This course will help you manage those stressful situations and support the customer as best you can. Anger is a normal and relatively common emotion caused by a perceived hurt or provocation.

In other cases, the problem may be outside your control but you still have to deal with the impact. In this course we look at anger in a customer service situation and how to deal with it. We review the nature and causes of anger; we look at how poor customer service can cause anger and what you can do to prepare your organisation to deal with anger. We cover the warning signs for anger and present a 12 step approach to dealing with an angry customer. We cover questions and short scripts that can help you start a discussion with an angry customer, and we consider why customers might be rude.
