The Significance of Customer Care
All good managers want to hear about every complaint their customers have. Only when a complaint has been expressed can the appropriate corrective action be taken. Without customer complaints management often assumes that everything is okay. Yet, it is estimated that for every customer complaint received, there are at least 25 complaints that are never expressed. What are the implications of this statistic? Furthermore, a customer with a complaint is likely to tell 20-25 other customers and potential customers about his complaint. Therefore, every organization needs a procedure for resolving customer complaints.

Apologise
Phrase apologies in terms of being sorry that the customer has been disappointed. Do not state or imply that there is a fault or that service has been bad. When you apologise, MEAN IT, after all customers are VIPs.

Standards for Handling Customer Complaints (contd) Agree Gain agreement from the customer about the next course of action to be taken. Suggest only action and alternatives which are within the Motorcares policy. Where necessary get help from a supervisor. Take Action Prompt action, within organisation policy must be taken. This applies as well when that action is to get a supervisor to assist you. Nothing aggravates customers more than unnecessary delay in resolving their complaints.

People who are scared and anxious are most likely to be difficult - and may remain difficult until their problems are resolved. Anxious people can become childlike, but treating them like children will encourage them to act like a child, whilst treating them like responsible adults will encourage them to act rationally
