    Frame Company Experience

    I had great experience with a large, well known frame company on Friday.
    As many on here know, I'm not fond of sales reps and less fond of some of the Big companies. The regional sales manager from company pops in unannounced Fri. I make him wait until I am good and ready and tell him to make it quick. He wants to talk to me about why I told one of his reps that I won't be needing her service or that of her companies anymore. I said because I am a straight shooter and I am sick of your company and all the reps. Our conversation went something like this:
    him: well whats the problem
    me: your frames cost too much, have the highest breakage of any other line I carry, combined, and I am sick of the backorders.
    him: all that is resolved now.
    me: sure
    him: we have no more breakage issues, we discontinued that line.
    me: well, thats great, what about all of them that I sold and still have to repair.
    him: well, its taken care of.
    me: how
    him: ah..ah..ah..we are reducing backorders too.
    me: great
    him: we want you back, what can we do to get back in here?
    me: nothing
    him: we really value your business, what can we do
    me: what incentives, discounts, or special buys can you give me.
    him: well, nothing...you are at max discount, we aren't doing dated billing right now, and there are no specials running.
    me: I'll leave out my comments, use your imaginations!!!!


    What a bunch of flipping jokers. I am SO glad that I finally have seen the light and came to my senses to not believe the HYPE and MARKETING garbage these jokers spill forth.

    And I bet I know which company it was!
    Since you had mentioned continuing problems with one line.

    Weird...

    OK so you've now made it obvious who you got rid of! (Harry)

    Besides the point you're now directly bashing a company and perhaps this post should be removed, (like mine was -i'm not bitter LOL) I havent had those horrid problems you speak of with the very same company... We fine the prices are fine, breakage never a big problem, reps are mostly nice, patients love the brand names.

    I wonder why people have such vastly differentiating (sp?) experiences with certain companies??

    No bashing here. Harry is close, but no cigar. I know better than to bash.;)

    And I certainly would not want to be slanderous or liable for anything.
