The advantage of dealing with angry clients over the phone is, you can always read from your cheat sheets or get coaching from your manager in handling them. However, there is a need to sound sincere in solving the problem and giving them the right solutions.

The disadvantage of dealing with angry clients over the phone is, interpersonal communications is always better when in person. It gives us the direct connection with our clients by interpreting their non-verbal communications, and responding to them appropriately.
