If you order exclusively through your rep, you should be able to get the best deal that's being offered to anyone else.

As people noticed correctly, this targeted for the new customers.
While the buyer not ready to pay for shipping more than for item, he / she very happy withis free shipping. Next time customer will chech RCM website and get not $2.5 pack, but $40 coin and will think that $8-10 is ok for shipping. And ..... we have new customer

I've been buying from RCM for 15 years now and have never had a rep. Don't spend enough in a year I guess.

Having a rep is not always great. I would have missed out on the MC Voyageur if I had relied on my rep because it was sold out before he notified me of it. I ordered on-line the day before his e-mail notification. He also dropped the ball initially on the Parliament MC coin though did come through in the end.

And I asked him Thursday to order the coin packs. Still have not heard from him and the order is not on my account.

The biggest problem with using a rep is it's a single point of failure. If he/she is out of the office or not responding, you may miss out. It's also inconvenient. Much easier to just order on line.

Of course the advantage is being able to order over HH limits sometimes. But alas, I'm not going to make MC this year...first time in over a decade...so bye bye ordering from the Mint. Dealers are simply a better alternative now, even with the cost of shipping.

Falling off the MC program seems to be wide spread. I am good for one more year until 2018 because of the expensive sets like the Legacy of the Penny set bought last quarter of 2016. After that I will be hard pressed to make even the lower tier of MC program. Only bought the Pysanka and the renewed 50 cents this year from the RCM.

Killing the FV program also hurt too. I am sure lots of MC members get their status by buying the FV coins. Just buying the limits will easily make you Platinum.

I buy enough to have a rep and have twice declined; if I'm spending the required $5000/year I should have the same benefits as other PP members.

My RCM rep is great.

Quick responses to any email that I send.

I have never been disappointed.

@mcshilling

I do spend enough to have a rep. I was simply addressing some who seem to not be able to get responses from their reps. I don't understand because they are on commission.

@onecad
I understand that you do not wish to deal with a rep. That is really too bad because you will get all the advance releases with your PP spend. The RCM website always sends their advance notices to me way after my rep. You don't have to talk with your rep. Emails work perfectly:))))) Just fill out the order sheet and voila, done!

I received another call from RCM offering the assistance of a rep and I've decided to give it a try to see if there's any worthwhile service provided. Here is what was listed in the email as the benefits;

The Benefits of an Account Manager

1.    More Advance Notice 
  By dealing exclusively with me, you will receive 24 hour advance notice in addition to the existing advance notice you are currently receiving.  For example: if you currently receive advance notice on Tuesday, you will now be receiving it on the Monday.  This ensures you are among the first members in your respective tier who are given the opportunity to place orders for hot, new coins thereby avoiding a missed opportunity.
 
2.    Exclusive Access To Information Regarding Hot, New Coins
         As you know, some of our coins sell-out faster than others. Given my knowledge and expertise, I am able to quickly identify which coins will be fastest to sell-out. This will give you the necessary insight to facilitate the decision-making process. 
 
3.    All Your Needs In One Place
       Managing your collection can sometimes require a bit of help. Any issues, concerns, or feedback, can all be directly handled by me to ensure consistency and grade of service. 
 
4.    My availability
       You may reach me at either my office or cell number listed in my signature. I am at the office weekdays from 9am-5pm. If calling outside these hours, please call my cell phone.  You may also send me a text message.
 
5.    FULL HD Launch Videos
       Often times our coins are not well represented by the pictures being used on the website.  This is due to the fact that the images are digitized, and are no longer a true depiction of what the coins actually look like.  I will be including full HD videos of most of our coins which will give you a true representation of them.
 
6.    Proactive SELL-OUT ALERTS!
       I will be sending you SELL-OUT ALERTS! For products recently released products which are on the verge of selling out.  This will avoid the frustration of missing out on an opportunity that was otherwise forgotten.
 
*Requirement For Service Eligibility*
       In order to qualify for the service, only 1 thing is required of you as a customer.  Simply place all your future orders through me, either by sending a quick email with your order, calling, or texting me as it is impossible for me to manage orders placed through the website.

"You may reach me at either my office........."

Onecad it would be interesting if you asked your "Account Manager" for an appointment to discuss your purchasing intentions at that "office". lol!

onecad, do you know if reps are typically the staff we might be speaking to when we call to place an order? I ask because I spoke with both a Lance and a John recently, trying to get some clarity on the 10pack cup coins and got the distinct impression from both that this order was not significant to them. They were both polite. No one has offered me the service of a rep, fyi. Wondering if as experienced salespeople (the kind who know who's just kicking tires vs. the real deal "serious buyer") reps are discerning about who they invite to be represented or just something else?
