ELECRAFT DOES IT RIGHT

Brian McInerney
My experience with many, many other companies:

-The more they grow, the more problems the customers have.

-The more produces they have to sell the less attention is paid to the
ones they have had in the past. Until the decision is made to NO
LONGER SUPPORT.

-Up grades ALWAYS cost more than the original parts had they been put
in the original product.

-When you have a true simple question because of clarity. How do you
call, how long do you wait on the phone, and can you understand them
when they speak to you.

-In the last 3 weeks if have contacted a large computer company for
software problems and when it was over “3 hours later” I was worse off
and had to figure it out my self.  I have asked the tech at the
company to call me on the matter and never received a return call. At
least 4 times and 3 different tecks.

-The farther over seas the company is the more problems the customer has.

-Beta testing is done by the customer who buys the product not the a
selected group before it is made available to the public. When a
problem is found it is covered up and not solved--unless you send it
back to a factory and it may or may not get repaired.

-How many companies really read and respond to problems written in
their forms on their web sites. By respond I mean fix the problem or
offer a solution free of charge.



TO ALL WHO READ THIS POST:

ELECRAFT DOES NOT DO THE THINGS THAT OTHER COMPANIES DO. THEY ARE
TRYING VERY HARD TO MAKE IT A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE AND THE DO HAVE THE
CUSTOMER AND SERVICE OF THEIR PRODUCTS IN MIND. I HAVE BEEN WATCHING
THIS COMPANY FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS AND THEY DO CARE. I WAS NOT ASKED TO
WRITE THIS POST BUT FELT DUTY BOUND TO DO SO! SO I SAY, HANG IN THERE
WITH ELECRAFT AND YOU WILL BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE PRODUCTS AND THE
SERVICE.

Elecraft is overseas for me, 6000 some miles distant and their service is
superb!   Living in California, I sure would lust for a Porsche.

ELECRAFT DOES IT RIGHT

Interesting ON-TOPIC article from msn.com (what many of us have as
our browser home page):
Under "Jobs that deserve a second look" is a link to "4 jobs everyone
should work at some point". (
They are:
1.  Server (waiter/waitress)
2.  Retail Clerk
3.  Customer Service
3.  Manual Labor

e.g. walk a mile in their shoes!
