Helping Difficult Customers
Difficult customers are almost always initially intense.
As a result, many first-time employees get rattled and try ending the interaction as quickly as possible.
This usually leads to the customer becoming angrier.
The second step is to Empathize The guest will eventually take a breather, take this opportunity to apologise. ## Empathize by verbally acknowledging what's making him or her displeased. ## There are many factors that could be at work here, so do not take any confrontation personally.
The third step is to Clarify.
After apologizing and empathizing, repeating the guests' complaints lets them know you understand.
This shows you are concerned and understand the issue, putting you in the position of being the customer's ** advocate.**
