Customer Care – Easiest way to distinguish between different players

Scene 1: On 23rd Jan I registered on Tata Docomo website for mobile number portability. I got a confirmatory SMS that a representative will get back in touch for the paper formality and with a new SIM to be given to me in 4 days time. Till now I was feeling nice. I was thinking that the secret behind good consumer facing product is great Customer Service/Care. How much you value a customer? After 5 days of patience, I called up on the Toll Free Number 1800-266-0000. To my surprise they have no idea of this. After speaking for around 5 minutes I asked them how do I cancel my request? Simple solution: Send a mail to listen@tatadocomo.com detailing that you want to cancel the request. I got an automated response that my request will be served. Thanks a lot ! See the response below from them:

I was surprised to see the awards they have received for their service. Amazing !!!
Scene 2: Out on Indiranagar 100 Ft Road, Airtel Office, Vodafone Office, TataDocomo Office all in close proximity to each other. I went to TataDocomo first to enquire about my cancellation. Executive sitting in the office had no clue that one can opt for Number Portability on website itself. Instead of gap between the two I am more worried about how they can bridge this gap? I took some pamphlets which contained details about the 3G plan and walked out.
Scene 3:  Vodafone has very bad impression on me due to it’s poor service. I entered the show room and I noticed that there was a person talking in a loud voice to an executive. I thought of going near him and finding issue but saw that he was too busy in showing some mail on his laptop to the executive. I said good bye and walked out ! I felt that the first impression itself is so bad do I want to take risk? I got the reply; a firm No!
Presently my Edge network doesn’t suck so much ! :) Happy continuing the service.

The 3 qualities that will always help you become better at almost anything…

Have we ever noticed how excited we are when we start anything? But it’s a sad fact that 70% of people abandon what they have started with so much energy and love. It could be as small as building a hobby or starting a pet project or even an activity or a side learning we started. “ Well begun is half done .” Aristotle did say this but we are judged for how we have finished something. You separate yourself fro m  the masses when you choose to give that task a finish.  The first quality is finishing off what you started and it helps develop mental stamina or willpower.   It builds confidence and inculcates as a habit in a long run. You don’t need to sign up for the mammoth activity to build this habit, even finishing mundane day-to-day routine tasks will help. Diligence — the quality of working carefully and with a lot of effort Diligence is a quality that almost never will get unnoticed. It’s one of the underlying traits of grea...

Embracing the Journey: Finding Joy in the Process

Image
 In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in chasing our goals. Whether it's a career milestone, a fitness target, or a financial aim, we often fixate on the end result. But recently, I came across a quote by Sal Di Stefano that struck a chord with me: “The man who loves walking will walk further than the man who loves the destination.” Rediscovering the Joy of the Journey This quote reminded me of something profound – the importance of loving the journey, not just the destination. When we enjoy the process itself, we find a deeper, more sustainable source of motivation. This mindset can be a game-changer, not just professionally but personally as well. A Personal Anecdote: My Professional Journey Let me share a bit of my own experience. As a software engineer turned entrepreneur, I initially focused heavily on the end goals: launching the company, acquiring clients, and hitting revenue targets. But over time, I realized that what kept me going during tough times was not...
