Dealing with Difficult Customers. The Anecdote I wanted to take some time to discuss and explore a topic that we all have experienced. I have over 27 years in the customer service industry, and have crossed paths with almost every type of customer personality, and felt it necessary to share different ways of approaching this specific demographic. How to deal with a difficult customer and still maintain your professionalism. Dealing with difficult customers in the customer service industry requires patience, empathy , and effective communication skills. It's important to listen carefully to their concerns, remain calm, and offer solutions with options to resolve any issue. During my career I've developed different models that have helped to remind me that as a professional my responsibility is to be the best me, that I can be, and, that regardless of the customer's disposition I am here to provide a productive resolution. The LAUGH Method, which I have relied on for many years, has been a valuable tool for me. 1. Listen: Let the customer speak and don't interrupt them. This demonstrates that you value them and concerned about their issue. 2. Acknowledge Their Position:"I understand your frustration" will go a long way in establishing the relationship between you and the customer. 3. Understand: It's nothing personal toward you. They are mad at the situation or may have some other things going on in their life. 4. Guarantee: Assure your customers that you will provide a resolution to their issue. 5. Highlight Value: Emphasize the value and benefits that your services provide them. Remember, offering solutions with options establishes you as a true Subject Matter Expert in your field, and establishing clear boundaries and setting realistic expectations for your customers is critical. Every interaction is an opportunity to turn a negative experience into a positive one. Master de-escalation techniques and always prioritize customer satisfaction.

Hello, Experience Matters From my experience in serving customers, I've found that there are times when customers may pay for a product or service they don’t fully understand in company A, especially those with limited knowledge or awareness of business products or packages. However, if Company B provides detailed explanations and clarifications about certain services and actual discounts to protect the customer from paying for something they don’t fully understand, customers may feel like they are being treated unfairly. They might compare it to Company A, wondering why Company A offers the same service without those discounts, when in reality, they are actually paying for those services directly without realizing it. This is where the value proposition between companies comes into play. In such situations, it requires intentional effort to educate customers and explain the services they are receiving from the competing company, so they realize that, in essence, both companies are offering similar value, just under different names. It’s also important to conduct market research on the competitor to provide the customer with convincing and satisfactory information. Ultimately, business is all about customers, and the hardest part of customer service is retaining them with loyalty and satisfaction. If a customer is not satisfied, they can easily switch to another company. #CustomerServiceManager #CustomerRelationshipManagement #MarketCompetition

What is customer service? It is to give the clients solutions not Problems! Many people that work in customer service Has got it all wrong ! Never start telling the clients everything that you can not do , Tell him all the wonderful things and solutions You can provide for him or her! If you work in sales and handle customers You need to build up a trust with the client In order for him to buy from you you. When a customer ask to talk with the manager or your supervisor it means you are not trustworthy , and the client want to talk with a boss. (you failed). So it is very important to be your self “shine like the sun “when you go to work If you are happy the customers are happy And this create a good vibe , and the trust Will be build and if the customer like you ,he will buy your product. Never say no yes yes yes meaning If you tell the customers all the things That you are not able to do for him , Instead of giving him solutions, “You are telling him you are are loser” Do not advertise for that , tell all your solutions , That’s what he want to hear. When people or clients ask you something The stupid answer is “I NOT KNOW!” Better to say wait sir let me check up on this And I will give you a update that’s more intelligent answer! No need to advertise that there is Something you not know! Remember customer service is not A job it is a Craft !

Customer service is an art. It's not just about answering calls or emails. It's about understanding the customer's needs, empathizing with their situation, and finding the best solution. It's about communication, patience, and problem-solving. And I've mastered this art. I've spent years honing my skills in customer service. - Listening to customers. - Understanding their needs. - Solving their problems.
