A Complaint Is a Gift – 5 Simple Tips on Winning Back Your Customers Painlessly.

 

Not all unhappy customers complain, but when they do, you should take that as an opportunity to put things right and repair the relationship. Customer complaints are valuable pieces of feedback that can be used to improve our products and services.

 

When they do, use words to convey positive emotions

 

When responding to a complaint, you need to come across as being sincere. The tone being used is particularly important. Without the benefit of body language and tone of voice, you can only rely on your words to convey your intended tone. It is therefore important to know the implication of various words and phrases, and choose to use words that convey positive emotions.

  • Adopting a positive and a long term relationship approach towards the complainant
  • Taking ownership of the issue and providing solutions
  • Engaging with clarity, sincerely and purpose
  • Responding with empathy and deep engagement.
  • Step by Step guide to key actions and remedy to be taken
