Poor Service at Cavendish Mall Vodacom

Good day,

I visited your Cavendish Mall Vodacom and I would like to bring to the attention of the owner of the branch, that customers are being turned away.

I asked the first consultant if they offered eSims and was told no, she then walked away.

I persisted and showed a second consultant an online Vodacom newsletter saying that eSims were launched in 2020. She then said yes, they do offer eSims. I enquired about a contract and asked for a cheap data contract (as this is a secondary line). She said that her cheapest contract was R129 per day month and it comes with free minutes (which I did not need). She said there’s no other contracts.

I walked away, looked at the Vodacom website and saw a bunch of cheaper data contracts online. I walked back and showed the consultant and she said that was an online only deal.

I’m not sure if your consultants at the Cavendish mall are ******** or have no interest in making sales, but this is really poor service. Better training is required for your staff, else rather keep them in the back office, away from customers.

Keen to hear your thoughts.

Vodacom, thank you for the prompt response. Your response however fails to focus on the key concern raised, which is poorly trained sales staff. Any response on this?

Now to address the concern you responded to, which is online sales versus in store offers - are you confirming that the cheapest in store contract is for R129 a month? I find this hard to believe as I did call Vodacom and they have said the cheaper contract I was interested in would be available in store.
