Let’s Finish our Calling Campaign Strong!

We’re halfway through our calling campaign (5/4 and 5/5) where we’re contacting Coca-Cola (800.GET.COKE) and asking for TaB back!

Let’s make sure we finish strong tomorrow with LOTS of phone calls.

A few important notes to share about the event so far:

1. First off, THANK YOU to every single one of you who made a phone call. And EXTRA thanks to those of you who made multiple calls (you know who you are, and so do we :))
2. Secondly, if you made a call, and didn’t fill out our form–please make sure you do. It helps us understand how many calls were made, and it also gets you a chance to win a prize! (If you don’t want a chance to win the prize, please still fill out the form. You don’t have to share your contact details. Just tell us your first name, when you called, and what happened on the call).
3. This is probably the most important note. We really need to see more participation if we want to make a difference and change minds at Coca-Cola. We were asking for hundreds of calls–and so far, based on the number of folks who submitted our form–we have fallen short of our goal. But there’s still time–we have ONE MORE DAY left!
   • If you want TaB back, (and we know you do if you’re following along here), you need to take a few moments to make a phone call. It takes less than 2 minutes. Don’t count on someone else doing the work. Each one of us must make an effort. We’ll all be able to share in the success if we can change Coca-Cola’s mind on TaB–but if we don’t work together (this is truly a group effort), we’ll have a hard time making a difference.
4. We LOVED reading your updates from your phone calls. Here’s a sampling of what a few of you said happened on your calls.
   • I spoke with a nice young man, by the name of Sterling, who indicated he would pass my comments along to the quality assurance team. He asked if I would like to submit my name, ZIP Code, email, or any other specific comments or contact information. The call lasted maybe two minutes.
   • I spoke to Tiffany and asked that Coke bring back TaB, that I drank TaB for over 50 years and I really miss it. She said she’d pass the comment along.
   • Had to wait a very long time to speak to an agent. I think the Coca-Cola Company was not ready for an onslaught of calls!
   • I told the young lady after waiting on the line for quite a while that I was literally at the Atlanta airport (waiting on a friend) thinking about how Atlanta as the home of Coca-Cola just might consider bringing back the drink of choice for many TABaholics across the country!
   • After telling the young man I sure would like to see the Coke Company bring back TaB – he replied, “Oh yes! You have definitely called the right place. We care about our customers!”
   • The operator took my request and was very polite. I suggested that if they didn’t want market it all the time why don’t they sell it via soda stream? Or sell it twice a year so we can stock up?

Let’s make Friday 5/5 (tomorrow) the day that TaB soda becomes the proverbial big topic at the water cooler in the Coca-Cola contact center!

Fill out the form so we can track the calls made AND for a chance to win a prize.
