First of all listen to your customer carefully and try to give them atleast resolution time don't leave them without any given timelines or in vague situation

The first and foremost question one needs to ask themselves when answering a question like this, is why was the customer unhappy, in the first place? Is it because of the service experienced or the quality of the product which he or she has purchased?

Understanding this core reason should be the base of the resolution.

 

Furthermore, we need to understand the customer. People are individual in how they are and how they express themselves. Sometimes, a simply, I AM SORRY, will be enough for a customer to accept, however, in other instances, a customer will want a more detailed solution, such as a refund, or having a manager or senior business colleague speak with them.

 

Let us also keep in mind the two types of customers, I.E. face to face customers and callers, with the former being able to disrupt the business with other patrons present. Although, with that said, Social media is always flowing with complaints and has a mass public reach.

 

Whatever the situation may be, we need to ensure the customer is appropriately spoken with and their challenge, promptly resolved. Remember, the cost of acquiring a new customer is much more then keeping an existing customer. The key message here, is HELP THE CUSTOMER FIRST, AND THEN WORRY ABOUT THE BACK END, INTERNALLY DYNAMICS OF THE SOLUTION.

own issue , and you must put yourself on customer shoes and try to act according to that.
