Testimonials
This is just but a small sample of some
of the messages we have received. If you
want to send us love letters (or hate
mail)
I just
called and thanked you, but I wanted to
email as well....I've seen your site
before but havent used it untill today.
It works!!
After spending 5 minutes on the phone
trying to reach a live person at
Countrywide, I was put on hold (never
reaching a live person) and then
disconnected!!
I went to your site, looked up
Countrywide and followed the
instructions and got a human right away!
Thanks again!
There is hope in this hi tech world!!

Just wanted to say THANK YOU!!!
You are so incredible for doing
something like this.
I have used your site 5 x's in
the last week since I found your
site. There are so many
things I've needed to do but
they all entailed calling
companies regarding customer
service of some kind, but I
continually put them off cuz of
the amount of time each one
would take.
But with your help, i've managed
to get ahold of Virgin Mobile,
DHL, Compaq and more within
minutes.
All cuz of you!!
Thank you thank you thank you!

Dear
Walt,
I cannot
thank you enough for your Get Human
database. Many times you have helped
me to bypass automated phone systems
and speak directly to a customer
service representative. The time and
effort you have put into creating
and updating the database is
appreciated. Thanks again.

HELLO, MY NAME IS DOROTHY AND I JUST
WANTED TO SEND YOU A HUGE TEXAS SIZE
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WEBSITE. EARLIER
TODAY, I CALLED CAPITOL ONE TO RESOLVE
AN ACCOUNT ISSUE THAT I HAD. AFTER
SPENDING 25 MINUTES ON THE PHONE, GOING
THROUGH ALL OF THE OPTIONS SEVERAL
TIMES, I STILL COULD NOT REACH A PERSON
TO TALK TO. I HAD EVEN PUNCHED IN ZERO,
BUT THAT ONLY ILLICITED A RESPONSE OF
"THAT WAS AN INVALID
ENTRY."....GRRRRR!!! THEN THIS
AFTERNOON, ON AOL, I SAW AN ARTICLE
TITLED "HOW TO CUT THROUGH VOICE MAIL
HELL." THIS ARTICLE GAVE YOUR WEBSITE
ADDRESS, WHICH I PROMPTLY WENT TO. I DID
A SEARCH FOR CAPITOL ONE, AND WAS GIVEN
A NUMBER FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT ISN'T
EVEN LISTED ON MY STATEMENT. I CALLED,
PUNCHED IN ZERO AS DIRECTED BY YOUR
SITE, AND WAS REWARDED BY THE SWEET
SOUND OF A HUMANS' VOICE!! MY ACCOUNT
ISSUE WAS RESOLVED WITHIN 2 MINUTES
TIME. NEEDLESS TO SAY, YOUR SITE IS NOW
FRONT AND CENTER ON MY "FAVORITES"
TOOLBAR. AGAIN, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU,
THANK YOU, THANK YOU! A BIG HUG AND TONS
OF KISSES... DOROTHY
Just wanted to thank you for
your website. I switched to
Comcast (much more expensive)
over the automated system at
Verizon DSL. It took 45 min to
get a human. I was always always
on phone one and half hours to
get int working. Hate them like
you wouldn't believe! So many
people complained of their
system & they always lied saying
they were changing it. I do not
have Verizon DSL because of
their automated system - (plus
no one speaks English). Your
website is fantastic. A shame
companies can't figure out why
it's needed so today. If my
mother were alive she'd throw
her phone out the window. Thank
you so much - a true
lifesaver!!!! Keep adding to
your list. Sarah [feb 25

annoying/infuriating/aggravating than

Thank-you so much for all of this

that is not reported on your

am sick to death of the lack of
one-on-one, personal, human contact with
a company, after you have
spent your hard earned money to buy one
of their products and need
help with it! This world is
changing in so many ways, and this is
just one more example of how we are
going down hill, so fast! Anyway,
thanks again for that, and I will help.
Just maybe, we can get this

Paul - thank you SO MUCH for this IVR
cheat sheet information. I saw
information about it on our local news
broadcast (Channel 5 out of
Seattle). I have been complaining
about this very thing for the last
five years and my husband thinks I'm
developing galloping paranoia -
but you've freed me from the stigma!
I've maintained that many
companies have completely lost the
concept of customer service, don't
want to talk to customers and make it as
difficult as possible to
reach them. Only the
persistent survive. This is one of
the most
valuable and nicest things I have ever
found on the web - a big hug
and profound thanks for putting it
together for the thousands of
frustrated individuals who are now your
biggest fans!!

She usually just hangs up. When it

Oh how I loathe them. You're sitting

Prescription because you don't
want anyone else to hear you in your
quiet office. But the voice says,
I'm sorry, I didn't hear you. So you say

Thank you, Paul, for taking the time to
compile this astonishing
list. You cannot imagine (of course you
can . . . !) the frustration
of being whirled through the
labyrinthine rat mazes of these
corporations, the wasted time, the
infuriating way the system "chats"
with you like some goofy buddy. It's
creepy and obscene.
Recently I read in the business pages
that "many" companies are taking
the liberty of recording while we are
actually on "hold." Their
ostensible rationale for it is that they
want to "improve customer
service," by having an idea of what we
do while we are waiting for
service. Talk about creepy. Although
this "secret" recording practice
was challenged in court as an invasion
of privacy directly targeting
us in our homes, as I remember, the
final court ruling was that, by
telephoning a company, we relinquish our
"expectation of privacy." I
mention this to you because it never
occurred to me--nor do I believe
that it would occur to most
Americans--that corporations are
actually
recording us during the silences--what
we are saying, the
conversations we are having.

a person of talent and a benefit to all
us people who are tired of
being stuck on the back burner by
technology. Which technology is by
far a great benefit to people but when
we loose the human side of a
company then the humanity of the company
ends up being automated
robotics. Paul, you really do deserve
some kind of recognition for
your dedicated work. You have my vote.

Thousands thanx.
Related issue: junk mail.
It's so obvious but missed by many.
In
addition to posting my "do not mail" on
the official sites, whenever I
receive junk mail I don't want
(oxymoron?), if there is a reply
envelope with postpaid, I return all
their stuff, including the
envelope they mailed it in. If
there is no postpaid I sometimes
return it in their own return envelope
without postage putting their
address on the to and the from.
Without sufficient postage, the USPS
returns it to "the sender."
MetroLife kept bugging me in another
state even following up
unsolicited junk mail by phone calls.
I tried my earlier method.
Eventually I starting taping their
return envelopes to larger and
larger pieces of scrap lumber.
When I sent an eight inch 2x4, they
went ballistic, threatened to sue, etc.
BUT I stopped getting the
junk mail.

Another idea for a good IVR:
Don't tell me I can have my questions

What are these companies thinking?
It is such bad public relations to

Dear [Customer Support Rep],
Thank you for the £20 credit but you
don't seem to have understood the
problem. Please read my steps more
carefully. It has nothing at all
to do with volumes of calls. Your
system is badly designed and
severely deficient. If you still
don't understand my complaint, then
please pass it to someone more senior.
If I don't want a credit card
application form, to report a card lost
or stolen, balance transfers, my account
balance, to make a Switch or
Delta payment, to listen to my most
recent transactions, to request a
replacement card, or to order a reminder
of my current pin, then I
have to go through the 46 steps.
On one call, I just wanted to ask a
question about something, went
through the 46 steps, and then your
operator told me that I wanted
another telephone number.
Although I say at Step 14 that I don't
want my account balance, you
still insist on giving it to me at Step
30 and offering it again at
Step 32.

Dear Paul,
It was such a pleasant surprise when you
took my call and as I had
mentioned, I have been so angry and
frustrated with voice mail for a
very long time. Calling a company
can be a full time job!
I saw you on TV the other day and got so
excited that there was a
voice on television expressing thoughts
on the subject of my own
personal fury and indignation.
Thanks for the cheat sheet. Have
you ever been told "I don't
recognize that command" and you are hung
up on, or asked to spell a
name and when you do they tell you they
don't know the
name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope I can contribute to eliminating
or reducing this menace.

Paul,
The info you provided last week on
national TV was fantastic on the IVR
Cheat Sheet. After the program I went to
my computer and downloaded the
information and made copies for family
members, particularly the
elderly, who become frustrated with the
corporate system.
I had the opportunity to try it out
myself with Federal Express when a
package didn't arrive on Saturday.
According to their own package
tracking web site, the package had
arrived at my local Federal Express
terminal the day before had had plenty
of time to be placed on their
delivery truck. 2:00 pm arrived and the
package still had not been
delivered. This was especially
frustrating because the Federal Express
truck had just made a delivery to my
next door neighbor.
With the help of your cheat slip I was
able to bypass their main menu
and reach someone in "Client Services".
This is an option not offered
on their main menu. I read this person
the riot act. She tried to feel
me a line of B.S. about the weather
causing a delay.
I told her that I lived in Northern
California, slightly east of
Sacramento. I also told her that the
package was a 2 lb. box being
shipped from Palm Spring. There was dead
silence when I told her that
the weather has been perfect for the
last 2-weeks throughout California
and that the package had arrived in
Sacramento the day before thus
allowing from plenty of time to get on
the truck.
She imputed my info in the computer
system and guess what???---8:20 pm
Saturday night a truck pulled up very
quietly to my home, the driver
walked briskly to my front door and left
my package hoping not to
personally face me.
These automated systems do more than
aggrevate the person attempting to
make contact. It actually covers up for
the level of incompetency that
exists in both the private and public
sectors that service the public.
Anyway, thanks for appearing on
television with this information. I am
forever grateful. As a matter of fact I
sent all my friends a link to
your web site for this information.

I'd like to string up whoever
invented these dehumanizing machines.

We are a 55+ community with 800+
residents and also run one of the
county's most popular, most requested
newsletters. We want to take
the cheat sheet information and put in
our newsletter so folks can
look you up. Is is okay if we also
print the most updated list for
the January issue for those in our
community who do not yet have a
computer? If they like it and can
see what you are offering, they'll
find someone with a computer to look up
the updated lists we are sure.
This is a special thing you are doing...
