Lack of Service in South Africa

Posted on November 4, 2008 at 11:31 22 Comments

Due to recent events that occurred on two of my projects, I am shocked by the service of distributors in our country. Offering lower prices and discounts, to clients behind our backs, sales departments that give out false information and not checking up. Distributors that lack the enthusiasm to send updated pricelists and then all of a sudden remember that they had to send you one when you phoned, but still only sending it 3 days after you asked.



Then there are reps…the usual, I want… Read more

Good for you Vivienne

I'm only sorry that you blog didn't stir up more of a hornets nest. you said what many of us feel. In todays society it's good to see some professional integrity. I too have a little black book and the companies and names are put in it.

One usually finds that the service deteriorates when times are good. Most suppliers and manufactures adopt a take it or leave it attitude. When there is a downturn in the economy they line up for your business. That's when the little black book comes out and they are gently reminded "where were you when I needed you".

It may not be a world or character changing moment but it does give a little satisfaction. Imagine if we all had little black books, how many of these companies would be in business in 5 years and the problem would go away.

I have been in the retail sanitaryware supply industry for many years of allowing an extra discount for designers always rears its ugly head. Whilst I will not debate the service levels from suppliers I would like to know why you think that designers should get a preferential price. In the retail industry cash is king and it makes no difference to the retailer who is paying that cash. As a proffessional service provider you have a right to charge for your services and how you make up that charge should be transparent to your clients including the adding of a handling fee. Retail prices have to be competitive in the market place and mostly do not allow for an extra discount.
