Someone named "Liz" from this number just called asking for my boss, saying it was a "personal referral." Would not give details. Not a good way to sell a product!
Hello, Gatekeeper~
LOVE your post! Kyle just called me, asking for someone who also has been gone for years- Kayle wanted to know who else he could approach. I told him I would have to research his company before referring anyone to him.
Kyle told me I would LOVE his wine so much, that I will hop on a plane, and take him clothes shopping to show him my appreciation. Wow, what an [***]-umption! He said he will call me back at 5:30pm; fortunately, our phones go on night mode at 5pm!
I agree that their sales tactics are not the best but I've been buying wine from them for several years and they do have some great wines that cannot be found anywhere else at fair prices. A good portion of what's in my cellar has been purchased from them over the years and the one time I got something I didn't like they took it back and gave me a full refund. I also bought some private label wine from them (my name on the bottle) and my friends rave about it when I give bottles as gifts.
Had some awful bieatch call our business asking for my husband. She said it was a personal matter...i knew better and i said "if its personal dont call back." and she said "EXCUUUUUSE ME, what did you say???- who are you...this is personal - ill just call his cell" I followed with "go ahead- most likely ill answer" + several strung together expletives and she hung up.
What an awful job.
The caller asked for our chairman and when I asked what it was regarding she said "Oh I just got him as a referral and I'm trying to touch bases with him." I never put these calls through. I have been known to play 20 questions with them to see how long I can keep them on the phone before they lose it and hang up. She said she was with Montesqu (did not say Montesqu wines), however the caller ID said "W.G. something".
The Caller asked for an individual who has been long gone - then expected me to tell them who was his take over. Wouldn't give me any information on their Identity and was getting rude. As far as I know we have never done business with them. They are terrible at their marketing calls. They earned a one way trip the the DNA. Caller ID was W.G. Best Weink. - W G Best Weinkellerei Inc.
