Consumers Fight Back And Win At HaroldSays!
October 12, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
HaroldSays recently announced the launch of its new consumer advocacy blog, HaroldSays. Haroldsays is the one and only consumer web blog in the world where consumers can go to get answers for their consumer-related questions, and solutions for their consumer-related problems. The consumer advocacy services are provided for free and with no obligation to the consumer. A directory of company and government agency contacts for consumers to refer to is also being developed on the blog.What makes Haroldsays different from every other blog in existence is that it is a blog where employees, companies, organizations, and government agencies are featured on the blog with their performance, products, and, or services reviewed or rated. The employee or employees involved, companies, organizations or government agencies then receive their consumer's or client’s post by e-mail, fax, or mail on their behalf from Haroldsays. Not only does the consumer have an opportunity to post their complaints, issues, questions, or comments; they can also receive free personal consumer advocacy and assistance from Harold Cameron, The Chief of Helping People of HaroldSays.
Harold Cameron, the Chief of Helping People for HaroldSays states that, "The purpose of notifying the individuals in the companies, organizations, or government agencies is to begin to effect a change in the way business is done in the United States. The people or companies, organizations, or government agencies who perform their duties well and meet or exceed their customer's or client's expectations receive recognition and praise, and those who fail to do their job well and meet their customer's or clients expectations receive a a negative posting. They are however given a chance to respond to the consumer's complaint and resolve the complaint or issue for them. As individuals receive notice of their positive blog post they will become more motivated to serve their customers and client’s needs better and improve their performance. Those individuals who receive negative postings will hopefully receive the education and retraining they need by their managers to improve their performance so that they can better serve their customers or clients.
That in turn will help all of us as consumers! Our consumer needs will be more effectively met by the individuals, companies, organizations, and government agencies we have dealings with on a day to day basis." Visitors to the blog can post their own personalized comments or questions and have them sent to companies, organizations, or government agencies on their behalf for a response.
