Ngwanhoe, I am assuming this is an experience you have had with RS components? It seems that it much be an isolated incident if they are receiving awards.
Clairvoyant,
Yes this may be an isolated case or may be not because most people choose to not have the trouble of informing others or they just gave up.
Anyway isolated or not is not the case as this incident demonstrated that ignorant of the people working there.
The company systems is well and intact but the ownership feeling of the people working there are not.
1st mistake was not checking and updating obsolete informations. 2nd mistakes is not putting themself in the customer's shoes. 3rd mistakes is atitute of not taking things seriously as in the span of 3 months (still counting) not refunding and make serious effort (compansate) to recover this customer.
Let me ask you sir, looking at my case don't you thing it is out of the line?
I been in customers service line for 10yrs, never did I do such a thing before. Now I am managing 50 employees. I have a case of late delivery, I instructed my sales personel to drive 8hrs directly to the customer to deliver the goods herself F.O.C and recover the customers. Now the customer has been with us for more than 5 years.
IT IS THE PURE / SINCERE EFFORT / OWNERSHIP THAT COUNTS. THAT IS WHY THE HONOR SHOULD BE REVIEW UNTILL ALL ANGLE IS RECTIFIED.
Thanks Clairvoyant.
