Handling customer complaints 

00:00 / 00:07

Sometimes a customer will be unhappy.  An item might be faulty, or something might have gone wrong with their order.  

00:00 / 00:11

When this happens: 

01.

Let the customer explain what's happened without interrupting

02.

Say sorry for the trouble 

03.

Get help from someone else if you're not sure how to fix it

Arguing with an upset customer almost always makes things worse. Staying calm and taking the complaint seriously is what turns a bad moment into a customer who still trusts the store.
