No matter how carefully you explain your position, there is one customer in a thousand who will misunderstand and take great offense?' ' bt' tfyourestablishniehtls facing art unruly customer, try to maintain a dear mental difference between you and your role. Keep in mind that the complaint ia not made against you personally, but rather against the policy, the product, or the service the customer has received. If you make the issue a personal one, you wiil become emotionally involved. That is not productive. Try to remain calm. If you continue to maintain a reasonable demeanor and a relatively quiet tone, an argumentative person will sometimes tone down accordingly. People tend to modulate their tone in kind.. Remember, just because the cus -- -- Samantha Fieldsted, Weston Goodrich, Kathy Hanberg, Megan tomer is upset, does not mean that he ia wrong. It can sometimes be a challenge to wade through the emotional message and get to the basic issues. Until you find the core of the problem, you can not resolve it. Consider taking loud or verbally abusive customers into an office or other enclosure that offers privacy where he or she can vent without disturbing other customers or employees. Once the customer is calm, then decide what can be done about the problem. Sometimes it helps to agree a little. When you ease a complainant by saying, I understand, or "If that had happened to me, I would be upset too," or even simply What can I do to help?, you are not necessarily agreeing with their position, only with their right to be angjy ifthe story is the way they say it is. Throw the ball in the customers court Ask them what they think can be done to resolve the problem. Your willingness to listen to what they want will make you appear cooperative and helpful, even if you ultimately cannot meet their expectations. While you are discussing a possible resolution, remember notto make promises you are not prepared to keep. Nothing is for a worse than not delivering on a promise designed JqplveacoimplaintXPUcan spend hours rebuilding a customers trust then lose the effort by not returning a phone coll or not havings delivery truck show up on time. And if you have to break a promise, let the customer know as soon as possible. Be prepared to offer an alternative that will still resolve the problem. To avoid confusion, have a clear understanding of what you have agreed upon with the customer. Reviewing the conversation gives both ofyou a chance tocorrect any misunderstanding and confirm what the other expects.
