The area code 416 is not a US area code -- it is restricted to the City of Toronto (Greater Toronto uses 905), which is the largest city in the Province of Ontario.
Got a call from this number a couple mins ago, asked for the owner by name, then asked if he was on the jobsite already. When I said yes, he said wow, could I reach him on his cell?? I said if you already have his number because I won't give it out. Claimed he misplaced it. I insisted that I wouldn't give it to him, he then proceeds to tell me that they have these engaved knives they are selling, told him we aren't interested wondered why not, agian told him not interested then all of a sudden he hung up...NO GOODBYE NOTHING. [***] these people are.
I have recieved at leeast 20 calls from at least 7 different sale people from synergy. Some seem professional. But when I said no thanks to thier item, they began to push and when I tried to say no a second time they treated me like I did'nt have the right to say no. They will not stop until you buy or hang up. This is all of them so the owners must teach them thatway of selling. My first mistake was ever buying from them in the first place the item was crap and the service even worst.
I have recieved numerous calls from a salesmen at synergy named Ryan Estwick. He likes to call and pretend that we are friends,although I have never met this gentelmen. He keeps my secretary on the phone talking about nothing and being flutatious. Then finally he will get me on the phone and act like we went to school together. He wont stop talking untill I agree to take at least a small order. He seems to be a nice enough guy but he should know that I am to busy to hear about his wifes internet relationships. And the girl next to him who keeps trying to sleep with him. And every movie he ha ever seen. Eah phone call lasts at least 45 minuts. Any ways My advice is if you dont like the calls then just hang up.
I have just looked through the comments made about my company and while I very rarely respond to these types of things , I was driven to do so in this particular case. We have about 100 salespeople in offices in Toronto, Hamilton, Montreal, Vancouver as well as Williamsville, N.Y.
Our people make thousands of calls a day and while we may not be IBM, we are, in my opinion, the leader in our industry. If you have been offended by one of our salespeople I apologize, but the reality of the situation is that for the number of people we have and the volume of sales we make there are very few complaints about us both on this site or on any other. In fact, having checked the IP addresses on the comments above, it seems like these complaints are coming from only a couple of sources. I'm not sure what would drive someone to conduct such a campaign, but we are more than happy to deal with any complaints or problems. Both Jeff and I take all calls and are happy to speak to anyone personally.
At the end of the day, it is our goal to provide the best possible product at the best possible prices with the best possible service. If this is not the experience you have had, I want to know about it.
