Answer to Question 1

By categorizing unreasonable customers into one of the five profiles, contact personnel are more easily able to depersonalize the conflict and handle customer complaints more objectively.
1.



Egocentric Edgar: Appeal to his ego, do not let his ego destroy yours, demonstrate your ability to solve his problem, do not talk policy
2.



Bad-Mouth Betty: Try to move her offstage, ignore her language, force the issue (hang-up/walk away), use selective agreement with some statements
3.



Hysterical Harold: Let him vent, move him offstage, take responsibility for solving the problem
4.



Dictatorial Dick: Break up his game  fulfill his request, stick with your game by being consistent with customers, tell him what you can do for him
5.









Freeloading Freda: In many cases, just give her what she wants and send her along her way; do not let the 1 of customers who take advantage dictate policy decisions for the other 99 who do not; track Freda's actions and suggest possible legal action to persuade her to take her business elsewhere; share and compare information regarding Fredas with competing firms
