Doesn’t necessarily mean agreeing with the customer.
It means you truly understand how they feel and can meet them where they are.
It’s easy to copy a frustrated person’s tone of voice and respond immediately.
Much better if you remain calm and take a brief moment to think about their answer.
Hear them out.
Make no judgements.
Figure out how to fix it.
Keep them informed.
Don't make excuses.
This is business, not personal.
They’re angry with the product or service. Expectations were NOT met.
Taking it personally brings you down which can negatively affect your quality of work and mental well-being.
This is the MAIN outcome they look for.
Be honest if it can't be fixed.
They are NOT interested in excuses.
Keep them informed at all times of progress.
Ask m/anagement for help if needed.
