About " Handling Customer Complaints" topic:

When a customer contacts your company to complain about a product or service received, it can be a blessing in disguise. For every person who complains, there can be hundreds who do not bother to complain but who also spread negative comments about your company.

In situations where customer complaints occur, the complaint must be dealt with immediately and the cause of the complaint rectified. Some companies are not concerned with quality and often ignore complaints or deal with them dishonestly. Seeking customer satisfaction benefits a company in the long run. In this topic, let us discuss effective customer handling management....

1 Take Action,,
2 Treat Complaints as Challenging Opportunity Given by customer To serve the customer
Leena Pawar  |  Supported idea  "customer satisfaction is the first thing"  |  2 years ago
Amit I agree with you, the best way to handle customer complaints is to reply them as soon as possible so that they get satisfied. Once a customer is satisfied with the service it is easy to handle him. So customer satisfaction plays a vital role...
Anirban Bhattacharya  |  Added idea  "Analyse And Act"  |  2 years ago
You should not jump into action after receiving the customer complaint. The word complaint is negative. Take it as feedback and not complaint. In my opinion you should proceed in this way. 1. Receive complaint 2. Response to customer that you are...

I do not understand how can complaints reduce on warranty terms. If I buy a product with or without warranty and then I have a problem in the product, I will definitely register a complaint. The only difference is if its under warranty I do not...
Gargi Sinha  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  2 years ago
Yes this will reduce complaints because the customer is happy when he is given replacement. So he never gives complaints even though the product is not good.  Shridhar that's not true, people are more clear about guarantee and warranty. 
NITIN DEOLE  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  2 years ago
Sometimes extending Warranty coverage can be risky decision particularly new products & can lead to enormous pressure building on services people.

1 Awarding points for feedback
2 Through Informal discussions
Sujeet Vishwakarma  |  Added idea  "Make the Customers feel important..."  |  2 years ago
The customers laze off in giving feedback feeling their individual feedback has no much relevance aforth the inertia of large numbers operating in the results. Inviting them to the work, or research premises will add value to your questionnaire....
kasturirangan.r  |  Supported idea  "Through Informal discussions"  |  2 years ago
Good idea but feedback can also be had informally once in a month customer meet or quarterly or half yearly to make it formal.

Meena is right to an extent. Sales guys seek gratification in terms of payback for the efforts taken and methods applied to reach the targetted bottomline. Not that deduction takes place if the target is not achieved, but the risk of loosing a...
Jeevan Balwant  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  2 years ago
Yes ofcourse, anything paid as a reward for excellent performance is a great motivator. However incentives should be given on time and as promised otherwise in may result in the employees striking back.
Resmi Maxim  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  2 years ago
This is definitely one of the methods of keeping employees motivated, and a reinforcement. It depends on one's attitude whether to choose the option or not! Very rarely the opportunity is left unexploited and that is why incentives are widely...

Harvey Mackay, author of the New York Times #1 bestsellers 'Swim With The Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive' and 'Beware the Naked Man Who Offers You His Shirt', tells a wonderful story about a cab driver that proved this point. He was waiting in line for a ride at the airport. When a cab pulled up, the first thing Harvey noticed was that the taxi was polished to a bright shine. Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie, and freshly pressed black slacks, the cab driver jumped out and rounded the car to open the back passenger door for Harvey. He handed my friend a laminated card and said, 'I'm Wally, your driver. While I'm loading your bags in the trunk, I'd like you to read my mission sta...

A guarantee focus a company more on customers. Encourage the customers on complaints where the failure occur. It a sure way to discover cracks in your service or products and avoid customer defection. Companies should offer a guarantee so mild...

Yes it is very true. A boss without ethics, vested interested and working unprofessionally, with rash behaviour is not successful and also difficult for a subordinate to work.

If we analyse the nature of students' demand, what they want as customers are: Expert Teaching Quality Learning Resources Well-structured Courses Either Marketable Skills or a Strong Brand or even both Flexibility Fair Assessment The concept that that all learning can be made fun and easy is flawed. Although it should be interesting, the task is to teach skills. It is difficult to get away with poor quality teaching any longer. However, in the area of assessment, there is insufficient objectivity and discipline at present. There is a strong case that all assessment should be anonymous and conducted at arm’s length. WINNERS AND LOSERS There are however a number of areas of new demand which fundamentally represent good news for those in the education sector who can ride the wave in a clever way: the knowledge worker; business advice; the law; health; "edutainment"; financial planning. Not everyone can win. Among the winners   in these changing conditions are likely to be: those who...
