Here's how you can effectively handle complex customer issues using logical reasoning.

Well, Usually handling an angry customer depends on the situation and on his or her character however it's all about making him or her to feel she or he has been served as they were expecting which means these things : been listened, been served and lastly been convinced about your solution for there concern.

Always and always let the customer speak and finish venting the issue and let the anger be vented out. You should communicate with verbal or non verbal acknowledgements, then express empathy and tenter into a dialogue with the customer to find a solution to the issue.

This is true no matter the age of the customer you are working with (never "dealing" with). I found that eye contact, when appropriate, helps.

Active listening is called for here. This is because,people's communication is deeper than what you can hear, but cannot be expressed if the choice of words are not specific sometimes. So, dig deep into the what is being said or the complaint so that you can hear the real problem.

When customers or team members feel heard and understood, it builds trust and strengthens the relationship. This can improve team morale and customer retention. Active listening also helps to reduce miscommunication and clarify information which can prevent conflicts and error, minimizing risk.

Things I have found helpful are listening to what the customer is saying and then what are they asking of you. I always ask questions to see if I am understanding where the customer is going with our conversation. Most times they want the customer service team to correct the error they have made.

When breaking down the problem, it is important to keep the forum open for customer feedback. They may not agree with how you are breaking it down and would like to collaborate more.

What I have found useful is reviewing the process with the customer. Customers don't always care about the steps needed to give them the outcome they desire. But they do need to understand what got them to the spot they are at so that they don't repeat it. Customers still feel they are right and you are wrong. Our job to go guide them not to place blame but to learn from mistakes and then teach them how easy the process is and how they can get there in the future.

This is a critical point when managing difficult case / customer. While we may have ample solutions to offer, however it is critical that we select the solution that addresses the root cause of the problem effectively and aligns with company policies and customer satisfaction goals.

This is step number one. Create the solution to the problem before you present it. Being able to clearly communicate a solution to whatever issues come up is a huge differentiator. Everyone can do things when they are easy. Find the partners that aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and make a deal Work. 💪

Using simple language should not always mean speaking slowly when communicating over a verbal medium. This could unintentionally shame the customer as they perceive you speaking down to them.

I have found when looking up a customers account information (while waiting) that I have an opportunity to let them know for future reference key comments for a greater outcome. I explain what our website offers, and how easy it is to maneuver. Most times they are very thankful I took the extra time to educate them. I also follow up with "is there anything else I can help you with".

Most of the times we generally miss out on follow up assuming issue is now fixed / addressed. Hence, it is imperative that after implementation, we must follow up with the customer to ensure the issue has been resolved satisfactorily. Ask for feedback to improve service in the future.

If you say you are going to follow up, follow up. If a customer still feels like you could have done more than what they got, let them know they can always call back with any questions. Finally, answer your phone as much as possible, don't rely on voicemail.
