Filomena had amazing customer service! She was very polite and respectful. She also was great at listening to my needs and offering solutions with options that had great savings. I would give her 10 stars if that was an option. If I decide to go ahead I would choose to go have her help me again. I have not had the best experience in the past with customer service reps so I would like to thank her for making this experience a good one. Kind Regards, Selena
Was an amazing ecperience to finally take a leap for change with the best offer. Excellent customer service provided and the most amazing help in detail and understanding. Very grateful for the persistence and patience. Thank you kindly
Philomena was efficient, patient and helpful. She had good data at hand to provide me with comparisons between what was offered and my current costs. She did a good job
Thanks for the call and check in. You recommended I stay with my current provider as the rates were top notch. I'll touch base again in the next 12-18 months, you made it super easy. Great friendly and confident salesperson.
Very clear and concise information. Great price comparison for saving money on our monthly bills! Thanks Issac and Glimp! I can't wait to pass these savings on to my hard working family Adding onto my review as I think this is totally unacceptable to have people call you about switching companies and you agree to change and go through the process with Glimp and then get phone calls from supposed companies BEFORE you even get the email offer from supposed companies.
