How do I volunteer to be put on the list???

I was on their list here in Qld.
They seem to have had a bad time of it and it shows in their manner.
I dont know how the caste system fits in with these callers but they
speak as if they expect to be believed even though they are 'hard
selling'. Most of us have a natural resistance to a sales pitch and they
dont seem to understand why. (money)
At least that was my experience.

Why "priceless". Why should a call centre employee in India or
Australia or anywhere else put up with verbal abuse or sexual innuendo
that is not related to their Company? I would not like to have to
staff the call centre that deals with my (Commonwealth) banks clients
who are ringing to complain about their crap service but I can see why
I would be forced to be polite. I see no reason to put up with callers
who ring to complain about my ethnicity or to make obscene phone
calls.

They think they are helping, they don't get it that people are probably
already pissed off when they call then doubly so when they find they have
been palmed off onto an inferior outsourced help service next best thing to
nothing. The callers shouldn't be too surprised, they wanted cheap didn't
they? Probably calling because their cheap thing broke.

Me-me. Please ban me!!!!
After a number of calls from the same Indian source (I know 'cause they used the name wrong) over 6 months, I eventually
spat the dummy at the Indian prick. Since then I have had dozens calls from him (I know his voice well now) - usually
at 0800 EST - which included a bomb threat. I had to let the the answering machine screen my calls to avoid the child.
Indian 'callers' - I wouldn't feed the turds - let alone actually buy anything from their sponsor/s.

Many assume it's the sales callers involved but it's not, it's help lines.

Really? I rang the Panasonic help line just today actually with a question
about my 50" Plasma panel (hardly a cheapie) and got a paki who just quoted
from the manual. Even the big brands do it, and calls aren't just because of
breakdowns.
By cheap... "economically built", it might even be well built but the price
obviously did not run to a good help line & probably no way it will be
fixable if it breaks. It was probably built in China because it would have
cost more built here.

help line is there because it cost so much to make it there was no money
left huh. Tell us, where was it built? Is it the most expensive one you
could find?
Hunter01
HP ain't exactly cheap, and they've outsourced their support to India.
But then they've paid the price too. I know of one large buyer that no
longer buys from HP, with that being the anvil that broke the camel's
back, and I'm sure there are plenty of others that have made the same
decision for the same reason, especially with some of the brilliant
alternatives now floating around in Oz.
Hunter01
You ever tried to get off the phone politely from some of these
idiots??? It gets to a point of having no other alternative but to say
"LOOK JUST FUCK OFF AND DON'T FUCKING CALL BACK AGAIN YOU MORON!",
because if you just hang up they ring back. And that's just with the
unsolicited calls, with the so-called Indian "support" Call Centres, I
haven't found one yet that hasn't made life 1000 times harder than the
previous call centre, HP being a prime example. Used to have great
support, now they lose contracts due to their complete lack of anything
that could be remotely described as support.
Craig
Economies and cultures change and places like India deserve their turn
at economic development.
What drives me up the wall is the continuing culture of call centres
who are there to soak up you complaint but are unable to do anything
about it. Cultural clashes with an Indian call centre worker are one
thing but how many of us have had our nerves rattled and our tempers
fried by some smarmy telstra shit in a Sydney or Melbourne call centre?
Why does it have to be like this?

Panasonic is arguably the most respected name in domestic consumer
electronics. A reputation it has earned thru quality, performance, and
reliability. There are others of renown, such as Sony and Pioneer, and
not considering the European makes who have only minimal market share
here. The Panel is made in Japan, and in my estimation is the best panel
on the market today. Cheaper brands such as LG have Korean made panels,
and the no-name brands use Chinese ones. There are two major aspects to
the performance of a Plasma tv- the quality of the panel, and the
quality and performance of the electronics that drive it. The help line
was quite good; after the initial contact, which occurred without being
put on hold. Can't say I approve of overseas help lines. These ppl
aren't technical. They work from a database/FAQ which supposedly gives
them the correct answer to give you.

cheap. So since your Jap panel and the rest of the package wherever it came
from, was expensive, it could have ultimately cost more. That makes it
cheap, in the same way as a "good buy" or a "keen price" doesn't necessarily
mean cheap & nasty.

Not super cheap either, I don't think they've even really rated in our
last few tenders, decimated on pricing by local supplier/assemblers. And
that's without even taking into consideration that factors such as
value-add in relation to stuff like support and post-sale assistance
would've knocked them even further down the ladder even if they had been
price competitive. The only complaint I've got about some of the local
suppliers is that the failure rate is a tad higher, but I think I prefer
a tad higher failure rate with rapid quality support to a lower failure
rate where you need to learn Hindi to avoid sitting on the phone for an
hour to log a basic fault and then wait a week for a result on your 24
hour turn around on-site support contract.
Hunter01
Around 1000 FTE's and as many again PT's and casuals, with a floating
client base of around 10,000 at any one time, most of whom use our
client-side PC's I think constitutes as large enough... Picking up
around 1200 new desktops's this year along with a bunch of servers
doesn't really constitute small-scale purchasing either (and that's just
with our "time to replace the old shit" strategy, it doesn't include
fleet expansion or other shit that may come up).
Unfortunately it doesn't work the way you think it does. HP's helpdesk
for PC support is in India, simple as that. You can ring suppliers (as
we can) if you're a big customer and have them go through the nitty
gritty of logging your calls for you, but it doesn't really seem to help
much when they ain't techies either. The old local HP helpdesk was
great, it is now shit, it really is as simple as that. The servers on
the other hand are still localised support-wise (and strangely we still
buy their servers, just not their desktops).
Dell I think did make the move in the US of moving their support back to
the US for corporate customers after massive corporate complaint and
backlash, but HP have made no such move, they were just never silly
enough to offshore their server support. But then I think they forgot
where their bread and butter was, in the desktop market.

Supposedly. (faster, not far faster) But the current (8th.) generation
of Plasma panels have life expectancies typically equating to 10 to 20
years of normal use. And CRT is dead, and both CRT and LCD technologies
don't have screen sizes that large. I had a 90cm CRT which is the
largest size made in 4x3 format, and it weighted 128 kilos! No fun to
move. Plasma is the best performer all round, and the only viable option
above 106cm. LCD technology still has issues with fast motion, but
there's a new technology on the horizon that may replace them both.

Maybe not, but how much difference would it make? I think the idea is to
have a centralized support center that can service worldwide, and so
avoid the cost of having support centres in each country.

No that's wrong, as the quality of service relates to the brands
reputation, which then affects sales. Sooner or later a brand that gets
a bad reputation for service is going to have it's sales affected by
that. When I was shopping for this tv, a couple of times salesmen
mentioned about poor after sales service and product support in relation
to one make or another.

Yes, but it's irrelevant to a brands reputation or quality that most buy
on price alone. Anyone who wants a quality product will consider all
aspects, not just price. In which case a brands reputation for
reliability, service, and backup becomes relevant.

stuff. Even people choosing between say a BMW and Porshe will often choose
on price (why else would many include a toy spare wheel?) and a fantasy trip
which includes the determination it will never break down, because they know
service will be expensive and quite likely no better than for a Ford.

Most people need to choose on price, but more than that, most will look for
a better price for the same article even if they can easily afford it.
Shortcuts in the after sales department are usually not obvious when you buy
it (weren't for your TV) and not too important for many at purchase time,
but the price difference is.
I heard of an old RR which broke a half shaft in France - when he called
about a new one RR replied "RR's don't break half shafts", flew one from the
factory and fitted it FOC. But for all that RR are not the most popular
exotic car. You can have most of the features in another car for less money,
for instance my car is like one in that "horsepower is adequate" as at least
one RR manual states.

Too many purchasers buy on price alone, and don't consider such things
as makers reputation, after sales service and warranty, and then bitch
like hell when it falls in a heap after 12 months and they can't get it
fixed.

Like crap it is.......
What about Otus. They will phone my number 2 to 3 times a week asking
if I wish to change my phone service over to them and I keep telling them
I am not interested. All indian callers too.

why doesn't anyone listen?
John
how to sound "aussie" or "american" and such ...
Do they fly the workers out here to train them? No wonder our rates
for Origin and AGL are going up. The reason I ask is that they have
a lot of people roaming door to door trying to get contracts and they
are all indian..... Weird.......
We have had 2 from AGL and 3 from Origin Energy and they have
all been indian sales people....
