Jeff, you should write Hallmark cards.![]()
His last e-mail was a bit weird......
Watch out Jeff, he's "reserving the other thing for later".....![]()
It's his business to run, and if he's making a grave customer service mistake, it will reflect on sales and his reputation.
Anyone with any sense could obviously see that the guy who emailed me was fighting to get a free rod. To hell with him.
I Love this place..Its like a normal disfunctional family.![]()
I look at it this way, if that's the worst part of your day you are doing pretty good.
If someone founds their own company, would it be professional to make a thread in their subforum calling somebody a douche and a retard?
There is a reason the customer sent his request in an email, and it was to remain private.
There is also reason people say "the customer is always right." Of course it doesn't mean they are, but it does mean hold your frustration behind clenched jaws and let it out on the wife at home.
Nobody thinks that the creators of the mighty Izula are guilty of some kind of heinous crime, but we would also like to think that if we had an odd customer request, we won't end up as the knife communities laughing stock.
It's just an unconventional approach toward customer relations. Would something like this ever stop me from buying that desert tan izula on my holiday list? Of course not. I just know not to call in and have a special request![]()
You have to understand there are people in this world who were not lucky enough to have the insane God-given intelligence level that you possess. Not wanting them to buy? What if for instance everyone in the world were this way, would you go out of business, or fight through the pain of dealing with them?
