Re: No Service Magic


I was ready to rumble too. But the guy at least apologized. Let's look for the thread he promised.
SM Rep-if you are still there, put that thread up asap!

S M Rep: Are you posting here on an official capacity of SM, or are you here just for shîts and giggles? We've also had to deal with SMSupport.

Sparky, glad you are checking this out. I had you (for one) in mind when posting above.
Even though you are a d:ckhead for sending me on a wild goose chase for a frequency converter for a dryer!

I didn't send you on a wild goose chase. There really are such things as frequency converters. Ever hear of a VFD?

I don't buy it. A company with about 1000 employees, annual sales of 120 million and supposedly these are official managers coming to places like this and post willy-nilly like 6 week rookies in the company? This is SM's offical corporate procedure? Guys who can't spell and type like a 16 year old text messaging his girl friend?



Hell, maybe I am just expecting too much? As I said, maybe this is why they regarded the way they are, if these guys are legit it says a lot for how that place runs.

I'd think with 120 million in sales you would hire somebody at around 100K who is a customer service specialist in this to work at it full time. I know there are plenty of good sized companies that employ software that sniffs out their name being posted on the internet, they follow blogs, forums, twitter, face book and others and have dedicated staff that deal with what they find. SM just has employees who volunteer with no company knowledge of what they are doing and spend their time on the weekends surfing the net?

Online reputation monitoring involves the tracking of undesirable search engine results, Web rumors and conversations, as represented in the content across online media.

This commentary is often not limited to the Web search, news search and blog results. It can also appear in photo and image sharing web sites, such as Flickr and YouTube, social networking sites (MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn,) online forums and complaint sites like the RipoffReport.com and Complaints.com, social news/bookmarking sites (Digg/Delicious,) and microblogging sites like Twitter.

Re: No Service Magic


Sparky, I may stand completely ignorant and corrected. I haven't heard of a VFD. This is something I haven't dealt with before and is intriguing. Is there really something that is not cost prohibitive that might make this thing work?
In my 12 years as a licensed electrician, I never even considered this or was ever faced with it.
When I did checking on the frequency converter, it seemed as though the only ones available were the size of a volkswagen and about the same price. I really thought you were messing with me.
Any guidance you can provide would be appreciated.
Ron

Ahh... I see, I re-read this. So your situation is which of the following ? :

A) I have a cube and a head set.
B) I work out of my house.
C) I am a sales 'manager' but there is no one who reports to me.
D) I have an office, I manage a team of sales people who spend their days 'selling' by sitting in a cube and taking incoming calls.
E) I am a dedicated SM customer service representative and all I do 100% of the time is resolved customer service complaints and problems.'
F) I work out of the call center in Lenexa, KS as an inside "sales consultant" with a 28K base plus commision.

Re: No Service Magic


Maybe they're out sourcing Mike and he lives in South America.
After all,a lot of services are done this way?

Could be the reason for his misspelling and no caps.

I just can't get over the terrible grammar.
They must think we are just a bunch of toothless morons who will believe anything a big company says.
MONGO LIKE CANDY

I heard he recently died. Is that true? (I mean Mongo actor)

Forget it: I just looked him up and according to IMBD he's still kicking, I must be mistaken.

One more thing, Mike if you need some asurance of who I am, JUST CALL
Why do I need to call you?
You're the one who nobody knows who you are, the onus is on you to prove yourself.

Here are some facts that you need to understand are facts and not just rumors. These facts are what you need to operate off of and take to heart.

#1 You're not the 1st person to come here, we've all been through you before.

#2 Nobody knows exactly who you are (if you want to leave it at that-- don't be suprised when you get your ass handed to you by about 30 people here (it will come believe me- as I said, you aren't the 1st person to come here))

#3 - this is one of your biggest mistakes right here:

You are either absolutely clueless if you think this is always been about 1 or 2 people not getting treated right, or like those before you, you play the same game of pretending nothing has really happened before.

If you have any sense to you, you should know that the 1st step to diffuse a customer service issue is to AKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM not try to belittle or downplay it.




As I asked what are you?

A) I have a cube and a head set.
B) I work out of my house.
C) I am a sales 'manager' but there is no one who reports to me.
D) I have an office, I manage a team of sales people who spend their days 'selling' by sitting in a cube and taking incoming calls.
E) I am a dedicated SM customer service representative and all I do 100% of the time is resolved customer service complaints and problems.'
F) I work out of the call center in Lenexa, KS as an inside "sales consultant" with a 28K base plus commission.

This is where I would advise you to start. Identify who you are, start off on the right foot and then you are taking the 1st steps to establish rapport with the user base here.

Re: No Service Magic


Jake,

Jake,

Jake,


Honestly whats your point, here? Spit it out, we are all ears!


For starters you should introduce yourself to the entire site here at CT, as the rules suggest you do, when you registered. Not hide back on a sub-board beneath the depths.

Example:

Hey everyone I am Jake,

I am from Service Magic, I have done a search here on Service Magic, and have read every last word discussed here about our company. It seems our company has Poor Business Practices, and I am here to rescue our reputation, reverse the poor practices, and restore your faith. I am young, and have a huge chip on my shoulder. So on, and so forth....

Not excluding your plan of attack, to repair this contractor bond.


Serioulsly in 22 posts you have not followed the rules, done ANY prior homework and/ or research, type like sheit, missing words, etc.

Do you really feel attacked?

You just showed up in the middle of an on going thread, and you expect instant results, and to be treated as an exceptionable upstanding Service Magic Representive. Get a Clue!


When your company authorizes reimbursement checks to all these contractors on here they STOLE money from, they may be more apt to talk. Until then prepare yourself, Writing a Thread!!!

Jake, you may want to take a look here as well.... http://forums.jlconline.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=49057

but shawn has been mia for a couple of weeks

And the previous 2 posters nailed it. If you can't "get" what they're talking about, you're done before you really started.
