Rip-off Report REVIEW:

RJR / SHC ~ Senior Health Care Consultants 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.

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

S enior Health Care Consultants ~ RJR / SHC approached Rip-Off Report last month with the express purpose of resolving consumer concerns posted on Rip-off Report. After a recent mailing to everyone who filed a Rip-off Report, it became apparent that Senior Health Care Consultants is sincere in their commitment to remedy any and all concerns. Company executives stated to Rip-off Report that Senior Health Care Consultants has now dedicated a portion of their customer service team to work exclusively on making improvements in the customer service arena. Many of these changes were implemented as a direct result of feedback they received from Rip-off Report.

RJR / SHC ~ SENIOR HEALTH CARE CONSULTANTS CONTINUES TO CLARIFY WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR CLIENTS

One of the surprises that came from the Rip-off Report investigation was the complaints had little to do with Senior Health Care Consultants products or services. During our investigation it was also most interesting to note and report that there were virtually no consumer complaints found, this in itself speaks volumes of the level of customer service SHC offers. For their clients ~ Senior Healthcare Consultants offers a robust portfolio of products and services allowing them to specifically tailor and match the needs of each client to the best solutions. The strength of SHC is the knowledge their consultants have to assist seniors in the complex Medicare arena, when appropriate they have a multitude of products to protect seniors including: Medicare Supplement Insurance, Medicare Advantage (HMO's, PPO's, PFFS) programs, Life, Dental , Prescription Drug Plans and Prescription saving plans to fill in the donut hole gaps, Vision plans, Annuities, etc., SHC consultants are well versed in Medicare, but don't stop there, they are then linked to the information gathering and distribution power of the corporate office, to in effect keep up with the constant changes to Medicare in real-time, so they can then best advise their clients in this ever changing field.

RJR / SHC ~ Senior Health Care Consultants GIVING TO THEIR CUSTOMERS...

Keep in mind, RJR / SHC ~ Senior Health Care Consultants has worked with over a quarter of a million clients and has only 12 Rip-off Reports to show for it. What is really amazing about that is despite Rip-off report appearing on most search engines right below RJR / SHC ~ Senior Health Care Consultants, their complaint ratio is less than one half of one thousandth of a percent. Rip-off report feels that this is significantly below the industry standard for the clientele that they work with. Also to note: Rip-off report found that all of the 12 complaints came from previous consultants and that not one complaint was posted from a consumer, the only consumer posting we found were positive. 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. RJR / SHC ~ Senior Health Care Consultants is showing leadership for other companies to follow that care about their clients.

RJR / SHC ~ Senior Health Care Consultants understands the saying, "you can be judged by the company that you keep" so Senior Health Care Consultants is working to significantly improve the screening and training of their consultants, to make sure they are held to the same high company standards. In fact, Rip-off Report learned from a company executive that they have ended relationships with consultants that were unwilling to maintain the high standards RJR / SHC ~ Senior Health Care Consultants has set, regardless of the business generated. In today's business world how often do you find a company willing to walk away from profits in the name of ethics? RJR / SHC ~ Senior Health Care Consultants has, and says they will again if necessary. Senior Health Care Consultants carefully screens the consultants that deliver their products to consumers in an effort to help their clients that are working towards securing the best Medicare supplement insurance. RJR / SHC ~ Senior Health Care Consultants also endorses the products that they refer clients to, but maintains that those services are 100% optional and will welcome feedback on these products and services for further evaluation at SpecialAttentionCS@shcmarketing.com

ANY BUSINESS THAT CAN ADMIT THEY MADE MISTAKES AND CORRECTS THOSE MISTAKES IS A BUSINESS YOU CAN TRUST AND WORTH DOING BUSINESS WITH

Company executives also stated that over that last few months they have bolstered their consultant training programs in an effort to increase consultant competence in the complex senior market. In addition, RJR / SHC ~ Senior Health Care Consultants has added new processes that allow them to better serve clients from all across the country. Because of our investigation and the sincere efforts put forth by RJR / SHC ~ Senior Health Care Consultants, Rip-off Report is proud to give RJR / SHC ~ Senior Health Care Consultants a positive rating.

All in all, the company implemented strategic changes to its Training and Customer Service Department and reached its goal of achieving total customer satisfaction through excellent service. This was made possible by a totally honest approach to corporate introspection. RJR / SHC ~ Senior Health Care Consultants CEO stated "We understand that the only way to grow as a company is by first recognizing our weaknesses and then committing the resources necessary to fix the problems those weaknesses have allowed". He then added, "We know that we have made mistakes, all businesses do, but I can assure you that we are 100% committed to resolving those issues and creating an excellent experience for those we serve".

RJR / SHC ~ Senior Health Care Consultants ALWAYS IMPROVING THE CONSULTANT SIDE OF THEIR BUSINESS ...

RJR / SHC ~ Senior Health Care Consultants prides themselves on passionately serving their current and former consultants who are on the front lines with clients. Senior management however took note of the complaints from former consultants who felt they were wronged or misled, regardless of contractual agreements. They have taken corrective action to ensure that all new consultants understand the opportunity they have as well as the demands that will be required to be successful. The appeal to this industry is the opportunity to earn a "professionals" income up there in the same league of doctors, lawyers, accountants, and other professionals, without requiring the many years of formal education. However this doesn't mean that one can earn the top income bracket without putting in the time to master the knowledge and skills. A similar amount of education is required in this profession as in other professions, but in this field you can earn at the same time you are learning. The advantage to a position in the insurance market is that the systems have been refined for many years so those who follow proven systems have a tried and proven track for success. At RJR / SHC ~ Senior Health Care Consultants this is even more evident as they have one of the top track records for success, both for the company as a whole, and for their consultants as individuals.

When asked, senior management cited the a few key reasons for consultant failures: not sticking to the proven systems (in other words trying to reinvent the wheel), quitting before one is even moderately proficient (you can compare it to the Medical student who quits after just one semester of medical school, saying he didn't help anyone or make any money). Starting a career without adequate financial backing to launch (as a profession people will need to view this career as a business owner, they will start out working a lot and earning a little, as time and skills progress this changes to where one works less and earns significantly more). A career as a consultant in sales is obviously not for everyone and the lure of seemingly easy money, draws in many who are not a good fit for the industry.

RJR / SHC ~ Senior Health Care Consultants has adopted a policy to ensure every new prospective consultant is well informed of the good the bad and the ugly before being allowed to partner with the company. As a senior manager put it, "it not only cost us as a company when a new consultant fails, we understand that there are people and families behind the numbers. We understand there is no way for everyone who applies to succeed, however, we will continue to make changes for the better with consultant feedback."

If anyone thought RJR/SHC had deaf ears to your concerns in the past--Rip-off Report can assure you, there are no deaf ears at RJR/SHC. Rip-off Report feels this is so commendable that such a large company like RJR/SHC are wanting to make all their consultants from the past completely satisfied.. Why can't there be more businesses out there like them?! RJR/SHC policies and procedures are constantly improved when consultants identify specific problems in their typically excellent service.

In spite of all these situations, which show that bad service is not always a fault of RJR / SHC ~ Senior Health Care Consultants, I believe you have a company that is ready to serve those who need more assistance and a company that is willing to make things right regardless of the investment.

Rip-off Report knows, there is no company or individual that is perfect RJR / SHC ~ Senior Health Care Consultants knows this also and demonstrates their need for continuing improvement - that is why Rip-off Report feels 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.
