said by Manesh :This guy obviously isn't a very good IT person if he makes decisions based on what happened with his home connection... Well, he could have written it differently and said that because of his experiences with Rogers (and not say what they were), he went to look at Bell and got a better deal.
Then you wouldn't have been given the opportunity to make a statement like that. I think we have to draw on our experiences, wherever they came from. We learn all kinds of things in our day to day lives to help us make decisions in our work lives. Why should this be any different? After all, if Bell hadn't offered a better deal, then he wouldn't have moved that business ... which proves that the deal hinges predominantly on the price factor.
Winbacks generally aren't very effective anyway. Like the guy who is disgruntled with his job ... he'll still be disgruntled with if he's won back with a pay raise. |

| sbrook,
You are right.
The president is also pretty happy he gets a new Blackberry.
It might have been different had Rogers come in and said, "look, we've been reviewing your contracts and we'd like to offer to replace half your equipment and save you $12k". I'd probably have have been pretty impressed and might have given them a chance or may even have given them an advantage in a rebid. As it was I felt they were acting "true to form" and was happy to see them scooped. |

| reply to travisc travisc,
I doubt it, but you may be right. However when they do their quarterly review of accounts lost, someone will have to have an explanation and they may even have to reference the letter I am now inspired to send.
Maybe there is no rationale but whether it's throttling, or telling me I have to buy my own amplifier for three cable outlets, or billing me for not returning a converter I did return - for some reason I just want Rogers to suffer. |
