Directly Calling or "walk-in service" at a Call Center

The other day I was frustrated over a particular service issue --CORRECTION-- I was more frustrated over difficult-to-understand CSRs than the issue for which I was calling (and I hung up and called back about 3 times playing "find English CSR roulette). I often visit Bluefield, WV, and knew of their call center there. So, I looked up the local number in hopes of getting intelligible help. The answering receptionist was very nice--and understandable. But she could not help me, and I told her exactly why I was calling them and not the customer service number. She said that she had no technical means of paging or transferring a call to a CSR (from the local number I had called).

So I guess "walk up" customers at a call center are probably out of the question, too, right? And I also got to thinking--I'm sure there are DISH customers within walking or sight distance of the Bluefield Call Center. I wonder how few of their calls get answered next door?

do you even know if that call center does tech support? perhaps it might be an outbound sales call center. i agree, would be nice if there was a walk up service counter, where you could bring your reciever, they could quickly hook up, determine if rec is bad and immeidietly replace for you onsite with no shipping cost or waiting period. even for sales and upgrades. the telecommunications companies have been doing it for years. att, verizon, windstream, all of them has stores in malls. the windstream stores however are franchised outlets privately ran, but they make a profit, perhaps this idea might work with dish.

there is... its called a Retailer. If you bring a receiver in to our store, we will more than happily hook it up in the showroom and see if it works... hell, bring an lnb or switch and we'll hook that up to.

That's not the case with all retailers. The retailers I work for will do this for their own customers, but if any Joe Blow off the street wants them to check a receiver, there's gonna be a charge for that.

as long as its nothing that is going to take forever... it shouldn't be a big deal for any retailer to just test a receiver. hell, the retailer should see it as an opportunity to have a captive audience for a few minutes. :) try to sell an upgrade, new receiver, additional accessories, ect.

As well they should be. Satellite customers don't want anybody to make any money these days, though. Really, what is wrong with paying for a service that you recieve?

That's easy to answer. Consumers are getting to be about as greedy as the businesses who sell to them. Consumers wants free upgrades and product regardless of the background or expenses. If they MUST pay for something, they want it at cost, leaving no room for profit. If you're making a profit, you're doing so at the expense of the customer or so is the current belief.

That's why I have absolutely NO problem with turning off a whining customer who's milking the cow. If you buy a service and get what you pay for, we're good. If you buy a service, and use every dirty trick in the book trying to get more than you pay for, that money comes from somewhere, and it's probably my pocket.

Why should anyone work for free? Do you stay after work off the clock for your boss?

I work for some pretty good salesmen, they know who is a buyer and who isn't. They don't do upgrades for existing subs unless they go cash and carry or its for custom work. In that case, what they typically do is charge the customer a bench-testing fee and they'll often credit that against future work if the customer schedules something right then.

I've learned that those customers which don't value your time, won't ever value your time.

i would argue that it depends on where you sell, how much competition you have, ect.
I should say too, I am hardly at the store anymore anyway. In fact, I haven't worked in the store in at least a few months, but anyway.
Lets say the retailer is paying someone to work at the store. How would you figure the employee testing a receiver is doing the work for free. The employee is getting the same pay whether they are sitting on their ass waiting for the phone to ring, or testing a customer's receiver.
As far as the retailer doing the work for free... he is paying someone to man the store whether they are testing recievers, or sitting on their ass. May as well be testing recievers and keeping up the good reputation that the retailer has.

That particular retailer has VERY little, to no advertising costs. Why? Cause most of his work is because of his good reputation for being helpful and nice to his customer's. Most of the work that he does is because of word of mouth. He is nice to the people that come in his store, and they remember that when either they need work done, or they have a friend/relative that needs work done.

He has been in business since the c-band days, and does pretty well.

Just my opinion, but i personally feel it depends on your market. I don't think anyone should do any work for free... but if you are sitting in your store anyway, waiting for the phone to ring, customers to walk in, ect... why not take a few minutes, and hopefully get a future customer.

For example: When I was 16, I got a cell phone through a local cingular retailer. It wasn't my first phone, my first was when I was 14 through US Cellular. Anytime I had a problem, the employees at the US Cellular store were horrible at getting things worked out. Eventually I got tired of it and switched to Cingular.
I went to one of the local retailers... and he was really personable, and helpful. About 6 months after I got the phone, I dropped it and snapped the antenna off. I went back to the retailer to see how much a new antenna was. That little piece of plastic and metal was $45 new. I was 16 and didn't have enough cash on me to buy that.
The retailer helped me out, found a used antenna he had and installed it for me, for free. I offered to come back later and pay him for it, but he refused. I have never forgotten that.
Since then I have upgraded more times than I can remember, and added 4 more lines to my account. I also buy a ton of accessories (face plates, antennas, cases, ect). I have strayed a couple times and went to other stores to look at accessories, but have never found a retailer as friendly and helpful at this guy was. Because of that, I have always went back to him for everything I have ever bought/upgraded on my phones. I have also recommended and sent a ton of people to his business.
Because of one act of kindness, that really didn't cost him anything, but a few minutes of his time, he has gotten my business for years now.

That's all fine when the person walking in has the potential to be a customer. If they are bringing in a receiver, they are already someone else's customer. That Cingular story you relate doesn't really apply here as you were his customer and had been profitable in the past to him so he has a reasonable expectation that further investment in you might yield more income for him. We operate the same way and do gratis bench tests for our subs. I've gone out and programmed people's remotes when they buy new TVs on account of the past business they have given me and their potential for more business. Now, how might that Cingular guy have been if you brought him some other retailer's phone and expected him to replace that antenna for free. He would have been out $45 in unrealized income. There's that word, unrealized. That principle is the exact reason satellite and cable companies chase down pirate viewers. It doesn't reduce the available signal when a pirate accesses DISH's signal, so why pursue it? The answer is that DISH is losing money because it isn't realizing income from these people. Our shops run the same way. If there is a value in the service we provide, we charge for it. If we realize there is money to be made by giving away some token service, we do consider it. However, it can be said generally that the whole "free" model has not been good to most retailers. The whole free model killed the $199 basic install.

If you ponied up for an iPhone Duo, keep it away from anything other than your soft, fleshy fingertips. No fingernails, no dust, sand, dirt, or other particulate matter. And don't bend it more than it needs to. Zack has destroyed $2,000 of Apple hardware to get those views, which should cover his expenses.

Comcast called fiber pricing "irrational" because the ROI is over three years. What is irrational to me is Comcast internet is based on lines they put in the ground decades ago at this point, for the most part. Is copper that much more expensive to maintain?

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Well, the bag can't weigh that much, right? But by law food product packaging must display the actual net weight of the product, i.e., the contents of the container, so by any logic, if not law, a store's stated per-ounce cost should reflect that figure. But since there's not any law regulating shelf statements, a store can say whatever it wants without violating any rules. So I guess the answer is more consumer legislation. Or simply caveat emptor.

I would think that the Vendor/Maker of the product would have a say in it, showing the Correct weight ...
You would think it would be in the contract.

I do look at the ounces of items, but unless its way off, I don't check the math, may have to start now.

Unless the specific product or its packaging is known at the time of weighing, estimating the tare weight for a PoS system is a tall order.

I'm pretty sure that produce bags can't get any thinner. ;)

You certainly don't want to put unbagged produce on a belt, scale, or in a clerk's hands (gloved or not).

I would think that all the packaging would already be accounted for ... they weigh the container, subtract that from the scale, then add the product , so its weighing the Product only

You would be thinking wrong when it comes to goods that are sold by weight (meat, produce, nails). Those items typically go on the scale wrapped without an associated tare. The weight only excludes the sticker because it hasn't been printed yet.

Perhaps only for sliced meat and cheese. Salads and similarly "shifty" or "drippy" items are typically weighed in deli cartons of some sort.

My monster burritos (up to two lbs.) are weighed in their foil jackets or paper mache take-out trays, and the jacket/tray is then "sealed" with the printed label as it comes off the printer.

Precision has to give way to practicality in situations like that.

I did look into that ... the ones I get have about 65mg, which is very little ... but then I wouldn't expect much to be in Ice Cream.
Carbs are more than I would have liked ...

We're less than 4 weeks away from Voyager 1 reaching a distance of one light day from Earth

I've always been super interested in things space related so this is a pretty cool event coming up. Nov 18, 2026 early in the morning, Voyager 1 will reach the distance of one full light day from Earth. Took almost 50 yrs. I was 13 when it launched.

All DMA's now Western Arc

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

Looks like Charlie Ergen will never give up satellite TV. The reason Echostar 25 the most poweful DBS satellite ever built at 110 location already. Also Echostar 26 another super satellite on order for 119 orbital location will be ready in 15 months. he will have 110/119 for another 20 years. Dish will be the only satellte company left. The reason for rural areas and some people like satellite easy to operate and change channels in seconds.

I hope these new "most powerful" satellites will mean that DISH can provide every channel that can be sourced in HD in HD. I do not like the fact that two of my favorite channels (Start and H&I) are SD. I was also very disappointed after installation that METV has to be streamed from my internet connection. Finally, I dropped the locals upon seeing that my local CW channel is in blurry letterboxed SD when it has been HD OTA for years.

This piece gets me - the fact that Dish has removed SD channels from satellite completely in the name of "HD upgrades". I pay for satellite TV, not streaming...I don't see why they couldn't leave the SD version of the channels on Satellite then put the HD streaming version like they have for other channels.

Even if you are broadcasting old SD-only shows, I would think advertisers would still want their commercials to look good.

Advertisers on SD channels are probably Far and Few, very hard to find, they have very few viewers to watch them.

I watch mostly SD channels (H&I, Start and ION, etc.). There are plenty of advertisers, this time of the year it is mostly Medicare Advantage plans, auto extended warranties and the occasional walk-in-tub. They know who is watching.

Not many are watching.
Majority are watching the same shows in HD or 4K
