I am supposed to be the intelligent one. I say its good to be paid for doing work and helping people save money with a highly recommended, award winning company.

There is a guarantee that UW do.

"Every month we compare the prices we have charged for your calls against BT's latest prices, and we will give you an additional credit if necessary to ensure we are cheaper"

Do BT guarantee to beat UW prices?

Just thought I would add that as people are gong off topic and this is generating ranting behaviour.

You tell us you are the intelligent one, then insult our intelligence in the very same breath. Vinny, you have to remember that we are not a gullible punter who actually believes what the TVG says. We have a brain, and unlike you feel no need to brag about it.

You keep bagging on about this guarantee.

ITS WORTHLESS

You take it too literally. You know I was defending you against the accusation that you are wasting all your talents/gifts just selling expensive electricity at £2.50 a time.

Though I don't know why you are a rebel, and don't do the martini presentation as your company seems to want you to (from the clips we have seen).

I have explained in previous post about why I prefer not to do the martini presentation.

I wonder why people are saying I am wasting my time when I at least do earn money off it. People have been wasting their time for a few years on the forum trying to say UW are bad. They don't get paid for that do they. The company in the mean time has grown and grown and become company of the year.

If I am to be the voice of reason in a sea of rant, then I reason this. Why waste your time trying to stop UW. They will keep getting better and bigger. You will still be saying the same things when they have 2,800,000 customers.

There are guidelines on here that some could do well to remember:
Take care over copyright. Use excerpts and links rather than copying long text.

I presume you are worried about the quote from big al's mind manipulation talk to the uw reps at their rally:

http://www.networkerplus.co.uk/videos/rejection-free-presentation-big-al.html

I did give the link then, and just copied a short bit of verbatim text to let readers get a flavour of big al's advice to you reps on what to say when manipulating prospects' minds:

big_al wrote:

so what we need to do is learn how to manipulate their minds...make them say whatever we want them to - they're not using their mind anyway, somebody needs to use it

or this short extract from big al's bullet points from the linked web page:

Control their mind and freeze their brain with four words..."I just found out...", "there are two types of people in the world", "if you are willing to fill out a simple one page form then, you could get a disscount on all of your utilities",

Or is this just sour grapes after you had to lash out £40 on a pair of tickets to go to the uw rally, when we can now hear and see it for free?

I just noticed that its possible to increase the size of the font. That's interesting. And the colours as well.

I don't like to blow my own trumpet but I have been told by many that I am supposed to be very intelligent. I get good customer reviews. Maybe I should be in the Which magazine under the which distributor report.

Big words don't scare me. I am bigger than a size 24 font.

Big Al scares me. Maybe you should show potential customers the video clip, then let them decide?

vinnyph

I just worked out that I am equivalent to a size 4693 font size. So there.

Big al is only 5 foot 2 and a senior citizen. If he scares you how short are you then?

Another uw "guarantee" crawls out of the woodwork, quoted minus it's small print (which of course renders it worthless):

Price promise applies to total cost of using our Home Phone service compared with BT, excluding club membership fees, short-term promotions, special offers or surcharges but including charges levied by BT or ourselves.

There's lots more small print in connection with this.

As soon as you see the word "guarantee" in any ref from the uw or one of its reps regarding their prices being the cheapest, always look for their hidden disclaimer.
