Weird call today from my dealer

[tngreg]

It's 2022, so no excuse not to being able to provide customers ACCURATE real-data direct to the customer.

Maybe the new CIO can do it...although his employment has changed a lot, he seems to have a handle in the online customer facing space...

"DEARBORN, Mich., Sept. 13, 2021 – Ford has a new chief digital and information officer, Mike Amend, who will help focus the company use of data, software and technology to drive growth and .....create value for customers... and other stakeholders – objectives which are central to the Ford+ strategy."
"His team will help ...translate customer needs into software solutions... that engage and create value for them, Ford and other stakeholders."

Or could be his CSR was OTP or IAM so he got a different POC who's trying to go from PTE to FTE but needed a boost by COB so he peeked the CSR's CRM and cold-called the first name he saw.

Just guessing...

You need aa nap.

Ford just doesn’t care.

I know :-( BUT as I told my sales guy I have all the time in the day while I am car-less till this Mav gets delivered and I will keep telling everyone, posting & tweeting and tagging those at Ford, about how Ford has been towards everyone especially those who took the chance first and ordered in June & July.

I bet they are absolutely gorgeous. Tonight I will dream of waking up on Fathers Day with a new backyard featuring an XL as the centerpiece!

But seriously, thank you for standing up. Some dealers might be picking off the 'low hanging fruit' because many Americans seem resigned to accepting total BS, lies and crookedness. We must take a stand and not allow it.

Ah thank you, I pride my work on being aesthetically pleasing to the client's eye but also scientifically good choices for a space, that withstand the tests of FL environments and time. I know more than a little about selling a plant, a vision, concept or yourself. When you are dealing w plants it isn't like parts or widgets, they can not just be 'made' they are grown which takes time, business-wise you should stick to material available but that is not always possible so clients expectations need to be managed before a contract is even signed. I am all about under promising & over delivering. I spent 15 yrs in logistics for a plant grower who was one of the most expensive, so we had to excel at service to justify the cost to landscapers, nurseries and garden centers.

funny you should say to stand up. I grew up in politics and my father told me even as a child I should stay out of politics w my mouth, I would end up in a Chicago canal HAHA!!! I do not back down from any challenge, I grew up rebellious on the southside of Chicago & ran w the worst of gangs in my teens, no one intimidates me. If I don't eviscerate someone w my vocabulary I will shock them w the language I will go down to (managing 100 semi drivers & a couple landscape crews, you need to keep up w their mouths lol). I may have scared my salesman into saying he made a mistake but after further research I believe they were indeed trying to see who would back down and fold. I will stay on top of the progress on the build w Ford, do some more research and reload my temper if needed. I was going to push my husband to just buy w markup off a lot but now I'm pissed they thought they could bully us or anyone. Pfft challenge accepted!!

Maybe you should run for the School Board. Actually, you have more intelligence and 1000% more work experience than many of our politicians. Run for Congress!

If your Dad said "stay out" when you were a child, maybe he was using child psychology - and really thought you'd be good at it?

Oh definitely no on all the above haha! Also I don't have those kinds of kids, just the 4 legged ones. The only thing my dad knows anything about is accounting & financial planning and I can say parenting isn't in his lane either haha! You did make me just realize thou that my championing the under dogs probably came from my dad, he is a well known philanthropist in his community.
