Guys, so far I like what I am hearing from you all. Your suggestions are all really good signs for us! Customer Service is the key to how we will operate. I have been in the Customer Service field for quite some time and plan to bring that expertise to the business.
Most all companies force there employees to rush off of a phone call which to a certain degree is needed so that others can be helped, but it takes away from letting the employee have a good time with a guy who is spending his money on his favorite toy!! It should be a fun exciting shopping experience for both people on the phone.
I will do everything I can to make my customers want to call me before calling a guy with a phone name like "Taz" who is being told not to spend too much time on the line with you. Like Paul Clark from Hydratech, Kyle & Stacy Tucker from DSE, & Tyler from ATS I will do what it takes to let you know that I want to make you happy again & again. Buying stuff is fun and the guys selling you the stuff should be almost as excited about it as you.
I too hate the standardized "two weeks" reply that you get on every single backordered part. I would rather tell you "it doesn't look good for this summer season" than take four or five angry calls spaced two weeks apart thoughout the entire summer season to ultimately end in a cancelled order and a bad taste in your mouth.
Although we are a small company in the grand scale of things the pricing should be very competitive once you compare shipping & handling fees throughout the aftermarket parts industry.
We are planning on some big incentives for forum members as well as offering some of you to play a key role in our business for those who feel qualify.
More details to come in August........
