Alliance Healthcare - thumbs down

Off topic I know..but the mention of Unichem reminded me of when I worked in Cornwall in the eighties, and all orders were phoned in. The girl we dealt with on a daily basis had the sexiest voice I have ever heard. We went up to a Unichem show in London I knew she would be attending and (being 23, single and available) I eventually met her!
She wasn't a day under 60 and had the physique of a Sumo wrestler.
Shattered dreams...

Fleeg.

I know of someone who was in the same situation as you, but anticipated that the girl with the sexy voice would be a 25 stone with 'tache so took his girlfriend with him when invited to a trade show.
Trouble was that the girl with the sexy voice had a sexy body to match so wasn't allowed to chat when the girlfriend clocked her...

mkmattyk- I wouldn't have thought Alliance would want someone manning their phones whose grammar is as poor as yours. Good job AAH is easy to spell. I also wonder how many of these 5000-6000 calls are complaints?

[mkmattyk]

i dont work for unichem, but... lets just say i work for the other one. Anyways i went for an interview for the call center at unichem and they was complaining that they was recieving 900 calls a day as apose to where i work that take over 5000, and then ive heard they arent very helpfull

and im sorry matt from what ive heard unichem can do alot better in the call center department??? And when im doing 3 things at once my grammar isnt upto standard so shot me... you still understood what i was getting at tho!!!!

I had a similar experience with a girl from Vestric, a wholesaler in Speke, South Liverpool, at the time a part of Evans Medical/Glaxo. No idea who ended up owning Vestric.
She was quite a doll, in the judgement of my fiancee at the time, with the result that not only wasn't I allowed to meet her, but she got wind of my discomfort and flirted with me outrageously over the phone for a further couple of years.

I think that Vestric became part of AAH and in the same group as Lloyds.

Customer service is regarded as a non revenue earner. Ask for Sales dept and get transferred internally.

I do that John.

I dealt with Unichem since 1981. Due to a piece if monumental arrogance by Alliance around Christmas time we are using Phoenix in our new pharmacy (opened yesterday under limitation of contract, opportunity available to everyone!) and if they prove a suitable wholesaler Alliance will be history come June as far as I'm concerned.

Ask for closing accounts department. Usually works <g>.

Does that actually work lol

I have just threatened to terminate my virginmedia account. Secured great deal.

Interesting to note the service levels offered by the two companies. Unichem get 900 complaints a day but AAH get over 5000!! I won't be changing to AAH when I move. Thanks for that Matty or whatever you call yourself, I bet your employer is delighted you disclosed that little nugget!
