Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

The inductive approach is helpful in communicating disappointing news to customers. Presenting the explanation for the refusal first leads customers through the reasoning behind the decision and helps them understand the claim is unjustified by the time the refusal is presented. Tone is especially important when denying claims. Present the reasons objectively and positively without casting blame or judgment on the customer for the problem. Avoid lecturing a customer on the actions he or she should have taken to have avoided the problem. Finally, close the message with resale or sales promotional material that indicates you expect future business. Although disappointed with your decision, customers continue doing business with companies who make fair, objective decisions and communicate the reasons for those decisions in a positive, respectful manner.
