How Do You Know If Your Credit Card Agent Is The Best?
By: David Riewe
Since you are the customer, there must be a glut of credit card agents
constantly hounding you day-in, day-out. They may try to cram all their pitches
in hour long phone call marathons or minute long infomercials and may run the
gamut of personalities from friendly to annoying, smart to eccentric. But how do
you choose the right credit agent?
Credit card agents are not just supposed to hawk credits cards. They are
supposed to act as the middle persons between you and the bank. In effect, they
should extend the services and care of the bank itself. You can tell if you
credit card agent is good if he exhibits the following characteristics.
1. Agent Has Intimate Knowledge of the Card Company - Your credit card agent
should know the ins and outs of the company he or she is promoting. Agents who
are only looking for a quick commission won’t help you much when you have
inquiries about their cards. If your agent has an intimate knowledge of the
company, you can rest easier since he or she is in a good position to guide you
in your decisions.
2. Honesty – After talking with your agent, investigate the veracity of his
claims. There are some agents who will lie and fib just to get a sale. If you
catch one of your agents giving you the glib tongue, drop communications with
him or her immediately.
3. Has Much Experience - Established credit card agents have a better chance of
helping you with your particular needs. They have had extensive experience in
dealing with their clients and are in a better position to help you out. You
should not dismiss agents who are new to the business, though. Just make sure
they are sensitive to your needs.
4. Tells Pros and Cons- Find an agent who tells you like it is. They usually
find a way to tell you the advantages and disadvantages of their product without
diminishing your enthusiasm for their card. These people will give you more
information on which to base your decisions. Thoughtful clients will want to
stick to this kind of agent.
5. Does Not Force – Have you ever had a pushy agent hound you all day long. This
is the mark of one whose only concern is his or her commission per card. If
these individuals do not look after your interests, how can you trust them to
help facilitate a good relationship with the company? If you are really
interested in their company, you may want to have that company send a different
agent.
