Question 1
When employees are dealing with a chronic complainer (the "customer from hell"), it is important to:
◦ accept their interpretation of the problems without questioning it.
◦ repeatedly apologize.
◦ force the customer to pose a solution, especially if he or she does not like yours.
◦ All of the above.
Question 2
The following are human relations principles that convey appropriate tone to customers:
◦ express ideas in ways that convey "what's in it for me" to customers.
◦ be aggressive in phrasing in order to convey the importance of your message.
◦ use I-centered phrasing to be sure they understand you.
◦ talk to people as groups, not as individuals to avoid offending.
