..A long name for a program that does a lot for both consumers and business alike.
Rip-off Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program,..A program that benefits the consumer, which assures their complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business.
As a matter of policy, when Rip-off Report is retained by a company to investigate independently and to publish our findings, we use every bit of information at our disposal to determine the truthfulness of the complaints against the company or individual. Rip-off Report cannot ever guarantee any product or service, but we can only report what we find, in order to help you get a better understanding of the company or individual we are investigating. That having been said, the conclusion Rip-off Report came to after our investigation, to the best of our knowledge, is that this company is a reputable firm, offering products and services of real value.
ALL COMPANIES GET COMPLAINTS, BUT HOW THE COMPANY HANDLES THOSE COMPLAINTS, SEPARATES GOOD BUSINESSES FROM BAD BUSINESSES. By Ed Magedson - Founder, Rip-off Report
Horizon Technologies approached Rip-off Report last month with the express purpose of resolving consumer concerns posted on Rip-off Report. After a recent mailing to everyone who filed a Rip-off Report, it became apparent that Horizon Technologies has a sincere commitment to remedy any and all customer concerns. Company executives stated to Rip-off Report that Horizon is consistently committed to making improvements to better serve customers and that the many things they changed came from suggestions right here on Rip-off Report.
Horizon Technologies explained to Rip-off Report that they have increased its customer service staff by 50%, created a new concierge department to interface with new customers at least twice in their 1st 48 hours as customers and extended their hours to provide longer access to customer service for more of its customers! They also have increased their product fulfillment department and extended that department's hours as well. Additionally, they have increased their distributor's web-site templates by 400% and reduced shipping times for GPS products to 48-72 hours of purchase.
ANY BUSINESS THAT CAN ADMIT THEY MADE MISTAKES AND CORRECTS THOSE MISTAKES IS A BUSINESS YOU CAN TRUST AND WORTH DOING BUSINESS WITH Company executives also stated that their new more efficient Customer Service Department has added several new processes to ensure they make even more contact with their customers. Horizon believes this has greatly enhanced their proactive approach to help customers reach their goals.
Rip-off Report gives Horizon Technologies a positive rating because the company revamped its Customer Service Department, Product Fulfillment and Commercial Sales Departments and reached its goal to achieve the highest possible customer satisfaction and excellent service. This was made possible by a totally honest approach to corporate introspection.
Horizon Technologies would have never made these changes if they did not first recognize and admit they needed to make enhancements. I have always said that all companies can improve in some way if they really want to. If that does not occur then the company stagnates and will ultimately fail. That is not the case here. The company continues to demonstrate its dedication to resolve any miscommunications and safeguards against similar issues in the future.
Horizon Technologies has committed themselves to go above and beyond by increasing quality assurance efforts and adding more quality assurance staff.
They recently tried to do more of an automated call system in an attempt to help improve contact with customers. This may have made communication more difficult rather than easier as they had anticipated. What they found was that they lost personal touch - something people had grown to love about their company. They are now back to making all calls directly with live representatives.
HORIZON TECHNOLOGIES GIVING THEIR CUSTOMERS THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT... Rip-off Report regrets that we need to say this, but (in this type of business, consumers can easily feel slighted when much of the success or failure of any enterprise rests completely on the person who chooses to take full advantage of the opportunities presented) Horizon cannot be held responsible for a buyer's failure to implement their recommendations and invest the time to make their new business successful. That is no fault of the company. As an example , if you sign a lease for a store, and the product or service you are selling fails, can you blame the landlord? Can you blame the consultant giving you the advice? Nothing is guaranteed, unless specifically mentioned in a contract. In spite of this... Horizon Technologies realizes that there can occasionally be a breakdown in communication between the client and the customer service agent for any number of reasons. Horizon Technologies is managing issues when they arise and proactively looking for ways to decrease possible misunderstandings in the future through added employee incentives, increasingly high standards for sales staff, extensive quality assurance measures, workforce management and training.
In spite of all these situations which may not be any fault of Horizon Technologies but in the name of good customer service, you have a company, ready to assist those who need more assistance and to make things right if things seem to have fallen apart for clients. The updated customer service appears to more than satisfy these needs.
"Horizon Technologies, LLC Executives stated "
We here at Horizon Technologies don't treat what we do as just a job. We have seen the thousands and thousands of customers who have benefited from our GPS products. Our dedication is to bring distributors into the world of GPS at the lowest possible cost with the opportunity to develop a real long term income that could change their lives for the better. No company is perfect, we are here to do everything we can and if at anytime you feel you are not being served correctly, please let us know so we can improve it and make you happy."Rip-off Report knows, there is no company or individual that is perfect - Horizon Technologies knows this also and demonstrates their need for continuing improvement - that is why Rip-off Report feels you can be completely confident, safe and secure when doing business with them as they are a member of Rip-off Report Corporate Advocacy, Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.
RESULTS OF MAILING TO ALL THOSE WHO FILED A RIP-OFF REPORT As a part of the Corporate Advocacy Program - Rip-off Report did an emailing to all those clients that filed a Rip-off Report, and I would now like to share the results with you.
As usual when consumers respond to our mailings, ..most said they appreciated our efforts and related that they had already been taken care of and that they were now satisfied. Many customers asked if they could remove the Report they filed and we explained that was not possible,.. that Rip-off Report's philosophy is, that it's better for the consumer to see how a company like Horizon Technologies takes care of business / their mistakes and their customers. No company can ever go with out problems, resulting in complaints. Warranted or not, all businesses will make mistakes. There are times when the company is not at fault, it has fulfilled its obligations and yet the client is not happy, sometimes because the customer has not made the commitment to spend the time to make their business successful. This is when both parties have to work hand in hand towards a reasonable solution for everyone.
Horizon Technologies has definelty learned from those who have complained... and they even seemed to be thankful for those who have brought problems to their attention. Rip-off Report asked one executive if they believe they have a better business because of Rip-off Report, and the executive agreed, and thought he would never say it, but... he stated, .that they definelty have a better business for it.
Keep in mind, Horizon Technologies has thousands and thousands of satisfied clients, who have helped Horizon grow to a leading provider of GPS Vehicle Tracking Systems in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Horizon Technologies has been listed at the top of the search engines on Rip-off Report - Rip-off Report recognizes the amount of Reports Horizon Technologies has is a tiny percentage (less than 1/2 of 1%) of their clients and is SIGNIFICANTLY well below industry standards for their business.
If Horizon Technologies, LLC was such a bad company, being listed at the top of the major search engines on Rip-off Report would have yielded them hundreds more complaints. With thousands of new customers every year, consumers certainly would have filed complaints if they were dissatisfied in some way. In fact, our review has shown that the most reports to Rip-off Report were already resolved by the time we began the investigation.
ABOUT THE CORPORATE ADVOCACY PROGRAM While Rip- off Report does not endorse any company, including Horizon Technologies, overall, our research demonstrated to us that Horizon Technologies, LLC is a solid, reliable company, that while not perfect, stands behind its service.
Many companies that contact Rip-off Report make claims that the Reports about them are false or were filed by the same person or even a competitor. Yes, Rip-off Report knows this can happen from time to time; however, we know this is not true most of the time. From federal to local law enforcement agencies, most use Rip-off Report regularly. When Rip-off Report works with law enforcement to assist consumers, never once have we heard from any agency that the Reports filed had bogus contact information. These agencies include FBI, FTC, Homeland Security, US Postal Inspectors, Justice Department, IRS, Federal Prosecutors and local law enforcement, to name just a few.
