Response from Paneless Window and Gutter Cleaning LLC
DEAR MEMBER, FIRST OF ALL, PANELESS WINDOW CLEANING WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PAST BUSINESS. FOR ALL ESTABLISHED AND NEW CUSTOMERS, PANELESS WINDOW CLEANING TRUSTS THAT SINCERE ANGIE’S LIST CUSTOMERS WILL RECOGNIZE THAT THIS CLIENT’S CLAIMS ARE NOT JUSTIFIABLE AND BORDER ON SLANDER. AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE OVER 60 EXCELLENT OVERALL RATINGS ON ANGIE’S LIST. PLEASE GLANCE THROUGH THIS MEMBER'S PREVIOUS REPORTS. YOU'LL SEE THAT ON OCTOBER 12, 2007 SHE SAID THE FOLLOWING REGARDING OUR COMPANY, “THE GUY THEY SENT IS VERY PROFESSIONAL. I HAVE THEM SCHEDULED FOR EVERY OTHER MONTH GOING FORWARD.” WE ARE OFTEN COMPLIMENTED ON OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE BECAUSE WHEN CUSTOMERS REQUEST TO BE PLACED ON A RECURRING SCHEDULE, SUCH AS THIS CUSTOMER, WE CALL IN A TIMELY FASHION TO GET THEM ON THE BOOKS PER THEIR REQUEST. WE CALLED THIS AL MEMBER EVERY OTHER MONTH AS A COURTESY BECAUSE ON OCTOBER 12TH SHE REQUESTED IT (IN WRITING ON ANGIE'S LIST). IF WE CAN NOT REACH A CUSTOMER WE WILL LEAVE A VOICEMAIL AND DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES WE MAY TRY ONE MORE TIME TO REACH THE CUSTOMER. WE CONSIDER THIS GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE BECAUSE WE VALUE OUR CUSTOMERS AND UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE’S LIVES ARE BUSY. WE HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 16 YEARS AND HAVE BUILT A WONDERFUL CLIENTELE. WE OFTEN BOOK UP QUICKLY AND THEREFORE WILL DO EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO GET A HOLD OF AN ESTABLISHED CUSTOMER, AND GET THEM ON THE SCHEDULE THE MONTHS THAT THEY REQUEST. SOMETIMES THIS REQUIRES A TRY OR 2 AND CUSTOMERS ARE GENERALLY VERY HAPPY THAT WE VALUED THEM ENOUGH TO CALL THEM A SECOND TIME. THE MOMENT A CUSTOMER ASKS TO BE REMOVED FROM OUR CALL LIST, WE REMOVE THEM PROMPTLY AND MAKE RECORD OF THE CUSTOMER’S COMMENTS. WE UNDERSTAND THAT NOT EVERYONE WANTS THESE TYPES OF REMINDER/COURTESY CALLS. THE LAST TIME WE SPOKE TO THIS CUSTOMER WAS ON APRIL 26, 2008. AT THIS TIME, SHE REQUESTED WE REMOVE HER FROM OUR CALL LIST AND SHE WOULD CALL US IF INTERESTED IN FUTURE WORK. WE IMMEDIATELY AND POLITELY REMOVED HER FROM THE CALL LIST. WE DO NOT “STALK” CUSTOMERS AS THIS MEMBER IS SAYING. WE SIMPLY CARE ABOUT OUR CLIENTELE AND WANT OUR CUSTOMERS TO KNOW WE VALUE DOING BUSINESS WITH THEM. PLEASE NOTE THAT HER NEGATIVE REVIEW WAS WRITTEN 3 ENTIRE MONTHS AFTER THE LAST TIME WE SPOKE TO HER. WE HAVE NOT CONTACTED THIS CUSTOMER SINCE APRIL. HER CLAIM THAT SHE THREATENED TO REPORT US TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU IS A LIE. IF SHE WOULD HAVE THREATENED THIS, WE WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT VERY SERIOUSLY AND NOTED IT IN HER ACCOUNT. ON THE RARE OCCASION THAT WE HAVE AN UNHAPPY CUSTOMER WE ARE DELIGHTED TO WORK SOMETHING OUT SO THAT ALL PARTIES INVOLVED ARE HAPPY. IN FACT, WE REFUNDED THIS CUSTOMER MONEY AT ONE POINT TO MEET HER DEMANDS. THIS IS WHAT BUSINESS OWNERS DO WHEN WE WANT TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS AND FOR OVER SIXTEEN YEARS WE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL AND HAVE MANY FABULOUS CUSTOMERS WHO SAY WONDERFUL THINGS ABOUT US. WE INVITE YOU TO LOOK PAST THIS REPORT TO THE OTHER 60+ POSITIVE REPORTS AND THE 3 “SUPER SERVICE” AWARDS WE HAVE WON FROM ANGIE’S LIST AND THE 8 POH NOMINATIONS. YOU MAY ALSO GO TO OUR RAVES PAGE. WE CONTINUE TO WORK HARD AND SURPASS PEOPLE'S EXPECTATIONS OF WHO WE ARE AS A COMPANY. WE TAKE PRIDE IN THE GOODWILL WE HAVE BUILT AND CONTINUE TO BUILD IN OUR COMMUNITY. SINCERELY, DAVID AND MELINDA LUCAS (OWNERS) ROBIN AND CHRISTINE (CUSTOMER SERVICE)
