Default NEED HELP Special T Travel internet promotion

Recently I started employment for the company named "special t
travel".
At the time i had done no investigation into my future employer and
was
excited about a new position in sales... this excitement soon waned,
and
nowadays, as i look for a new job, i am disgusted with myself for
working for these people. Heres why:


For starters, NONE of you have
won anything. The so called awards certificate that you reiceved
while
on the internet is nothing but a popup- anyone going to that site will
get it. If you like, just for kicks, you can "win" this so called
award
again, and again, and again.
When this award popped up on your
computer, I will venture to say that your confirmation number was
either
56432 or 5222. These are the only two confirmation numbers, and are
only used by the company to track which advertisement (there are two
hence the two confirmation numbers) brings in more callers.

The place
where i work is nothing but a massive calling center, where 30+ idiots
work answering phones from callers who have recieved this so called
award. The phones ring off teh hook of course.

When you first call
in, you will be told by the representative to wait on hold while he
inputs your confirmation number and information into the computer so
he
can look everything up for you. This is a downright lie. What the
representative actually does is put the phone down for 10-15 seconds,
pick his nose, pencil in your info onto his daily logsheet, and then
pick up the phone again to happily tell you that yes he has confirmed
your award.
Next, the representatvive will tell you that you have a
rental car with unlimited mileage, and that you need a credit card and
license to get it. When you hear this feel free to laugh silently...
what this is is the representative screening his calls. He tells you
this so he can ask you in an un-assuming manner if you have the
potential to pay by credit card then and there... if you cant, you
will
quickly be
"shown out the door"

Oftentimes, if they feel your are
skeptical or if they follow their script correctly, they will tell you
how wonderful this all is but that they bet you are wondering what the
catch is. Youll tell them of course, and theyll go into a little
speech about how this is an advertisment promotion blah blah blah...
All
bull****, lies. Its not an adverstising promotion, its not even a
promotion. They sell this vacation package for 698, year round, to
everyone that calls because they think theyve won something.

The whole
affair is laughable, but thats not where the circus ends. They will
aslo tell you you have a bonus 3 day trip to vegas. Since the rest of
the package is for 4 people, youll assume this one is to. NOpe, the 3
day trip to vegas is for 2 people. Theyll tell you that... only if
you
ask them.

Then for the punchline of course. The sales scheme works on
an engine of what the business calls fronters and closers. The
fronters
are the peons who answer the phones, give you the basic info and
screen
the calls. If a caller is still around by the time the fronter is
done,
the fronter will transfer the call. They will tell you the consumer
that you are being transferred to a "quality assurance manager" Once
again, a load of Bull****. This quality assurance manager is what the
business calls a closer... their job is to make you feel comfortable
and
fork over your credit card.

The moral of the story- nothing is for
free, and in my expierience, special t travel primarily is selling
these
packages to folks who can hardly speak english and dont etnriely
understand what is going on.

GOOD JOB SPECIAL T TRAVEL! and we
americans wonder why the rest of the world hates us.


If you have any
questions feel free to email me at

If you like, I can even send
you a copy of the script all the fronters use if you want to have some
fun with them or for whatever reason.

Default Travel to Charleston, SC

I just came back from my first visit to Charleston. In addition to
the
homes located in the historic district, I would recommend visiting one
of
the plantations on the outskirts of town (I did Middleton Place-- it
was
excellent.) You should also take one of the guided walking tours of
the
historic area (or do one on your own.)

There is also a very good aquarium, the tour (via boat) to Fort Sumter
National Monument, the USS Yorktown (in nearby Mt. Pleasant), several
museums (Gibbes, Charleston Museum, etc.), and lots of restaurants.
It's a
fairly small city, and reasonably easy to get around.

I was a few weeks late for the best of the azaleas, but there were
still a
few blooming.

If you have a little extra time, I highly recommend Brookgreen Gardens
in
Murrell's Inlet (about an hour north of Charleston and a little south
of
Myrtle Beach.) Beautiful gardens and lovely sculptures.

OK fella travelers....last late summer I traveled to Savannah,

GA...had
never been there and thoroughly enjoyed it! Friends tell me I should

go
to Charleston if I enjoyed Savannah.

My travel is largely to the Caribbean and I AM going to the Turks

and
Caicos in July, but want an interim getaway stateside in the early
Spring...

If any of you have been to Charleston, can you give me tips of where

to
stay, what the offerings are....etc etc etc.

I live in DC and may take Amtrak, as I usually only fly when I
absolutely have to!

Default Travel to Charleston, SC

I just came back from my first visit to Charleston. In addition to
the
homes located in the historic district, I would recommend visiting one
of
the plantations on the outskirts of town (I did Middleton Place-- it
was
excellent.) You should also take one of the guided walking tours of
the
historic area (or do one on your own.)

There is also a very good aquarium, the tour (via boat) to Fort Sumter
National Monument, the USS Yorktown (in nearby Mt. Pleasant), several
museums (Gibbes, Charleston Museum, etc.), and lots of restaurants.
It's a
fairly small city, and reasonably easy to get around.

I was a few weeks late for the best of the azaleas, but there were
still a
few blooming.

If you have a little extra time, I highly recommend Brookgreen Gardens
in
Murrell's Inlet (about an hour north of Charleston and a little south
of
Myrtle Beach.) Beautiful gardens and lovely sculptures.

OK fella travelers....last late summer I traveled to Savannah,

GA...had
never been there and thoroughly enjoyed it! Friends tell me I should

go
to Charleston if I enjoyed Savannah.

My travel is largely to the Caribbean and I AM going to the Turks

and
Caicos in July, but want an interim getaway stateside in the early
Spring...

If any of you have been to Charleston, can you give me tips of where

to
stay, what the offerings are....etc etc etc.

I live in DC and may take Amtrak, as I usually only fly when I
absolutely have to!
