Turn Negatives into Positives
We have all had an unsatisfied customer for one reason or another. Often, this is due to no fault of our own. Perhaps a supplier let you down, or a manufacturer changed its quality without letting you know. Regardless of the situation, we must turn these problems to our advantage.

We can accomplish this with a desire to provide service above and beyond expectations. Everyone makes mistakes, and your customers don't expect you to be perfect. They do, however, expect you to stand behind what you sell.

Do not view Customer complaints negatively. Instead, consider the complaint as an opportunity to win them over. Look at it as a chance to display your professionalism, execute at the highest level, and perform to the best of your ability. Do not be afraid to show off a little. Not negatively or obnoxiously, but show off by flexing your customer service muscles.

The customer has offered you an opportunity to demonstrate that you will come through for them. Shock them! Offer them service beyond what they expect, establish yourself as a problem solver, and your customer will be grateful for the effort and often become an even more loyal purchaser.

It isn't always possible to salvage a customer relationship. When a relationship is beyond saving, do your best not to aggravate the situation. Return the customer's money if possible. Refer the customer to another provider. Do what you can to make the customer's transition from you as painless as possible. While separation is never ideal, it is better than continuing down a path that makes no sense for you or your customer.

Make sure your customer knows how important they are to you. Quality customer service will help eliminate negative feelings and promote your brand reputation.
