How to handle a dissatisfied customer.

6 Answers

Focus, listen and take notes of the actual issues. Read back to the customer to confirm you gave it right. Ask for “Is there anything else?” Keep writing until customer runs out of complaints, calms down, and feels heard and usually is now tired. Ask Customer how he/ she feels the situation should be resolved. Repeat back. Tell Cudtomer your range of authority to be able to approve what they want done. If I can do it and it’s reasonsble. I do it and do something extra asking if the extra thing would be valued. ( like 20% off next purchase) 2. If I can’t do what he/ she wants done, I explain why and come as close as possible. Get agreement and understanding. If he/ she doesn’t agree, offer to escalate to higher level - and point out time delay for hearing back and may not get a better resolution. Bottom line, when possible I try to provide a value added additional at 33% higher than expectation. Why - because bad news travels very fast. Great news goes viral these days. Yelp and other review sites can make a difference. At Harbor Freight Going the extra mile doesn’t have to be a high cost. One store had a guy come out from warehouse and assemble a replacement item because first box had missing parts. He saved me so much time and buying extra tools. That was four years ago. Do you know how many people I’ve told and repeated to and why I shop Harbor Freight? 15 minutes of effort and I bet I’ve brought the store thousands in sales. Less

Hello, thanks for taking the time to leave a review as we appreciate feedback from all our candidates. Firstly we apologise for the negative experience you’ve had with our recruitment process. There has been a miscommunication regarding the nature of the phone call, it should not have been called an interview as it’s more of a discussion about your expectations for employment. We have passed this feedback on to our Recruitment team and have updated our guidelines to be more clear about the intentions of our phone calls in future. Less

Hi! I think you’ve missed my point a little there. I understand that it was a screening call but you made an appointment. I made sure that my child is away during this time so I can speak in peace. If you agree a time you either make the call or you cancel. What your employee has done is disrespectful. The nature of the call is beside the point. Less

And the fact he did it twice. Shocking.

Learn from their experiences and make sure not to commit those mistakes. I’d love be around people who are more experienced than a newbie as I will learn a lot from them. Less

You need to insure that you do everything required but not dominate tenured agents....initially we should push for nothing more than acceptance and mutual respect. Less

What is something your company did that you disagreed with?

3 Answers

Perhaps it was to have a boss who could not differentiate the treatment of the house with the obligations of the one in the office. You have to differentiate, because you can not come with a problem at home and have a sour face and treat it badly, or do not treat people in the office. Less

This, as I see it, is a private interview, in which you intervene indirectly asking me, which is what I did not like in such a situation. Less

When they say there will be no special treatment for former employees with outstanding performance. Less
