Sales consultant with a bad attitude has made me take my business to a different provider

My partner and I have been trying to sign up for the LTE telkom special . This should be a relatively easy task you would think - however it has been a mission from the start . Firstly we visited the branch at Brooklyn , the sales consultant was not able to advise if our area had coverage, he told us to go onto the website and we could check there , we did this (which took a few minutes ) . We then went to Woodlands branch to sign up for the deal. When we arrived we were asked what we wanted , we explained and the consultant told us to wait in the line . When we got to the front (after 30min ) we were asked for bank statements , proof of residents and a payslip . None of which we had as we weren't told we needed them . We returned to the store today with the documents needed . The sales consultant (Koketso Moeng) was lying on the counter playing on her phone while we stood at the counter . When we advised we wanted to get the deal she asked if we had all the documents, we told her we did as they had told us yesterday . She then asked if we had our ID . My partner advised that he had his drivers licence which is an acceptable form of identitcation for any contract. She told us that it was not accept able - we would have to return with an ID . When we inquired why a drivers license wasn't accepted she couldn't give us an answer . We asked for a manager and she said that there was no one on shift, we asked that she phone a manager and she refused . She then continued to play on her phone and ly on the counter.

The service has been absolutely pathetic and Telkom clearly doesn't want business . We fully understand that there are procedures in place but prehaps the staff should be trained to advised customers of what is needed the first time to avoid frustration . Also , please ensure that your sales consultants have the necessary customer service s****s to deal with the public .

Reviewer Update
Launa - This information is completely useless to me now. The sales person should have communicated that with us the FIRST time we were in the store. From the other reviews and complaints it seems that there are countless issues with the staff at Woodlands and I hope that someone at Telkom Management addresses the issue for the sake of the Telkom business. There are minimal s****s you require to be in sales and lying on the counter on your phone while there are customers should defiantly not be one of them. We have signed a contract with another provider . Good Luck Regards Amber
