RE: Rage customer service
 

The age card was played.....because at 17yrs....you don't have a clue about what good customer service v bad is. When you've been in the business world a few years you'll know what I'm talking about. That isn't a slam on anyone. It's life.

I'm happy you're somewhat self-sufficient, Trevor. My son, too, mows a few yards for his spending money. I know. I bought his lawn mower. I bought his leaf blower. "His" business, I suppose....but ....well....you know;).

So you've bought a truck and all your hunting gear on less than $15K gross? What's your profit margin? Expenditures?

My son only knows he gets $50 to do the neighbor's yard. He doesn't think about the cost of equipment/fuel/maintenance/TIME/etc....

So when a teenager talks to me about customer service (really, Trevor....you couldn't have just let it go???).....I have to guffaw. I tried to pick no fight with you. I pointed out your naivety. That's all. It's naive to think a company has NO issues requiring good customer service.

I meant no disrespect to the generation .......heck I don't know what you guys call yourselves.

See Trev....there are exceptions.

Has his own home, too.....and works two jobs.

Kudos, Aaron.;)

No Malice intended in my post. I know quite a few people that work a Whole Heck of a lot harder than I do, and have less. I have been blessed in more ways than I truly know.

I thought you were changing heads because of your pass-thru issue Jeff?

That is good customer service though.

RE: Rage customer service
 

Still don't know what head I'm gonna end up using, LT....but I did have a few heads that needed some work (Rage heads). So I was just doing that. I probably have 6 to send them back. If I don't end up shooting them.....I'll have some for sale!:D

Actually....I'm going to experiment with some heads over the off-season.I'll be all ears after the season....except for one head....and that's due to one dickhead.[&:]

Just can't give it up, I guess not when some guy from NC brings in a begging daddy statement out of nowhere.....I had to register as a business this past summer because my operation got bigger than expected. No big deal, 300 dollars and I am in business.....I bought my own trailer, i bought my mower, my blowers, my trimmers, all the extras....out of pocket.I pay formy business license as do I my mowing insurance.My first truck was boughtby mydad 2 years ago. When I traded up this past summer, i traded it in and put $9k out of my bank account to getmy current truck. So i guess I really only own 2/3 of it. Profit margin, haven't sat down to figure up this year. Ill sit down with the tax man come April to figure that one for you. To be honest, it will be rather high, despite higher fuel costs this summer. Thats the good thing about mowing, you make loot for relatively easywork. I do well enough to not have to ask daddy for something when I want it, I go buy it. btw, Ive never made $15k, thats my expected goal for 2009.

Like I said, I don't live on my own.I dont pay for the majority of my meals. I don't buy my everyday clothing. Therefore, I am not self sufficient. Next year though,the University will buy my meals, and my housing, and heck..all expenses related to school. I will also have a state scholarship check written in my name for $2500 for my first 4 years of school to do with however I please (going to Alaska this next year with my first one), because I busted my ass to get where I wanted to be....and that is paid to go to college. Ill be going into my freshman year with enough hours to qualify as a sophomore.



What is wrong with the statement "A company that doesn't need to utilize their customer service program is better than a company that offers good customer service"? Im no economist, and haven't been in the business world enough to live up to your standards, but even I can see that this is common sense.


Now that you know some more about me, do I pass the test to atleast earn enough respect from you to NOT be classified as a lazy teenager? I hate talking about myself like that cause it just comes off as macho bragging BS, but why keep calling me out on something you have absolutely no freakin clue about? Im glad your son mows his neighbors yard with your mower, really am...just don't think his situation covers anybody else his age that works.

RE: Rage customer service
 

At the same time id urge you to consider that not all of us young guys are as naive as you are stereotyping and alot more self-sufficient than the majority. :D

RE: Rage customer service
 

Strike.....I'm not going to get into a "life" conversation with you, tonight. When I was your age (I'm assuming you're Trevor's age, or close..by your comment). I admit it....I knew everything (too?).

I'll give you a tip, though. You must get dumber as you get older. There's a few things I don't know, now. I KNOW I "must" have forgotten them, though.....right?

I am seriously considering 125gr Magnus Snuffers next year. Have to see how they perform first. (flight/penetration) I know their cust service is great as well.
