Handling Upset Customers, Part 4

Today we wrap up our series on turning upset, frustrated customers into Excited, Loyal, Lifetime Customers.

Remember, customers are upset because of poor communication, time, &/or money.

Keys to overcoming your customer’s frustration:

  1. Attitude
  2. Active Listening
  3. Asking Good Questions
  4. Empathy
  5. Reassure

Today, we’re going to talk about the importance of Reassuring your customers. (For a deep dive into any of the keys, go to the training in the Excellence Roadmap.)

Reassure lets your customer know you’ve got their back.
It says: “I’m going to take care of you.

You also need to game plan. You need to give your customer a vision for how you are going to turn the situation around.

You need to constantly communicate. If you don’t keep you buyer up to date on the game plan, they will become frustrated again. Part of the game plan is to set proper expectations for time, communication, and follow up.

Delivery is the time to set the stage for an Excited, Loyal, Lifetime Customer. At delivery, cement the relationship. Ask for “Perfect 10s” on the customer survey.

Serving every buyer with excellence will turn upset, frustrated customers into
Excited, Loyal, Lifetime Customers.

Good Selling!
