Home Business And Complaining Customers

When one of your customers has something goes wrong, how do you treat them?

So let's ask the hard question:

How does your business respond when one of your customers complain?

Do you treat those who have a problem with respect and concern? Do you genuinely try to help them? - if you do, they will feel that concern.

Over the years, I've had my share of customer complaints about various things and I've learned that if I respond with courtesy and try to give them a little of my time by composing a pleasant email reply, then many times they will turn around and express their appreciation.

Try to answer a rude email with politeness. Arguing back or blame placing doesn't work here. Sure, with some people, that is mighty hard but it's especially rewarding when you get a pleasant response back.

And it's not unusual to get an apology from them - like this which came in the other day: ‘I was having a lousy day then your system messed me around and I exploded. Sorry.'

Let me tell you, it's gratifying to get that kind of response from a customer you've helped. It's nice to finish up as friends again. That gives me personal pleasure and a sense of achievement. And customer service like that can't hurt the bottom line, either.
