Lack of accountability

The sales team will say anything to get you to sign up and then will ignore you messages after that. I was signing up and along the way, it was admitted that an error occurred internally where someone forgot to action my renewal. Since then, I have managed to speak to one junior person in the team who openly admitted the issue, however blames management for a lack of outcome. Meanwhile my tariff has switched over to variable and now getting extraordinary bills. This has been the case for over 3 months and still no response, despite numerous e-mails and when calling, you get bounces around from team to team.

An advisor who listened to our request!

Initial experience, which we weren't asked to rate, was appalling. Quickly remedied by an "advisor" who was an extremely polite, enthusiastic, knowledgeable young man - and one who actually listened to our request for assistance. The ability to listen was sadly lacking in previous calls to smartestenergy and had completely wasted our time.

Jamie Lee is a star!

I finally found a really helpful couple of people at Smartest Energy. Jamie Lee in particular has managed to get the ball rolling on an issue that has been going on for 5 months, resulting in me not being billed for that time.
Hopefully we can now get this sorted.
Meanwhile I have just signed a new contract and it must be said the price is excellent. Thank you Jonathan for that.
Onward and upward

Great Customer Service

I have been dealing with Charles regarding a 4th business electricity contract and I have to say, the customer service received from him has been excellent thus far. He has exceeded my expectations and worked quickly and efficiently to make sure we have what we need correctly and in a timely manner.

Wendy was very helpful

Wendy was very helpful, knowledgeable and patient. More of yr cust service reps should be like her. Most importantly she took action (that I had been trying to action for months). I made more progress in 20 mins then I made in months.

Breath of fresh air in business utility provision

Excellent phone manner, call centres based in UK with knowledgeable staff, smart on-line processes refreshing and excellent experience in comparision to other business utility providers - their rates are also the most competitive on the market by quite some way with a variety of tariffs from ones with zero standing charge tariff and a blend of low SC charge and lower kWh rate
