Rip-off Report Investigation
Two of Us joins Rip-off Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program. ..A long name for a program that does a lot for both consumers and business alike.
Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program
Rip-off Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program, ..A program that benefits the consumer, which assures their complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business.
As a matter of policy, when Rip-off Report is retained by a company to mount an independent investigation and to publish our findings, we examine the truthfulness of the consumer complaints using every bit of information at our disposal. Our process is systematic and highly effective because: 1) It takes place at the consumer level and 2) the company or individual in our Corporate Advocacy Program must commit to 'doing whatever it takes to make things right with their customers.' By working closely with the company or individual, Rip-off Report can track the footprints left behind when their promised level of customer service is actually followed by the solid ground of real behavior. Only then do we publish our findings
Rip-off Report cannot ever guarantee any product or service, but we can only report what we find, in order to help you get a better understanding of the company or individual we are investigating. That having been said, the conclusion Rip-off Report came to after our investigation, to the best of our knowledge, is that this company is a reputable firm, offering products and services of real value.
ALL COMPANIES GET COMPLAINTS, BUT HOW THE COMPANY HANDLES THOSE COMPLAINTS, SEPARATES GOOD BUSINESSES FROM BAD BUSINESSES.
By Ed Magedson - Founder, Rip-off Report
T wo of Us Dating approached Rip-Off Report last month with the express purpose of resolving consumer concerns posted on Rip-off Report. Two of Us noticed that some of the reports on the Rip Off Report website were from people who were unable to contact their matchmakers or failed to receive timely returned calls. In response, Two of Us has increased its matchmaking department in all locations and has created a system to provide improved quality and more responsive customer service. Additionally, Two of Us noticed that some of the reports seemed to be from members who did not feel that their membership counselor understood the type of introduction they were looking for and that they were not clear as to the service being provided. Therefore, in addition to the increased amount of matchmakers and better customer service, Two of Us has ensured that the Membership Agreements for new members are more clear and more easily understood. After a recent mailing to everyone who filed a Rip-off Report, it became apparent that Two of Us is sincere in their commitment to remedy any and all customer concerns and/or misconceptions. Company executives stated to Rip-off Report that Two of Us has now dedicated a portion of their customer service team to work exclusively on making improvements in the customer service arena. These changes were implemented as a direct result of feedback they received from Rip-off Report.
TWO OF US CONTINUES TO CLARIFY WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR CLIENTS
Two of Us is a brick and mortar personal introduction service that provides introduction services throughout the country. Although Two of Us cannot guarantee chemistry between two people, it has a proven system for introducing compatible members. One of the surprises that came from the Rip-off Report investigation was that many of the complaints had to do with misconceptions about Two of Us. Two of Us understands the saying, "you can be judged by the company that you keep" so Two of Us is working with their employees to make sure they are held to high standards and will end relationships or eliminate certain business practices as necessary. Two of Us has closely analyzed the services which caused negative feedback and has adjusted the processes which led to the reports. They assure us the changes they have made will prevent the recurrence of similar mistakes in the future. Such changes include bolstering the matchmaking and customer service departments and ensuring that the Membership Agreements are clear and easily understood by each new member.

STATED IMPROVEMENTS FROM TWO OF US
Two of Us has increased the size of its matchmaking department in all locations and has created a system to provide higher quality customer service. Two of Us noticed that some of the reports (((seemed to be))) were from members who did not feel that their membership counselor and matchmaker understood the type of introduction they were looking for and that the members were not clear as to the service being provided. In addition to the increased amount of matchmakers and better customer service, Two of Us has ensured that the Membership Agreements for new members are more clear and more easily understood. A company executive told Rip-off Report, “We changed the language of the agreements so they’re more specific, and we’ve trained our counselors to be more specific and gain sufficient feedback, so that such misunderstandings will no longer occur.” Again, if a member has any complaints, is unhappy for any reason, has a comment, or has any unresolved issues, please email our member services department at memberservices@twoofus.com or call (818) 545-9066, and we guarantee that we will do whatever it takes to make it right and make them happy.
ANY BUSINESS THAT CAN ADMIT THEY MADE MISTAKES AND CORRECTS THOSE MISTAKES IS A BUSINESS YOU CAN TRUST AND WORTH DOING BUSINESS WITH
As one company executive said, “Two of Us had some lapses in customer service, which left our members feeling less than secure with their membership and the services expected. However, these lapses and shortcomings have been addressed and remedied. That said, because Two of Us is brick and mortar personal introduction service that does not rely on computers, but on human beings, there is always the chance that a member may feel they are not getting the service they deserve. That is why we added more quality, well-trained personnel in our matchmaking and customer service departments to ensure that these members are getting their needs addressed.” Ultimately Two of Us strives to be proactive and avoid all potential issues, so they are doing everything in their power to manage any and all issues before they arise.
Company executives also stated that they have recently taken steps to ensure that each new member understands the service being provided and that the Membership Agreements are clear and easily understood. This will result in a better experience for a Two of Us member.
Because of our investigation and the sincere efforts put forth by Two of Us, Rip-off Report is is confident in giving Two of Us a positive rating. All in all, the company implemented strategic changes to its Matchmaking and Customer Service Departments and reached its goal of achieving total customer satisfaction through excellent service. This was made possible by looking carefully at their own processes, listening closely to feedback from the Rip-off Report, and taking positive steps in fixing any and all issues.
Two of Us executives understand that the only way to grow as a company is by first recognizing their weaknesses and then committing the resources necessary to fix the problems those weaknesses created. A Two of Us executive stated, "We listened to our customers and saw we had made mistakes, as all businesses do—particularly those driven by humans--but I can assure you that we are 100% committed to resolving any and all issues to create lasting value for our clients".
In spite of any mistakes, Rip-off Report is confident you have a company that is ready to serve those who need more assistance and is willing to make things right if they seem to have fallen apart.
Rip-off Report knows there is no company or individual that is perfect – Two of Us knows this also and demonstrates their need for continuing improvement - that is why Rip-off Report comfortably states that you can be completely confident, safe and secure when doing business with them as a member of Rip-off Reports’ Corporate Advocacy, Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.
RESULTS OF MAILING TO ALL THOSE WHO FILED A RIP-OFF REPORT
As a part of the Corporate Advocacy Program - Rip-off Report sent an email to every client who filed a Report on Two of Us and I would now like to share the results with you.
Some clients stated that they appreciated our efforts and related how they had already been taken care of in a satisfactory manner. As usual, customers asked if they could remove the Report they filed and we explained that unfortunately, it was not possible. It is Rip-off Report's philosophy that it is much more beneficial for the consumer to see how a company like Two of Us takes care of their mistakes. No company is with out its share of problems, however, there are many companies who continually sweep those problems under the rug and never achieve the growth that other companies such as Two of Us enjoys.
Rip-off Report feels Two of Us has learned from all those who have complained... and they even seemed to be thankful for those who have brought problems to their attention.
Two of Us shows leadership by joining the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program.
Keep in mind, Two of Us has worked with many, many clients in all the years they’ve been in business. It’s important to note that despite Rip-off Report appearing on most search engines right below Two of Us, their complaint ratio is a fraction of a percent of their overall clients. Rip-off Report knows that this is significantly below the industry standard for the clientele that they work with. From our perspective, it is quite unusual for a company who has had so few complaints request on their own to be a part of the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program. Two of Us provides a leadership model for other companies that care about their clients to follow.
