    Oh, good job replying. [big picture of my middle finger][/big picture of my middle finger] There was no picture in the reply, I actually typed that You should let people view course lists and prices without collecting their information so you can "follow up". I shouldn't get a sales call just because I was browsing. You'll find lots of colleges and training sites list course lists, tuition fees, and all types of information for viewing online. They seem to do well enough. In fact, out of all the places I was looking at you're the only one who got in touch with me. In the past through all my training you're the only one who hit me with a sales call.

      The fact he wrote "Private" life, is like he is insinuating you don't have a private life. This joker is mugging you off big time. Can't you get him in a cage?

          I am not sure this guy is worth the time you're spending at it. I wouldn't have brought it on the middle finger level, though, but this is a personal flavor.

                If he makes the mistake of carrying the conversation further, simply point out that the polite thing to do is to know when to quit, and going beyond that is just arrogance.

                        Yeah, I'm going to get after it. He's replied again referencing my (outdated) website and calling me a hypocrit because I have a contact form there.

                          I would.. He's a business and you're the customer. No customer should every be treated that way. Call the office, ask for someone important, get their email address, and forward them. . . . Then email this guy back and ask him if his resume is up to date :)

                            I got ahold of service, and then I attached him on the complaint email along with our full email thread.

                            Quote:

                            Sure. I put the thread in order below. I was initially just irritated that I had to be contacted by a sales person just to find out about the information there. This guy did a superb job at getting me calmed down and interested in training. Not just that he took the time to reply, but that he was a complete dick about it. Spending energy to be a douche bag on your companies behalf, rather than spending that energy in any service related fashion. And he just kept coming back. Word of mouth advertising doesn't seem to bother him, nor does the companies image. I suppose you could guess what I would say to anyone I know if they asked me about training camp....
