August 31, 2018 04:00 - 4.91 MB

Welcome back to another episode of ZorkCast. Today on the podcast we are going to talk a little bit about airline fare buckets. What’s very interesting is that airline pricing is a somewhat dynamic process.

Episode 51 What is “Real” Telephone Customer Service?

April 19, 2018 04:00 - 5.71 MB

Today on the podcast we are discussing what “real” telephone customer support is. Many companies say, “You are a premium customer, we value your business so much, you are a VIP.” But when you have to deal with calling those companies, you often do not feel very much like a valued customer at all! Especially when you call in, and you have to go through endless phone trees and menus to finally reach a customer service representative. Nothing says, “I’m not very important,” like having to go thr...

The title of the promotion was “screw it, let’s do it!” and it was a limited time promotion. The promotion was for a £50 (approx $70 USD) return ticket from London to Miami, and it was limited to just 50 people, however one perso...

January 10, 2018 05:00 - 7.42 MB

October 31, 2017 04:00 - 5.31 MB

Today’s episode is one of those rare times when I get personal.
