anger management and dealing with clients.
The best way is to listen to the customer and never interrupt them while they are expressing their complain. Apologize and give the assurance that this will be taken seriously. If to the extent that the customer require or requests for the higher manager's presence then give him the opportunity but make sure that you will pass the full story to the manager to avoid letting the customer repeat themselves because this will make them more upset (like opening the wound again and again).
When I am dealing with such customer, I keep one thing in mind that I am the face for the company for that customer and he has every right to feel the way he is if he is mistreated or mislead , so would allow him/her to vent out completely and then reason him with apology and empathy and will address his/her issue immediately by providing correct resolution.
I would deal with them first by saying an apology on behalf of the company. Then I would talk to them wholeheartedly about their complaint/s. I would listen to everything they have to say and after that I would explain the company's side. Most importantly I would talk to angry customers with a low but still dignified tone. Because we should always remember that is them who keep our company running.
