Especially given he works in cybersecurity, which made me think he would be the most suspicious out of all of us! The fact that @borski has faith in the company regarding this is a great sign.It's kind of an automatic assumption these days that companies are doing things like this whenever they can. It's really assuring that you, as an owner not connected to the company but better connected than some of us, have that faith in what is and isn't gong on.
It shouldn't be an automatic assumption. I know it is too, but it shouldn't be. You should throw products that do that directly into the trash and never buy them.It's kind of an automatic assumption these days that companies are doing things like this whenever they can.

In any given business, you have a few dozen touch points with the customer. Managing that experience is extremely difficult, and this is actually a perfect example of where a single touchpoint with a long-term happy and loyal customer completely ruined this customer's experience (even if temporarily).I do have one unresolved question, which perhaps somebody can help answer... what is causing Lucid's "rep BS" issue? It is extremely common to see Lucid Customer Service reps state absolute nonsense, and I'm a bit confused why this issue still persists with Lucid.
I completely agree. In fact, it is one of the things I look for in interviews. If a candidate refuses to ever say "I don't know," I have serious trouble hiring them, because that either means a) they know everything, or b) they make shit up.People also have a fear of saying, "I don't know."
I always found that admitting that you don't know something can be very powerful way to build trust. Especially when you go out of your way to get the answer. It is a huge opportunity to build a relationship.
The one caveat to that is, if you don't have the support structure to get the correct answer. Then BS tends to follow.
In my line of work, I was taught to say “I don’t know but I will follow up with an email to answer your question and be sure to include documentation.” Goes over well with customers 99% of the time.I completely agree.

I have only once run into the former. I hired them and they remain one of my best friends.
Every single other time they have been the latter.
My favorite answer? "I don't know, but If I had to guess, it would probably work like this, based on $foo and $bar and $baz." I don't even care if they're right, just if their logic holds.
Second favorite? "I don't know - how *does* that work? Can we find out? Can I look it up real quick?" to which the proper response is "Totally - how would you look it up? Where would you go to look for it? Let's do that together"
And pretty much every answer is better than "Oh, yeah, you just <insert made up crap here>."
. This is a perfect response, assuming you then follow up.In my line of work, I was taught to say “I don’t know but I will follow up with an email to answer your question and be sure to include documentation.” Goes over well with customers 99% of the time.
I totally agree. But that just means more training is necessary, and more feedback from recorded calls. Running a CS team is difficult, no doubt.And yes, for a lot of people that is difficult. I mentor every year for people EIC and many times when they are in the spotlight they freeze. They don’t consciously even realize the word vomit that follows.
It’s human nature. When people’s backs are against the wall, the fight or flight kicks in which unfortunately means they will say and do whatever they need to get out of the situation. I’d imagine the CS team is no different. Pressing customers call in and they panic.
