Can i ask what it is we get in "customer service"?

As far as i go, you turn up for a t/day, have a briefing, go out in groups, and hope you or someone else doesnt spoil the day for yourself or hopefully others!

Personally i want to do this at the circuit of my choice for as cheaper price as i can get.

What else can you get? Most of the "instructors" are frustrated racers with their own free time agenda, and that goes for all the different companies ive used.......

I have also found that fe do take your complaint seriously if you put a reasoned case to them.

damn... i find myself agreeing with AndyB.

I've always found Focuseds' customer service exactly what i want it to be...

OK, if you ring up late and ask to change the date/cancel, they may say No.... but that's all in their terms and conditions.... As it the rate of £15 or whatever it is to swap person etc....

As for the complaining about a rider... sorry guys, i just don't get it... i really don't...If someone is riding like a muppet and nearly takes me out, i won't be snitching to teacher, i'll be going to have a chat with said rider myself and asking him what he's playing at. You'll often find he's either unaware of his overtake and willl apologise, or simply made a mistake(you know them, we all make mistakes don't we ?) and got it all wrong..

Simple ?

Customer service may be an alien concept to some, but in the lines of business where customers vote with their feet and therefore can decide whether the wages of the service provider are paid or not (unlike Public Sector), it is important to take into consideration the views of the punters and develop a business model that best meets these whilst trying to operate at a profit.

With FE and their "budget" approach, you won't get the best service and few, if any extras - it eats into profits, whereas if you pay a bit (without the DSC discount) more and go with No Limits, you'll get better attention to detail, a more professional approach and most importantly, more tracktime.

If I have the choice, I will always choose No Limits, but if dates don't tally, then I may book with FE, but if I do, I know it'll be a poorer customer experience.
