Did you know about zero tolerance

I recentely had a technical problem with a company so I called to resolve the issue. After several minutes of conversation with the customer service representive I found out this person was not able to help me. So I asked her name again and wrote it down and asked to speak to her supervisor. Ofcourse she went own to explain that her supervisor was going to say exactly what she die... I kindly reminded that person that her supervisor does not answer to her but she answers to him... So could I please speak to him. Now the reason that I ask to speak to the supervisor, was because I was following the chain of command. Which is what you should do anytime you have a question comment or concern in regards to a issue or complaint with any company! Now the supervisor came on the phone and was the absoulte rudest person that I had ever talked to in my life, who claimed that she was a Manager. She told me what she was not going to do anything and she did not care... I went on to tell her that if she did not believe nothing else that she should believe that I was going to call to report her because how she acted was not a good representation of that company... She was proud to give me her name and a number to call, saying that she ran her department and no one was over her. So, I called the number and it was the wrong number but they transfered me right back to her same department. So I started explaining the issue to another supervisor that had just happened to field my call. As he listened to me explain my problem he stated that he was very sorry, then he looked at the call log. The next comment that he made surprised me... that person was nothing more than a supervisor like him. He asked me to hold on a minute while he found his manager. Now when the manager came to the phone, he explained that he was briefely brieded on what had happened by the supervisor and he asked me to explain what happen in my own words. So I explained to him in great detail what had happened, he appoligize and helped me reolve the issue that I was having. Now before the manager got off the phone he said that the situation that happened with that supervisor would be taken care of immediately. So now here is where we get to zero tolerance... Because that person was rude to me that was unexceptable and was grounds for termination! The company pulled the call records and listen to the call and immediately fired that person on the spot...

Please always remember that every company has a protocal that they must follow. If you are not happy with the actions of any individual within a company you have a right to follow the chain of command.

Did you know there is a secret to buying a car?

I received a question the other day about how to buy a car and get a good price.

So San ask me "How can she get a good price when she buys a car"? So because I used to sell car I will share a few things for the common buyer to know

Did you know that when a car sits on a car lot longer than a month that the dealership has to pay interest on that unit until it is sold?

Did you know that a smaller dealership is less likely to haggle on price.

Did you know that the more elite the car the less likely they will be willing to negotiating the price.

Did you know that a dealership that does a lot of advertising are more willing to work with you as far negotiating a price.

Did you know when dealerships advertise to sell a car at a great price, that they are trying to move that car?

Did you know what every car dealership has a Pack? A pack is what a dealership figures as a added cost to fix minor problems on a car.

Did you know that the price the dealership paid for the car is added with the pack.The price of the car + pack = total price.

Did you know that the Total Price is what most dealership will sell a car for, although if you are really set on your price negotiate to not pay the pack...

Did you know when you purchase a brand new car you loose 25% of what you paid for the car?

Did you know that if you purchased a brand new car drove it off the lot and came back the next day and tried to sell the car you paid $30,000 dollars for that the dealership would offer you about $22,000 dollars for that same car?

Did you know that you can buy a pre-owned car with 5 to 10,000 miles, can save you as much as 8 to 10,000 off the retail price.

Did you know that the absolute best time to buy a car is when the new models are coming out, that is September /October.

What do I need to know when I am ready to buy?

Did you know that you should always do your homework before buying any car... Know the value of your car and the value of the car you interested in. That way they don't steal your trade.

Did you know that stealing a trade is when the dealership offers you less money for your trade, than its actually worth!

Did you know that you should always have a car fax done on any car that you buy?

Did you know that if you buy a car "as is" you are still protected by the Lemon Law?

Did you know to never discuss the trade-in until after you have agreed on a purchase price. Also keep in mind that you may receive more money selling your present car privately than by trading it in.

Did you know to always test drive the car. Make sure you test it on hills, highways, and stop-and-go traffic. Check out its heating, defrosting and air conditioning systems and make sure all electronic features are working well.

Did you know to not sign any agreement with blank spaces. Make sure all items are filled in correctly and that you receive copies of the paperwork.

Did you know that you should always get all agreements for fixing things something broke in writing, without that its your word against theirs!
