Dealing With the Irate
It’s hard to keep your cool when dealing with difficult customers. After all, it’s
only human to get defensive and fight back or cave in and give them whatever they demand. However, once you bring them around, they’re
more likely to work with you to find a resolution that solves their complaint yet is fair to your organization. Your employees will learn to stay professional and not take it personally when they have to deal with difficult customers. They’ll learn that their basic
customer service skills are a first line of defense – it’s hard for customers to be mean to someone who’s being nice to them. 2009 ed.
