Bulb vendors ignore sales policy

Light bulb salesmen who have been calling fraternities here using pressure sales methods did not conform to their company's approved practices, Jack Rogers, customer service representative for Liberty Industries Supply Company (LISCO). Tustin, California, said yesterday.
Fraternities that have been contacted by the salesmen were offered a free gold or silver digital watch because, they were told, they had been customers in past years.
Rogers said LISCO did send free watches to customers, but he said the company did not approve of some of the salesmen's canvassing methods, which prompted fraternities to complain to the Consumer Affairs Association here.
ROGERS SAID that because of the complaints, he was concerned that
fraternity members might have been getting bad impressions of the company.
"Our records are open to anyone who wants to see them." Rogers said.
Fraternity members had complained in the past week that salesmen from LISCO had called them and, in some cases, would only identify themselves by first name. It also was reported that the team had said that the fraternity had been good company even though the fraternity members said they had never heard of LISCO.
In some cases, fraternity spokesmen said they had placed orders because salesmen led them to believe that their houses had bought bulbs from the salesmen before.
Rogers said the watches had been offered to the fraternities that had been good customers in past years, regardless of any change in house managers.
ROGERS SAID that because fraternity house managers usually changed every year, this year's house managers might have added that previous orders had been placed.
"We're dealing with different people every time," Rogers said.
One house manager said he had been offered a television if he would buy a large shipment of bulbs, but Rogers said he had not heard of any offers other than watches.
The bulbs are more expensive than most retail bulbs because they are of industrial quality and will last longer than standard bulbs. Rogers said.
He said it was possible, however, that the salesmen had misled the fraternity members or even that the salesmen had turned in bills that bells that the fraternities had not requested.
"You have some that lie and some that
don't. Rogers said. He also said that
some had been wrong about the data."
Rogers said that to help protect customers, the shipping or billing department would call each fraternity to verify that an order had been placed.
