Customer Conversations The Difficult Customer

Discussion

- When you get frustrated, how do you express yourself? It is common to express anger? - How do you feel when someone else is angry? What do you do? - When you have an opinion that is different from the group, do you usually express it? Why or why not? - Do you prefer it when people are very direct with you or when they are less direct? Why? - What is your general perception towards time? If you are supposed to meet your friend for lunch at noon, and you are going to be 15 or 20 minutes late, what do you do? - What is your perception of americans? Important Steps Let the customer vent. Listen actively to what the customer says. Emphatize genuinely (let the customer know you care) Take ownership. Work with the customer to solve the problem.

Empathizing and taking ownership examples Empathize I understand how frustrating it can be when your internet is not working I would be so frustrated too if I had to call back three times

Taking Ownership Let me assure you that Im going to do everything I can to help you today Let me just veify your account so that we* can get this resolved as quickly as possible *Remember: always make it clear: we, not I. Thats part of taking ownership. Additional info: Newest CLEAR usb devices are plug and play, however older ones use CCM (Connection manager)
