Bad service examples. I am looking for instances of poor service. The basic idea that I am getting at is that businesses spends millions on advertising but as soon as they have your money they drop you like a dead fish and they start all over spending millions to get you back. Instead of spending millions to keep you when they have you.
Like the magazine that give fancy binoculars to new subscribers but nothing to their loyal subscribers who have paid a sub for 12 years.

Or the service provider who ignores me, does not tell me how to fix my own problems. I then decide to move to another provider. But before I do I go to hellopter.com and make the story public. Now they get back to me and offer me solutions. Instead of spending money getting new customers why not spend time educating us.

Fwd: The nice thing about many advertising agencies is that they can spend because they are not measured at the till where the money is counted. And business people, for some or other reason has adopted to same idea. They don't measure their success. (If you are an advertising agency don't tell me that you measure how many people viewed the ad and...
......ad and for how long. That's a trick used because you have nothing to show for your irrelevant creative work that entertains but steal the money of advertisers).

webafrica tells me i am using all the bandwidth
 |
I have been using 200 mb per day. Webafrica's graphs prove that but on the 22 June it jumped to nearly one gig. I did all the changes you can think of. I even changed my account, I disabled the wireless. I stopped all fancy downloads but it stayed at 900 MB. I then changed the account name. Yesterday I used 30mb and thought I am now in control. Today we used skype for an hour and nothing more and we used 300 mb. I am moving away from webafrica. And even that may be useless as south Africa is waking from the dark ages----regarding bandwidth with the new cable coming in to operation in the next month or so.

@simonstown Business Report - Mboweni holds fire on rates - http://www.busrep.co.za/index...
"South African Reserve Bank on Thursday made a surprise announcement in which it said it would leave lending rates as they are. This comes despite the fact that inflation remains sticky above the bank's target and while business and consumers continue to feel the pain of a financial crunch."

@simonstown Who's Really to Blame for the Crooked Financial System - http://www.moneymorning.com/2009...
"In a truly free market, ex-Citibankers (NYSE: C) would be on every street corner of Manhattan - selling apples - and that would properly hold down the pay of those bankers still lucky enough to have a job."

@simonstown Personal Finance - Switching banks is one way of addressing high charges - http://www.persfin.co.za/index...
"If the economic downturn is forcing you to count your pennies, one way to save is to try to reduce the costs of banking. You may even find that you can save a considerable amount by switching banks. Some banks charge more for certain products and services than others. You should compare the fees the different banks charge for the services you tend to use the most."
