Kyle Geary was our Verizon salesman and he was a huge help when we went into the Verizon store in Fleming Island, FL on 08/20/2021. When my family of 4 signed up for Verizon in early 2021 we all got iPhone 12's. One of the principal reasons we got these phones was because there was a buy-one-get-one free promotion going on, so two free iPhone 12's sounded really good. However, something went wrong with our promotion when it booked in Verizon's system because we ended up getting a half off of the 2nd phone when you purchase an iPhone 12, which was a promotion that was also going on at the same time. So, since we signed on with Verizon, we have been paying about $33 extra per month. Kyle worked diligently to help solve our problem, and while he was not able to get it fixed that day, he did explain in detail the steps that he would take to get the issue resolved. Kyle also gave us his direct contact info, so we can follow up with him. We wound up purchasing two Apple watch 6's from Kyle that day and he was able to get us $300 off these purchases, as well as lowering our data plan monthly expenses on the watches from $10 to $5. Every dollar helps! At the time we came in the Verizon store, it wasn't too busy, and we sat down with Kyle immediately. However, the store became slammed very quickly, and while Kyle had to spend a lot of time with us, he was also able to manage the busy retail situation very proficiently and professionally; all while still catering to our needs. Just FYI, everyone should know that the salespeople at the Verizon stores do not actually work for Verizon directly; they are contracted employees. So, if you have customer service issues, the Verizon store employees will most likely be more knowledgeable about how to solve your problem, but they will not have any magic codes or numbers to call to get your issue resolved. They have to call the Verizon customer service number just like everyone else. However, if you do have a complicated issue like the one we have with our promo being the wrong one on our account, there are a certain number of direct Verizon employees assigned geographical to help solve these problems. As I understand it there only 2 of these direct Verizon employees assigned to the area I live in, which is the southern suburbs of Jacksonville, FL, and it may actually only be 2 direct Verizon employees for all of Jacksonville, which is a city of $2.5 million people. Also, as I understand it, these direct Verizon employees are not always the easiest people to work with; as I can only imagine the amount of complaints they have to deal with. Regardless, I know that Kyle had to wait to reach out to one of his assigned Verizon direct employee, because the one that was available is horrible and not likely to be much help. The name of the Verizon direct employee that Kyle was going to have to wait to reach out to is named Katie (I think?). If I got that name right, then I wanted to go ahead and say thank you to Katie for being someone that the Verizon store salespeople can rely on,l; that must be very comforting for them to know they at least have one person at Verizon they can go to when a customer has a difficult issue that needs to be resolved. In summation: THANK YOU KYLE! read more
