What techniques did you use? What advice do you have to calm and win back an angry customer?
Being in the customer service industry, you always have to have the empathy so that you will more understand where your customer's frustrations are coming from. Let them feel that they are valuable customer and assure them that their concerns are being taken care of. Always be polite in answering their queries. After all, what really matters i not on what you say but how you say it. They deserve to know and be educated on how to use the products and services that they are paying.
Being in the customer service you have to understand their view point, listen first to all their concern. And at the same time we have to put in mind that customer is always right. After you have listened to the customer you have to reiterate the priorities that what you have heard from the customer perspective. This will assure that you are focused on the appropriate issues and reassure the customer that you are willing to solve their problem as much as you can. You have to apologized for the inconvenience caused and offer a follow up once the issue has been resolved.
according to my opinion if a customer angry from any product and services of an organization then he has right to speake against that product and services and CSR must listen his complaint and use soft language first he needs to calm down that customer and say sorry for inconvinience and find why customer feel not good and angery about our product /services .. is he has knowledge to use that product / service Or there is fault in our side then give proper information about that product /services and remove his complaint and makee sure that its not happen again.then give smile to customer with hand shake and say him we are here for him if thay have any problem in our product/services then contact us we remove that . thanks for usin our products /services :)
Any company has customers complaining. That is an opportunity to solve errors that can be done by people, or errors from the systems the company works with. So, the best way to deal with a angry customer is to listen what he has to say. Be empathic from the first moment and be calm all the time so that the customer can trust me. after listening carefully, ask questions to be sure the problem was fully understood and finally reformulate. If i have an immediate answer solve the issue. If not apologize and inform the customer the issue will be analyzed. Solve the issue internally and call the customer as soon as i have a solution. After some days, make a new call to the customer to check if the problem was fixed and thank him for being our customer.
Customers are always right.Apologize for what you have done.
Tell him it won't happen again.Thanks him ask him to come again.
Establish a rapport to the client, Listen to them and tell their solution be calm and attentive to them. Establish an eye contact with them and be calm, Have an alternative solution.
I had many instances where a customer was angry as he was not satisfied with the service provided or had not received the product or item that he was supposed to receive in a specific period of time. In such cases, it is very important to be calm and show empathy or sympathy (wherever required). I always put myself in the customer’s shoes and try to solve his or her queries by taking ownership. This gives a customer a feeling of comfort and assurity that his or her issues will be solved successfully. And eventually an irate customer calms down and in this way I have always managed to win the customer back.
Last night while i was in the way to home, my sales colleague called me and asked about the order of an angry customer who had already put a complaint against that my sales collegue in our head office. I said my college let me talk to the customer i will satisfy him from your side. So i called Mr. Imtiaz and with God blessed emathy skill i succeeded cooling my customer, he ended conversation with laughter and brotherhood approach.
1.Be clear about what you want to achieve. It is unlikely to be enough just to want to be rid of the angry customer (although this can be a natural response). It is usually more satisfactory (and satisfying) to set out to have the other person satisfied that their complaint has been dealt with in the best possible way.
2. Never, ever promise what you can’t deliver. It may make them feel better now, but tomorrow…
3. DO take responsibility for what you can. There is nothing more irritating than someone who says “There is nothing I can do about that… it’s company policy”
4. Validate the customer’s feelings. In their world, they have every reason to be angry. It’s OK to tell them that you can understand why they might be angry, as long as you are seen to be seeking a solution.
5. DO get as much specific information about the customer’s perception of the problem as possible. Not only does this communicate interest, it will help you in resolving the problem in a manner satisfactory to the customer.
6. Stay calm and focused on the desire to resolve the customer’s problem. When confronted with anger and aggression, the normal response is to prepare for fight or flight by producing adrenalin. If you have to, pause and take a slow breath. Do not allow the customer’s anger to provoke you.
