6 Steps to Handle Irate Customers

1. Listen carefully and with interest—but also try to listen to what they are “NOT” saying
2. Put yourself in your customer’s place—how would YOU feel in a similar situation
3. Ask questions and actively listen to the answers. Use closed-ended questions to elicit a yes/no, or other one-word answer because you get raw information, rather than feelings or emotions.
4. Suggest alternatives that address their concerns, and always do so with sincere empathy.
5. Apologize without laying blame for it might not be your fault.
6. Solve the problem quickly and efficiently—and your customers to vent, which will allow you to better understand their emotion and their position
