We have 15 of the industry’s leading HRIS HRMS vendors listed on CompareHRIS.com. I believe we offer a great mix of companies offering solutions for every target market, budget and desired functionality.
There are a handful of additional vendors, however, that we are actively looking at adding to the site. These additional vendors represent well known names in the HR software industries. Our visitors are eager to compare these systems with the other products on the market. In fact, I’m frequently asked by our visitors why these vendors aren’t on CompareHRIS.com. They’re users who access our site looking to replace their products and representatives, yet their products are still not listed.
So, if these vendors are so important, why are they not on the site? The truth is they just won’t return my phone call. Seriously, I wish I could tell you something more exciting but that’s it. Being a creative guy, I have tried other approaches. I have tried to contact them using Linkedin, I’ve talked to sales reps for those companies, and I’ve sent emails. I traveled all the way to Chicago from Tampa last year for the HR Tech Show to meet these guys face to face. I got cards but no returned calls when I got back. Pretty disappointing considering the $40 a night parking fee I was hit with by my hotel while I was there. I will be following those guys to New Orleans for the SHRM show next. Now I’m calling them out with the blog. ADP and Workday, call me.
I might start a David Letterman and Oprah thing where each month with each newsletter and the blog I could show a running total of the days without a returned call. The total is around 200 days for each of the companies right now. I try to call them at least once a month, just in case they miss the sound of my voice. Maybe I should try a singing voice mail. I have a horrible voice so perhaps they would return my call just so they don’t have to listen to anymore messages. Maybe I could try Michael Scott’s (The Office) idea and send a gift basket but then go take it back if they don’t call me. I love that show. Anyone got any better ideas?
ADP and Workday, at least return my call and hear what I have to say. If you don’t like what we offer, me, or the sound of my voice, I won’t mention your name again on the blog, leave another email or voice mail. I don’t need any additional vendors to survive but at this point I see getting a return call from you guys as a challenge. Until now, you have had no idea what persistent is. Wouldn’t it be easier to just pick up the phone and call me? It’s not like I’m selling time shares or shoes or something. My visitors and I would like to see you guys on the site. For me, for them, and for all of humanity, call me.
Our number is 727-596-6088 or you can email us at D.Scroggin@compareHRIS.com.
