Graphic designers know they have to deal with all types of clients. Chances are they’ve seen it all from an active client that provides feedback to one that never has anything positive to say. It may be tough to handle difficult clients so I’ve gathered a few tips to help keep a cool head.
Important to make sure all of your employees, not just your customer service representatives, understand the way they should talk to, interact with, and problem solve for customers. Provide employee training that gives your staff the tools they need to carry good customer service through the entire customer experience.
Be Friendly : As they say, customer service starts with a smile. When you are in a face-to-face situation, a warm greeting should be the first thing your customers see and hear when they ask for help. And even when handling customer service requests via telephone, a smile can come through in your voice, so make sure you're ready to be friendly.
Be Responsive : There may be nothing worse than non-responsiveness to a customer who is trying to get help, resolve an issue, or find out more about what you're selling. It's important to respond quickly to all inquiries, even if it is only to say you are looking into the issue and will be back in touch. Some response is always better than none so the customer doesn't feel ignored.
Show Respect : Customer service can often involve emotions, so it's important to make sure you and others you have handling your customer service tasks are always courteous and respectful. Never let your own emotions overtake your desire to see your customer walk away happy.
Listen : Listening is one of the simplest secrets of customer service. Listening means hearing what your customers are saying out loud, as well as what they are communicating non-verbally. Watch for signs that they are displeased, as well as what say to you directly.
Say Thank You : Gratitude is memorable, and it can remind your customers why they shopped at your store or hired your company. Regardless of the type of business you have, saying thank you after every transaction is one of the easiest ways to start a habit of good customer service.
Ask for Feedback : You may be surprised what you learn about your customers and their needs when you ask them what they think of your business, products, and services. You can use surveys, feedback forms and questionnaires, but you can also make it a common practice to ask customers first-hand for feedback when they are completing their orders.
Share lots of information before designign anything, approve moodboards, ask for art references, ask about their competitors, their future plans, share a realistic deadline & most importantly try to do what they want. When you have all the inofrmation of project & their thought process you will get a clear idea and it helps getting less feedbacks & frustrating meetings.
First of all we have to keep calm in this situation because if we lose our confidense in the worst cases then situation might get diffiult and if dont have authority to take some action then we should discuss the superiors to resolve the cases, however it depends on cases to case basis because sometimes issues seems like big as a clients perspective but as per our individual exprince that can solve calmly.
Always greet your customer with a smile, never say him wrong. Listen to him carefully, understand his problem and make it sure to him that you are the only who can help him. Try at level your best to resolve his issue.
Difficult clients sometime don’t really know what they want because others really don’t anything about art, you just have to tell them to trust you and be open for their suggestions
If a marketer opens a review of an account, it's almost always already too late. Agency heads and account managers need to consistently review the relationship and quickly address any issues or concerns before it gets to that point.You need to discover and connect what customer life styles and how they live."If you sense something is wrong, something is wrong. "Clients don't leave because of the account, they leave because of the relationship." We can generate sales into service simply by satisfying customer needs."Relationships are important, but so is the integrity of the shop. Often it's about listening more, asking harder questions, and getting to the core of the real issue. Then focus everyone's attention on getting to great work that will give benefits to the company that will be serve.Listen carefully what customer want and expect to our service.

Each client is different and in order to deal with difficult clients, you have to be very patient and attentive to their needs. Be straightforward and don't beat around the bush. "Box out" in a positive way.
