Under New Management
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Business' attitudes have done a full 180. It used to be that
|
|
a business cared about the customers, and actually strived to make them
|
|
happy. Anytime a customer was upset the business would bend over for
|
|
the customer to make sure they were happy and would continue to trade
|
|
there.
|
|
|
|
Today however, things are quite the opposite. Businesses look
|
|
at it like "we can always get more customers" and they are right. When
|
|
a business screws an individual they usually give little more than a
|
|
"sorry" before shoving you out the front door. Letters to management
|
|
go unanswered, if you call in to speak with someone about a problem
|
|
or yanking your business you mysteriously get put on hold, etc.
|
|
Over the past few months I have noticed this trend with disgust.
|
|
Working in retail a few years ago ended up teaching me the fundamentals
|
|
of good business, and how to keep a customer. The Best Buy I worked at
|
|
was endlessly kissing irate customers' asses, giving stuff away for
|
|
free to apease people, and making special provisions for tough customers.
|
|
The management never hesitated to go out of their way to make the
|
|
customer happy. As a result, business was extremely good, and in the
|
|
long run we kept a lot of customers.
|
|
Since then, my old bank (as well as my new one) have both basically
|
|
indicated they could care less if I bank with them. Since there aren't
|
|
many large banks in the area, and I don't want to gamble on a bank
|
|
that isn't part of a chain with good backing, I am stuck with the lesser
|
|
of two bastards. Why can they afford to do that?
|
|
|
|
They know that if business suffers too much, they can implement
|
|
one of many ploys to get more business. 'Under New Management' is a good
|
|
one that brings people back over and over. They play it off like their
|
|
problems were because of one manager that was messing things up, and
|
|
now that he is gone things will be much better. Like good little lemmings,
|
|
people flock back and continue to do business there.
|
|
Running special promotions like "buy 10 get the 11th free!" and
|
|
"no interest or payments for 13 days" can do the same thing. People
|
|
are willing to go back to a bad business to get the good deal. Instead
|
|
of standing by their belief that a company is severely messed up, they
|
|
suddenly change their mind and say "they aren't so bad".
|
|
|
|
Instead of going back to a business that has treated you poorly,
|
|
stay away from them forever. There is always competition right down the
|
|
road. I know you are probably saying "what about you and your bank"..
|
|
good point. Because of my schedule and need for certain banking functions
|
|
that come with the larger banks, I am forced to stick with them for
|
|
longer than I like.
|
|
On top of staying away, make sure you tell everyone about your
|
|
problems. Start with their management, corporate schmucks, employees,
|
|
your friends, the internet, etc. The more people that know, the more of
|
|
an effect you will have. Just telling them you will be posting it to the
|
|
net where some 50 million people could read it is oftentimes a good
|
|
enough threat, and you will find you getting your way. Threaten them..
|
|
they have done far worse to you.
|
|
|
|
Don't forget about your problems with a business. Even if it's
|
|
months down the road, they probably haven't changed that much. Tell
|
|
everyone that crosses your path about your experience and make sure
|
|
they know you don't want them dealing with that business. Be persistant!
