Have been posting about shortage to nearly dire situation of appliance repair persons for some time now.
Miele North America (in particular USA) cannot find enough persons for love nor money apparently. Going by some reviews of appliance repairs the technicians either were out of their depth or otherwise couldn't cope. Besides having necessary technical and educational aptitude there is a "people person" skill set as well. Either when booking call out and or upon arriving a repair person/service must know how to deal with all sorts of persons in all types of homes. | ||

People Person
Excellent point, about being a "people person." Perhaps this trait is more likely in someone who is self-employed, rather than in an employee. I used to go on calls with my father in our business (self-proprietorship); often the conversation with the customer was longer than the time for the repair. My father would take me on calls when I was as young as 4. I have saved all of the store receipts, going back to the 1950s. I am amazed at how many customers my father had.
Perhaps this is a lost art. | ||
