Legal Disputes
Telstra and Crazy John's were involved in a legal battle regarding the alleged overpayment of trailing commissions, causing Telstra to ask Crazy John's to pay over AU$21 million. After paying, Crazy John's filed a suit to demand the refund. Before the legal disputes and defection, Crazy John’s Mobile was included in the top ten list of Telstra mobile dealers.
The Crazy John’s Name
The mobile phone retail chain that goes by the name Crazy John’s today was formerly known as John Ilhan’s Mobileworld. Crazy John’s got its name from other people’s constant remark that John Ilhan is crazy for coming up the marketing idea of selling mobile phones that are worth AU$1.
The business strategy of John Ilhans that centers on the time-tested philosophy that excellent service will result to company loyalty is the reason why Crazy John’s became successful in the telecommunications industry. The Crazy John’s business has now expanded to include a contact center service that optimizes Crazy John’s customer service and a total business solutions package that features Crazy John’s mobile service.
