cheap Lonnie Johnson Jersey , short (curt), even obnoxious. Haven't you noticed that some employees even avoid customers?


On the Jerry Seinfeld Show, the character Kramer shows obnoxious behavior. Typical is his entry into Jerry's apartment, barging in without knocking and going straight to the refrigerator. Would you buy a used car from Kramer? At times he drives me away from the show.


George and Elaine are also misfits?people who you wouldn't want to as.
