Below standards of a reputable business

I had a bad experience with yellow before, so when they called and tried to sell to me again I wasn’t interested, but after a lot of ”talk” I made a stupid mistake an fell for the talk of extra calls and generating more interest in my business. At no time did they tell
Me I had to create a business google page , I still have no clue what that is , I was just sent links and expected to follow the instructions, I suffer quite badly from dyslexia , at no point did anyone ask if I had any difficulties, and now I’ve mentioned I’ve got dyslexia and need help I’ve been totally ignored by my so-called business manager.
After 6 weeks I’ve not had a single phone call or enquiry, so please save your time and money , and use it on a business that actually values its customers and not just after a sale.

After leaving this review I was asked to leave my business details, I’ve spent the last 10 minutes being past from
Puller to post , still not able to speak to an actual person, someone need to call me or I’m going to be leaving 1 star reviews constantly

Your comments regarding communication, expectations around setup, and the lack of follow-up are all taken seriously.

We’d really like the opportunity to look into this further and make things right. Please could you get in touch with us directly via this link https://yell.com/contactus/ providing your business details, so we can review your account and ensure you receive the appropriate support moving forward.

Talking to senior account manager

Talking to senior account manager, Mr. Shaun Hand, has helped me tremendously with (financial) stress that I've been going through, recently (and for quite awhile). I truly appreciate Shaun's empathy and support. It means a lot to me. Thank you Shaun. Without your support, I would have considered closing the account.

GARDEN MAINTENANCE

This is a review for Gary Kelly Gardening Services in Stroud.

Gary has done a first class job on our garden, he has tidied up some dead plants, planted new ones and put down black weed suppressor and bark.

Finally, he has cleaned our patio areas which needed a spruce up. Thoroughly pleased with the result and would highly recommend to all needing some garden maintenace.

First class in every way!

Mis-sold a 12-month contract that cost me a lot of money and resulted in 2 leads after 7 months. This is not what I was told when i signed up. To leave the contract, they have made it deliberately hard to do; requests by email are not accepted, calls to various departments are required to ensure they keep milking you for all they can.

Hello,

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience, and this certainly isn’t the level of service we aim to provide.

We take concerns around contract clarity and performance very seriously. What you’ve described doesn’t reflect the expectations we want to set or the experience we want our customers to have. We also understand how frustrating it must feel to go through a difficult cancellation process.

We’d genuinely like the opportunity to look into this properly and see what went wrong, both in terms of what was communicated at sign-up and the support you’ve received since. Please contact us directly at https://yell.com/contactus/ so as we can look into this further.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, your feedback is important and will help us improve.

Many thanks Chris
