A reciept is the companies safety net. It is the customers responsiblity to read this reciept and understand the company's policy. Refund and exchange policies are stated on the reciept. 

If I had an angry customer, I would firstly apologise for any inconvience and i would empathize with their situation. I would then calmy explain the company's policy on refunds and exchanges. I would offer to exchange the product or give them store credit to try and keep the customer returning to the store. 

Never argue with the customer, never tell them they are wrong, remain calm and professional.

Politeness and efficiency must control your behavior, to manage this situation as much as possible

 

  • Control yourself and do not get angry
  • Use reason and logic when convincing a client
  • Provide the appropriate climate and calm atmosphere to listen and get rid of distractions thinking
  • Do not ignore the client's feelings
  • Try to understand the customer's feeling
  • Make him sit down: he will speak in a low voice. Take him into account, he calms down
  • Let the customer say everything he has, so that he can calm down and be ready to listen to you
  • Spoke in a quiet voice
  • Deliberately reduce the tone of your voice, because the higher the tone of your voice the more angry
  • Be attentive to the customer and listen to him if you want him to listen to you
  • Do not interrupt the customer and give him enough opportunity to say whatever he wants to express
  • Make the message clear so as not to leave room for misunderstanding by presenting points in a logical and convincing way
  • Let your words be brief and at the core without exaggeration or lengthening
  • Use educational means when persuading
  • Beware of rushing to comment
  • Use a barter tactic
  • Explain quickly
  • Suggest a solution based on what is possible and at your level of your decision.
  • Search with the customer for a shared solution
  • Be agreed with him on the chosen solution
  • Conclusion of the agreement in a friendly manner: always necessary

First, i would make sure the client calms down and well collceted by listening to his/her concerns without interruption. Then in a calm manner, i will professionally explain to the client the company policy is stated on the receipt which i have no right to counter.

However, client is the king and should be accorded the best treatment whenever need arises.I can either offer them exhange for other items or provide them store credit to maintain customer retention.

Always resort to a win-win solution.

First and foremost, I will acknowledge the customer's problem. I will inform the customer of the company's policy and engage him/her that once he bought or purchase a product from the company, that he is under or accepted the terms and conditions. I will empathise and apologize for whatever he might not had understood. Once the customer fully acknowledge the policy, then on that time will I inform him that there will no refunds that will be provided. Once again, I will apologise and inform him/her, about thing or process to avoid the same mistake.

As an Ambassador for my Brand, I would firstly apologise for any inconvenience and i would empathize with the customer, and in a calm manner explain that i understand the predicament, however at the same time elaborate on the company's policy on refunds and exchanges.

I would then evaluate  the cost implication to the customer and negotiate a win win, by offering an instore credit or similar compensation, as to ensure that we retain a happy customer.
