Customer Care Challenges (Includes calming the upset customer)

  

When is it appropriate for a customer service representative to draw a line and either hang-up or walk-a-way? Are there processes in place for referring a problem customer to a manager or other professional? Once things start to escalate, what can a customer care representative do to calm things down? What if a customer is threatening or intimidating? Handling the unusually difficult customer can be a challenge. This workshop is designed to help you:

  • Realize how expectations impact customer interactions.
  • Discuss customer care skills and learn from each other.
  • Understand how empathy leads to better customer interactions.
  • Identify personal “triggers” and learn how to detach from them.
