Good, Better, Best

A few weeks ago, I managed to get three kids in the van. On this morning, I wouldn’t have to speed to get them to school on time, but I was cutting it close.

I slammed my door shut, hit the button to open the garage door and turned the key in the ignition.

Nothing.

Taking the Time

I’ve never felt comfortable working on anything but the most simple plumbing jobs around my home. So when I noticed a leak in my sprinkler system, I decided to call a professional.

I started by checking reviews on Yelp. That took me to a few Facebook pages which lead me to a handful of websites. I made a list of six companies that had positive reviews from work they performed in my area. Of those six, I was able to get quotes from three companies, and my experience with each couldn’t have been more diverse.

Selling on Amazon

This article gives you a little insight of the process we had to go through to sell our products on Amazon-GPU Braces, TK1 Kits and TX1 Kits.

A word from a Support Technician at Puget Systems

Although our hope is that you will never have to call in to Support for assistance (we hope our machines operate at optimal performance out of the box and for many years without any hiccups) we realize that from time-to-time, you will need to reach out to us. Whether it is assistance with setting up or troubleshooting an issue with a newly purchased system or working to resolve issues with a system that has seen its share of years, we are more than happy to hear from you.

Working at Puget is Worth It

Hi. My name is Alicia and I am one of the newer employees here at Puget. I am the administrative assistant and the first person people see when they enter our office or speak to over the phone.

Having an Opinion

What does it take to provide good customer service? Among other things, it’s having an informed opinion, and actually expressing that to a customer.

A Peek Behind the Curtain

I had the mission to write a blog post that conveyed how we keep the repeat business of so many of our customers. After writing several drafts, I realized that the post had already been written by our customers — in the form of personal emails I receive on a daily basis. With their permission, I offer you two emails I have recently received. They do a very good job of summarizing why people keep coming back to Puget Systems.

A Race To the Bottom

I’ve been a customer of DirecTV for just over 14 years.

Yesterday, I called DirecTV and cancelled my account. To their credit, they didn’t hassle me very much, and only read off a script a few times to remind me that DirecTV is better than anyone else.

Let’s perform a little back of the napkin math: $100/month for 14 years comes out to just under $17,000. I’ve also recommended DirecTV to a number of friends and family bringing that total much higher.

A Small Issue

Most of my career has been spent working for large companies where employee manuals fill a 3-ring binder, policies number into the hundreds and metrics are used to measure the worth and effectiveness of employees.

Puget Systems hasn’t been around long enough nor have we grown so large that every issue can be solved by creating a new policy. When employees don’t have dozens of policies and procedures governing how they get their work done, their actions might not always been predictable.
