No more Mr. Know-it-all, please
Article Abstract:
Bell Canada's poor management and decision-making is inadvertently taking a toll on the firm's image and credibility. Proof of this is the telephone company's condescending advertising represented by a know-it-all character with an idiot for a sidekick. Not only is this unprofessional attitude found in the firm's advertising, but also in its office front lines. Bell Canada should focus on a core business and improve its customer service at all levels to retain its market leadership.
