Some customers are a little annoying
The simple reality is some customers are a little annoying and frustrating. Some can’t make up their mind, Some make up their mind and then change it – perhaps more than once. Some are really hard to please, despite our best efforts; and some have the wrong information and no matter what we say, they’re convinced they’re right.
But on the whole at least, we handle these people pretty well. After all, coping with all sorts of people and helping them as best we can, is a basic part of good customer service. In many ways, it’s just part of the job.
But some customers are rude
Now for the bad news. Some customers aren’t just a little annoying and frustrating.
Some are rude. Some are racist. Some are sexist. Some lie – and sometimes straight to your face. Some are inappropriate and way too personal. Some are abusive. And the list goes on. So no, the customer isn’t always ‘right’.
So this is where I come in
I work with staff to help them develop the strategies, the skills and the confidence to handle these sorts of people – and at the same time deliver brilliant customer service.
It’s not a case of either delivering ‘brilliant customer service’ or ‘dealing with difficult customers’. You can do both through the art of diplomatic assertiveness.
