Three Cheers For HP

2008-05-11T23:23:30-04:00

The harddrive on Susan's Hewlett Packard failed. Being Sunday afternoon, she was expecting the worst in customer service. Instead, she got the best.

"Imagine my surprise and delight when I was not only connected instantly, but to a rep that spoke perfect english! It being a Sunday afternoon I was expecting the worst. My issue was handled quickly and a new hard drive shipped out to me. The entire phone call took less than 20 minutes! Three cheers for HP, who hasn't forgotten what good customer service is all about!"

Congrats Susan!

New PlanetFeedback Focus Group Program Puts Consumers in the Company Seat

2006-12-11T19:30:48-05:00

PlanetFeedback, one of the web's oldest and most active consumer feedback portals, today announced the creation of a new initiative entitled "I'm The Head of Customer Service - Here's What I Would Do".

It's clear from letters posted on the site that consumers have a lot of problems with how brands manage relations with consumers; ranging from customer service to product quality.

The program dips into PlanetFeedback's vast reservoir of outspoken and often critical consumer opinion. It will help companies and consumer affairs professionals better tap into the expertise and suggestions of engaged consumers.

Each week, three focus group questions will be posted on the site and users will volunteer solutions and feedback as if they were the head of customer service, in charge of the situation.

"When it comes to problem-solving, our active user base has no shortage of suggestions and recommendations; most of which are absolutely spot-on," said Greg Brummer, PlanetFeedback's general manager. "We also want to send loud and clear message to the top customer care folks out there: your most vocal consumers are your very best friend when it comes to helping your brand. Even the complainers have a world of input to offer companies."

The first focus group,held last week, dealt with a very demanding Best Buy customer. Users were asked if they were Best Buy's customer service head, how would they respond to this customer's demands?

Last week's topic concerns the fast moving Taco Bell e coli crisis. Users offered suggestions on how best to manage the public relations aspect of the matter as well as actually dealing with the outbreak itself.

Next week's topic will cover Best Buy's new "flextime" program for workers.

"We see this as great opportunity for companies to stay on top of emerging consumer opinion," Brummer said. "Who knows? Maybe they'll even get an actionable idea or two."

Enterprise Picks Up The Service

2006-12-05T23:54:25-05:00

PlanetFeedback letter writer Guillermo was absolutely impressed with the service he received at his local Enterprise Car Rental.

Josie was particularly impressive, by going above and beyond what I could have expected of someone performing as a rental associate with the objective to rent cars that generate the largest possible margin, while servicing me, someone who only needed the smallest and cheapest available car for just one day. Josie even called me on the telephone later in the day to ensure everything was Ok with the service I received and the car I rented.

Toshiba Fixes The HDD

2006-12-05T23:49:56-05:00

PlanetFeedback letter writer Lawrence has praise for Toshiba. It's short and sweet but that doesn't make it any less powerful.

Had a minor problem with my HDD in my laptop and even through the laptop was out of warranty by a couple of days, Toshiba said they would replace it. I have always enjoyed their Notebook products.

2006-12-03T15:48:26-05:00

PlanetFeedback letter writer Crissy decided to make most of her Black Friday purchases at Target. She was not disappointed!

Your store was extremely manageable, friendly employees, and plenty of stock on hand. Not many places can say any of those things on Black Friday!

Big 5 Gets A High 5

2006-11-30T20:36:45-05:00

PlanetFeedback letter writer W.H. has nothing but praise for manager David on her recent visit to Big 5 Sporting Goods.

Since he was the senior associate on site, I felt that I should write in this manner to tell you what a gem you have working at that store.

I'm sure that this time of year you hear more negative than positive, so I just wanted you to know that David is well worthy of praise.

Thanks for the great service and I'm sure we'll be seeing you in the future!

Hasbro Rocks With Bo Bice

2006-11-30T20:26:09-05:00

PlanetFeedback letter writer Venice is gaga over Hasbro's decision to use Bo Bice as a spokesman for their Monopoly game.

The ingenuity shown by Hasbro in choosing Bo Bice to enhance it's commercial with his incredible musical talent is refreshingly clever, and I hope the new Monopoly Here and Now is a tremendous success for the company.

Apple Makes Purchasing Online Easy

2006-11-29T16:39:37-05:00

PlanetFeedback letter writer Angelo has bought from Apple for fifteen years but this is the first time he bought from their online store. Boy, is he one happy camper!

So to summarized, it was easy to set up, the computer comes exactly as you order, you receive a discount and they identify what you really need instead of selling you the most expensive item they carry. The principles of Customer Service are all met! Give the customer what he wants, show the customer what he needs, and give him extreme value! I was loyal before, but now I will never enter a Windows World. By the way, the stock has been great in my portfolio!

Bob Evans Has A Fabulous Waitress

2006-11-29T16:36:37-05:00

PlanetFeedback letter writer Candace has nothing but praise for Bob Evans waitress Marge and the level of service she provided.

She didn't once give us a feeling that she was in a hurry to get off her shift or that she was needing to 'turn the table' to service other customers. She was also helpful with some info on shopping..I just wanted to take a moment and compliment her and thank her!!

PlanetFeedback letter writer Ameriah wasnt happy with the nail health kit she bought through QVC. Because it was past the return period, she wrote to them only to let them know how disappointed she was. Much to her surprise, QVC insisted she return the kit for a refund. In the process, they've made a customer for life.

Now that is Customer Service! Pleasant! Efficient! and they stand 100% behind their products!!!! Bravo QVC! and thank you!
