Pressure selling

[fathers16]

I'm a little disgruntled about an experience I had with DirecTV's customer service reps. Not sure if this is the place for it but I figured yall might be interested.

It's not that I mind the business model, I was just a little surprised to see such a crass approach.

Welcome to the forum. This would in fact be the incorrect place. This particular part of the forum is dedicated to technical discussions in the CE program. If anywhere, it should be in the general forum.

Did you write the article you linked to?

It's a load of dribble. I just switched and was never "pressured", never saw a little red box saying "call now", had a problem figuring out my package price or 24 month billing on the website, nor did the person on the phone try to pressure me into anything. I knew what I wanted when I called in , and had no problems. The rep was very friendly and informed me about everything in advance. No surprises.
