Problem Solving question - An angry customer has just complained. You:

  1. Ask him to explain why he is upset.
  2. Ask him how he would like the problem resolved.
  3. Call your manager over to help him.
  4. Listen to him.
  5. Calmly explain to him that he isn’t correct.

  1. Listen to him. Choose words carefully to make sure you have understood what has been said. Repeat back what you gathered. Ask if what you stated was accurate. If there is an agreement then proceed by using tactful questioning techniques to determine what happened and work to resolve the matter within your range of authority. As an active listener with a courteous friendly tone you constructively engage the customer in a way his concern is resolved by taking the appropriate steps. Using good judgment allows you to call your manager. The company bottom line to build loyal client relationships. We want our customers to know they are appreciated.

Always listen and fix the issue as soon as possible! Always leave a angry customer smiling. UNLESS the customer is just blantenly being rude. Establishments are allowed to deny customers, customers are not always right. I'll rather have my employees treated with respect than disrespect for a profit.

Since you say that he has just complained, then that means that he has already told you why he is upset. So my next step would be to ask him how he would like the issue resolved if it is not already obvious from what he has already said. At each step, listening is crucial. Depending on the situation, and my level of authority, I would either resolve the matter myself, or find a manager that could.

I would listen to his problem, and according to Co. Rules, I will help him, her, to the best of my ability. If that isn't satisfactory, I will call for the Manager to help assisst with the customer's problem, and will be tactfull and pleasant with them and wish them a very nice day, and invite them back with a smile.
