  • ...by the way. I don't know whether all my customers are saving money. I present the benefits of being a Club Member, which are not just price-based, and if that is for them then great. They can leave at any time, they have my home address and mobile number if there are any questions or queries. 95% stay with me, and many of them pass me referrals - so I guess they're happy with the deal they're getting - and isn't that what matters at the end of the day?

    Oh I see, the ability to read make you a well adjusted member of soctiety. Maybe UW should start a book club, a little bit like Richard n' Judy, but we could call it Keggs n' Carmine.


    What happened to you last night? We were having fun on here. On second thoughts....:rolleyes:


    Beware the undertoad!

    Of course there is always a better deal out there - but it's up to those company's to put them in front of the customers!! Not the reps of their competitors!!

    Hilarious!!

    Why do you find my post (on this money savers website) correcting the impression given by Maz (a uw rep who breaks the site rules when he didn't declare this in his spam post) that we will all save if we become one of his customers so funny?

    All his customers must be too lazy to have done their own research, or possibly they were swayed by him mentioning the words "cheapest" and "guarantee" (without adding "worthless") and trusting him to be telling the truth.

    I guess that your beef with UW is that (like all companies) there will be a minority of representatives who mis-represent what is on offer. I agree with you totally that this is wrong. Indeed a UW rep can have their position terminated if found to be doing so.

    However, if the UW proposition is presented correctly, then whether the customer has done any research is irrelevant. If it works for them on whatever level (price sometimes, customer service, one bill...) then as long as they are in possession of the full facts then there shouldn't be a problem.

    The problem with this thread is that it's a money-saving site, and whilst UW will save many people money, it's not their main USP, and many UW ID's get over-enthusiastic about what they represent. They're a utility business like any other.

    We have often been told here that uw will not countenance any rep who brings the company into disrepute (though many posts here from some reps seem to do just that!), yet we learn from the videos that misrepresentation is the norm, and seemingly encouraged.

    See ex policeman Gary talking to the gullible spanish teachers:

    http://www.networkerplus.co.uk/videos/signing-customers.html

    Note that gary the great explains away why uw don't feature highly on switching websites. He explains that is because uw don't pay the likes of uswitch for referrals. The deceit is glaring - uw doesn't feature "highly" because of its expense, which we all know. But your prospects don't expect to be lied to by the man from uw their friend has recommended to them, and accept whatever you tell them. Note he then goes on to tell them that "our company is the cheapest provider for gas and electricity, so its nice to have this sort of credibility". The gullibles nod enthusiastically.
    Take note of Gary's polite, yet assertive approach and the fact that there is very little detail in his presentation
