I rang the Nationwide Building Society yesterday over a loan that has come to an end. Staci, on the other end of the line was very pleasant but extremely persistent in trying to get me to sign up to other Nationwide products. She went through the whole gamut from home insurance, boiler insurance, water pipes through to further loans and credit cards. I told her that she could have full marks for trying her best but unfortunately had picked to wrong target. I like to look at financial matters in the Sunday papers and Nationwide don't even figure as a place to either put your money or borrow from. I couldn't blame young Staci for trying, and told her that I was sorry she wouldn't get a bonus from selling me a product, but she assured me that Nationwide didn't reward it's telesales staff with bonuses - hmmmm.....
