First group stated they are from Canada and local but they are clearly from India and don't understand basic human communication lol
"I'd like to buy a computer"
Dell: Sure. We sell computers at our extended warranty store.
I changed my comment so you wouldn't know how I got so many likes
Yeah. Dell is ridiculous sometimes.
kind of hard to imagine thats the call you get for anyone purchasing an expensive ass alienware system, brutal
Imagine buying dell or alienware... jesust
That Dell rep downgraded the PC parts to add in the warranty and antivirus software so they could get their commission. Absolutely predatory.
I am still convinced they called a scam center instead of Dell. That was genuinely horrible.

only time I got a warranty for a PC was when I bought my first prebuilt PC cause I was spending so much on it. Only $100 extra and I had 5 year coverage which I actually used to get a new CPU
Well, their "support" is based out of India, so of course it's sounds like a scam call center.
dell legitimately sounds like a scam call, bizarre for such an established brand.
probably just outsourcing everything to the same call center
My soul sustained a catastrophic injury listening to it.
edit: my soul has since recovered after watching Maingear
Honestly its probably because they ARE such an established brand that they pull stuff like this.
I could probably splice this into the BG of one of the many ScamBaiter videos, and people wouldn't so much as wink, it's that scam like. Dell sounds like a scam...
Spoiler: turns it it was a scam seeing the piece of garbage they got sent for that kind of money.

“Sorry, you have reached Dell, leading financier, warranty-retailer and Anti-Virus whole-saler.”

Anyone remember when Dell was a reputable company? Pepperidge farm remembers. Back then HP used used to be a piece of shit. Oh how the turn tables.
Hello I'd like to buy a antivirus on finance.

"Wait, did you say you wanted finance?"
"Uhh, no? You just said you were leading finacier, warranty retailer and anti-virus whole-saler, and then you just asked if I wanted finance right away."
"Oh... Well do you?"
The Dell call was everything wrong with these types of calls. Just wow.
HP was everything I would expect from HP. Love them. They are full of good eggs.
3rd call was one of the best. Those guys are the dream people you want on the other end of the phone. The delay wasnt the guys fault. They are probably busy. They are probably busy because they are good. Probably not many of them because they are actually trained and hard to find.
I am going to use maingear for my next PC. That experience was what I want.

As someone who has worked in sales. I can tell you that is likely a company problem, and not the individual. Where the company says Warranty sales = profit you sell it, or your fired. But you know it's not said like that and it's months of badgering by your manager and being humiliated and put down because your warranty sales % on sales aren't up to par because you have a soul and can't find it in you to sell someone a $150 warranty for 3yrs on a $300 product.

I love that cyberpower transferred you to a sales rap and then the sales rep basically said go away and hang up the phone.
Yeah weird.. I bought a pc from there and it’s great 😂.. I knew what I was doing though (slightly)
14:10 - dear LTT. I worked as a commercial salesperson in a computer stores for quite some years. This right there was a classical "woops we screwed the pricing, customer wanted to pay 2k$, why are you selling her a PC for 1.6k" from a supervisor probably.
So what do you do in this case? Fake the "out of stock" situation, provide an option for 2k and if the seller refuses and wants to opt for the 1.6k one, just offer her the same PC that was advised at the beginning, magically appearing in stock, since the seller was so scarce with information there was no way to tell if he was talking about the same PC.
Ezpz, 2 grand in the bag. And the guy probably heard a few words from the supervisor to boot.
That was very insightful thanks
That's more realistic unfortunately, thank you

And antivirus!
MIGHT get a computer

Sarah : "Shutup and take my money"
Dell : "Okay, would you like to finance that with us today?" x3
"You don't understand, we will take your money, some interest, a lot of your data!"
Seriously, paying upfront is not a big deal for huge corporations. I tried to pay off a loan and the bank straight up refused to receive the money. The clerk almost begged me to not pay it, because it would fuck up their semester goals. They ended up accepting, because it would be ilegal to not to.
i just hate blah blah warranty blah blah antivirus blah blah i don't need warranty, i can just fix the pc myself for the antivirus, I know how carefull to be, from years of expirience in cracking software. And some people don't, making it easy for big companies to squeeze the money out of the customers
@@ernanipozza Your fiat is no good here sir. We take digital only, and no, not bitcoin.
@@ernanipozza it didn't have interest. but yeah
@@tanszism Well, "no interest" just means fees in the end. Like a few bucks each month or on setup.
Ibuypower is still completely accurate as far as the address and payment method crud, and when they finally put it into shipping, the tower I got for my budget is absolutely amazing. Every title I've played, even current, has been absolutely emaculate.
HP over the last few years have been great. When I was close to the end of my warranty(less than a month) my ssd on my omen laptop failed. They allowed me the option of either sending it back for an ssd or mailing me one with everything installed, for me to replace myself, since my warranty would be up when i recieved it. Never would have happened in the early 2010s.

Did the HP guy just give her $50 off for no reason?
When he answered the call he did say there was a sale currently so I think he picked one from that first, and since he made a mistake offering her one that was sold out, he gave her another option and made the price fit into her budget better.
What sales does is this to make them look good. The original price was always 1999.99. So HP says oh we are out of stock on a cheaper system. But we have this other one in stock for 2049.99. I understand thats over budget, so Im just going to knock of 49.99 and make it within your budget of 1999.99. Upselling 101. I used to do this all the time.

Damn never gotten so many likes before, really appreciate it.

No... G5 is a "series" of computers so it has multiple options. the base model is an i5-10400F, GTX1050 Super 4GB, 8GB DDR4...
Been working with dell professionally for 7 years and can confirm this is exactly how they operate even for business customers. They always try to upcharge unless you call it out in the invoice before you purchase
I used to work in a Computer shop. The reason they upsell so hard is because they make a bigger margin on a single one of the several upsells, than they do on the system in most cases. That's why you struggle to get a discount on a stand alone computer, but you can get relatively "massive" ones if your bundle includes the optional extras like Office, anti-virus, extended warranty, and finance.
"Damsel in Distress" Would be the role of a lifetime for Linus
@@iwantsexseemyvideo6868 same
Umm you mean every Anthony video? Linus is always about to scrap to project and Anthony comes in with the save.
Hahaha

"Uh, hello? Yeah, I dropped it."
Customer: Hi, I need some help with building a gaming PC.
CyberPower: *no*
lmao ive never called a sales number in my life, its a dying breed anyway
@SureSour when you don't have to pay decent staff like Origin you can afford to lose a bit on the hardware.
Anyone buying a pre built probably needs the extra support.
Computer says no!
is it just me, or does the cyberpower rep sound like the exact same guy they had 2 years ago? their weird accent and manner of speaking sounds identical.
Cyberpower sales team seems like the easiest job. "WTF are you talking to me for? That's why we have a web site. W E B S I T E!"
I like the way your assistant was so excited about rooster.
That entire first scene was gold
Lol, without these Secret Shopper I wouldn't even know sales lines even exist.
Essentially, they don't.
Yea I don’t get why anyone would do this
I honestly didn’t know it was a thing until watching these.
@@ErinChisman I was thinking exactly the same thing!
Watching that Dell call gave me some serious anxiety imagining a real customer calling and getting ripped off and not having a clue.
When both are coming from same country lol
If I could have recorded my Dell experience and put it on RUclips people would have gotten PTSD from it.
It was so painful to watch
It sounded like one of those indian scam videos from Jim Browning.
BRYANJOS13 it is a scam lol
Can't wait for the next one!
This was an actually fascinating video
Dell: "Have you heard of the word from our lord, Warranty?"
I laughed
@Futon Entertainment "Let us pray, for our anti-virus"
"Dell doesn't even deserve the product placement" linus you savage😂😂
I think he went too easy on them. It looks like they downgraded the hardware to add the warranty and antivirus even though she said no 20 times. That's a scam.
@@devin2156 I agree with you
@@devin2156 it wouldn't be an Indian call center if it wasn't a scam
@@imBigo oof...
i want this series againnnnnnn
40 seconds in and I started laughing harder than I have in a whiiile. God damn that was the perfect delivery.
The Dell call center is literally just one of those scam call centers. I almost can't believe how bad that was.
My heart dropped when she said 1660 ti
I'm pretty sure i talked to that exact person on asus tech support
I hope you aren’t saying this because of her voice, but I agree completely
@@whydidipickthename7413 Her voice? No, what a weird thing to say. Her accent and grammar? Abso-f'ng-lutely.
Dell: Would you like to finance an extended warranty for the antivirus on your 1660 graphics card?
The warranty is more expensive then the 1660 XD
For decent gaming exp, 1660 won't last 2 year and they want us to buy warrenty
@@sakshamjain7984 me with a 1660 cries
Funny thing is, I'm trying to buy extended warranty for my Alienware for more than a month, Dell support don't want to sell it to me!!!
@@remigiuszbloch what😂, why , warrenty is the only thing that dell sells
i love how the cards periodically change during the poker sense
Very good series.
The best actor in that opening was the briefcase voice.
@@ShaydTheDragon def Riley.

@@neo6827 No dude… Just no...
Mr. Riley Murdock everyone for that awesome recorded voice. :)
@@neo6827 God I wish
I can tell you this much, Dell probably DID in fact use the secret shopper videos as a training video to change their practices, but whatever call center they outsource their sales to probably is pushing their reps to sell as much as possible and punishes them for not doing so.
it's not that they're punishing them for not selling much per se, it's that they work on provision (get payed based on their sales)
@@mithshude The word you're looking for is "commission", and it's likely to be both. Managers where are only interested in the bottom line for their bonus and a employees pushed to the point they will scrape any scrap of money available for their own salary too.
As long as they use call centers in India, whatever training video they use internally will not change a god damned thing.
@@mithshude to be fair, Ive been at multiple jobs that will absolutely destroy your hours and whatnot for not reaching sales goals. Sure, they may make commission, but normally it’s in the form of a bonus at a non-retail location, so that commission is cut in half and terrible lol companies, especially in the call-center service, are more than willing to punish you instead of assigning you to a different task (which would make both their sales-per-hour increase, and your job more inclined to you). It fucking sucks, straight up especially if your job is expecting you to do extra curricular research and not get paid for it just to make the sales they’re forcing you to
@@mithshude when a sales rep loses most of their pay check if they don’t upsell a customer, they’re being punished
Please do another of these!
Please do another secret shopper. I can't explain why, but they make for such great entertainment.
For the Dell customer service one, Sarah basically said:
"no"
"no"
"no"
"no"
"no"
"no"
"no"
"no"
"no"
"Remember guys, when she says 'no', she means 'yes' " - Dell's support training staff
And in the end, Dell said "yes"
As an IT guy and used to work customer care, I feel the pain in my soul with these calls
I want to know why they blocked Sarah's cleavage out with a stupid overlay, it was really annoying.
@@asswhole4195 For one, creepy. Two, there was a laptop in front of her, they just blocked the laptop because it was a Dell.
