Sierra Solutions Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Internet, Internet

Impressive. It only took two years for the "owner" to respond to my "claims" about his company. I really don't think at this opoint a rebutal from me is necessary. Too bad you don't put as much effort into providing superior service to your clients as you did in attempting to respond to a two year old complaint. I will leave you w/ what the BBB has filed for "your" company; speaks for itself.

11 complaints closed with BBB in last 3 years | 5 closed in last 12 months -

After talking with this customer, our customer service office in S. Lake Tahoe contacted our representative Michael and asked for his side of the story. First and foremost we would like to say that Michael has represented our company as a Sales Agent and a Field Manager since 2004, and we have never received any complaints on him to date. Not bad considering that he has dealt with literally thousands of potential and actual customers!

That being said, Michael did indeed remember this potential customer. His side of the story was that he was invited back to this customers home to demonstrate our product for her husband. He did not return to the customers home on Sunday because that is his only day off. Our representatives typically work 6 days a week and more often than not up to 12 hours a day. The fact of the matter is that we insist that our salespeople and managers rest on Sundays! He said that when he did return to this potential customers home (at her request) that the potential customer did express that they were no longer interested in his/our product at that time. He advised us that his response to the customer was typical of any salesperson attempting to overcome common contentions and objections. We do train our sales people to have and use tenacity, which we define as being determined and persistent without being antagonistic. Apparently according to this individual that failed, and Michael has assured us in no way was he interested in offending or intimidating this potential customer. Again we were not on the scene to hear the entire exchange, but we do have his sales history (which is extensive) to go by. Again... we have never received any complaints against Michael until this one. 

On another subject, considering that the name of this particular web site, which is designed to supposedly protect consumers from being Ripped Off... how exactly was this non-customer ripped off? All we have been able to determine is that this non-customer was somehow offended by a sales reps determination and persistence (and apparently the fact that he was genetically predisposed to being a large African American gentleman that has as much a right to pursue gainful employment as the next person... even if it is dealing with the public). I mean really? Attempting to disparage Michael by comparing him to the character portrayed my Michael Clark Duncan in the movie The Green Mile! I guess if you are a large black man there are worse people to be compared to! Great movie by the way and excellent acting by Mr. Duncan, but exactly what kind of a picture are you attempting to paint here? Michael Clark Duncans character in the movie, an innocent man, John Coffee, was vilified, wrongfully convicted and eventually executed in that movie because of his size and being at the wrong place at the wrong time (ok, maybe there are some similarities here)!

On another subject, this non-customer also managed to insult our Customer Service Manager Heather (who was legitimately attempting to help her), going so far as to suggest that her highest level of education completed was the 6th grade. Heather has worked with Sierra Solutions since 1998. She has in fact successfully worked in multiple capacities with us and has been promoted several times. Her job descriptions have included: Sales Agent, Sales Trainer, Junior Field Manager, Senior Field Manager, Crew Supervisor, Customer Service Assistant and most recently Customer Service Manager (for the last 6 years), and in this capacity is authorized to act with the highest authority and make any and all final decisions. I can assure you that Heathers education is extensive. I might also add that I have met and raised actual 6th graders with better manners and ability to communicate then this non-customer (who for some reason found it necessary to use vulgar language including the F word when Heather advised her that she was at the highest capacity to help her with her problem).
 
In closing, maybe Michael was a little short with this potential customer that day, and if indeed that was the case... we, along with Michael apologize. Other than that we will let our track record speak for itself. We have been in business since 1994 and currently enjoy a 99% plus customer satisfaction rating. Not bad considering we have close to one million satisfied customers.

We also realize that any company that does the volume of business that we do, and especially considering that we come into contact every day with literally hundreds of potential and actual customers, we have accepted that fact that we will occasionally get a complaint here or there. With that being said, we will always be willing to respond and hopefully rectify any legitimate complaint or concern. Thank you.
