Slide20Discussion!
What do you think you should do when a customer is unhappy and complains?
Slide21Use the H.E.A.T. Method
Use the H.E.A.T. method for handling challenging situations when customers are upset. H.E.A.T. is an acronym that stands for:Hear them outEmpathizeApologizeTake responsibility for action
Slide22Why use H.E.A.T.?
When emotionally upset, people are not likely to understand a logical explanation of why something occurred or why something can't be done. They definitely don't want someone arguing with them. What they want is someone to listen to and to acknowledge their upset feelings. If they perceive that you are honestly trying to understand the situation and how they are feeling, a potentially tense situation is usually diffused.
If they don't feel understood or cared about, the situation can easily escalate.
Slide23How H.E.A.T. Works
After patiently listening (Hear them out), you could say “I can see you are very concerned about this (Empathy). I am sorry this happened (Apologize). Let me check and see what I can find out (Take Action).”Or, you could say “I know it is frustrating to have to wait (Empathy). I apologize for the delay.
(Apology). We're working hard to get you finished as soon as possible. Would you like something to drink (Take Action)?”
Slide24Do’s
SMILE!Be presentable (clean, smelling good, and professional looking)Figure out needs of the customerMake customers feel importantCUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT- even when they are wrong. Do not argue, yell, or fight with the customer.
Apologize when things go wrong & thank customer’s for their understanding and patience
Be a team player- help out when you can & pick up the slack when needed.
Slide25Don'ts
Don’t rush. Make the customer feel like they are the only one that mattersDo not talk with co-workers when customers are around. Stay busy and keep the business cleanLeave all technology away from business areas. Out of site- out of mind!
Don’t forget that some companies record customer service telephone calls between employee and customer
