It depends on how you handle the situation. The best thing I can do is to ask for a sincerest apology first for the bad experience then i will do my best to regain customers satisfaction and trust thru prompt action and effecient quality service.

No matter how good the processes, people or intentions, no business can get it right% of the time. If you’re in business, customer concerns are a fact of life. But the cost of issues that leave customers dissatisfied is huge.

 

It’s pretty clear. When customers are unhappy with the service you provide, they take their business elsewhere. And considering that it costs6-7 times more to acquire a new customer than to keep an existing one, every lost customer hurts your business even more.

 

But all is not lost. Customer concerns – if caught and addressed early – are actually opportunities to cement customer loyalty.

Nowadays and due to the social network, one bad experience for a one customer can be really harmful especially if this customer was an influencer in his community. In addition to the fact that sometimes traditional word of mouth communication can heart the business's reputation. Therefore customer service and after sales service should always be proactive and keep in touch with customers by different means like phone calls or online surveys.
