Handling Difficult Customers & Complaints

1024-SS-CS-102

Duration

1 Day  |  In-house at your offices or live online  |  Minimum 5 delegates

Description

Turn unhappy customers into loyal fans with a clear seven-step complaint process. Complaints are stressful when there is no plan. Most unhappy customers never say anything, so the ones who complain are giving you a chance to keep them. Delegates learn why customers complain, a seven-step resolution process, the verbal and non-verbal skills that show you care, and how to build a complaints policy, then practise in role plays with feedback.
