- Perhaps it might be an idea for PC Magazine to do a service/Customer
- satisfaction survey on Companies that provide communications
- products. PC Magazine, at one time, did product service surveys on
- computer manufacturers. It did produce some noticeable results. Some
- Companies sure "picked up their socks" and made noticeable
- improvements once they were identified as being very poor to respond
- to Customer complaints - concerns - problem solving - etc.. In defece
- of USR, they might not be aware of this failing.
-
- I for one have been contemplating the purchase of another USR product
- - Courier V.34. From what I have read on the BBS's, it would appear
- that USR is quite successful in product design, marekting, media
- information, standards, etc., but have a noticeable failure in their
- ability to communicate with Customer product inquiries. I will remain
- in the "contemplative" stage for now, being quite satisfied with my
- 14.4 modem.
-
- I am not a "techie". Consequently, I believe myself and others would
- like to be able to speak to someone with some degree of comfortability
- and satisfaction,who is knowledgeable in product problem solving.
- Acknowledging and responding to Customers seeking solutions would be a
- good point to start from. Knowlegable repsonders should ffollow.
-
- I trust that USR will take these comments in the spirit that they are
- intended, and not as harsh criticism. Sometims a little introspection
- and correction goes a long way in providing Customer satisfaction.
