“ CUSTOMER ALWAYS RIGHT”
In times of complaints the salesperson/ staff is often caught in the middle, between the
customer and the company.

company.
This has to done in a fair way to both companies/ customer solve this separately.

Staff/ Sales people honor all claims (except fraudulent ones ) and see that CUSTOMER IS
SATISFIED

when s/he is wrong.

21. Then What To Do……
Don’t take it personally.
Usually it’s the company that
they are angry with.
They my have had difficulty
getting through to you or may
have had previous enquiries
mishandled.
Take notes and check these
back with the customer to
demonstrate clearly that you
are paying attention and
treating the matter seriously.
Try to keep a calm tone of
voice, but if abuse persists
pass the call to your
supervisor.
If possible, avoid transferring
the call or putting on hold.
As far as the customer is
concerned, you are the
company.
They don’t know you as the
nice person your family and
friends are familiar with.
Give the customers space to
let off steam before you to
steer them towards a
discussion of the facts.
They are probably more
anxious/restless/uneasy
about the situation than you
are.
Get someone to call the
customer back promptly. Put
come back on the hold line at
thirty seconds intervals
To reassure the customer.
