The Golden Method for Complaint Resolution 

Full Day (6.5 hours)

Don't let your customer service representatives handle another customer complaint or speak to a difficult customer until they know…
 
The Golden Method for Complaint Resolution

Do you ever find that your employees spend more money to resolve complaints than you know they should? Do they sometimes "pay a customer off" just because it's easier to " get rid of them"? Do you wish your team had more strategies and confidence to negotiate with customers?

 

Find out how to get angry customers to back down, call customers on a negotiation ploy, and resolve complaints without giving the store away.

 

 

 

I truly enjoyed the whole presentation and found it fascinating. I look forward to putting my new knowledge to work!

Our flagship workshop, this interactive, measurably effective customer service training was researched and designed for Call Center Agents, Help Desk, Front Desk, and all professionals who encounter complaints and difficult customers.

The Golden Method for Complaint Resolution is much more than basic customer service training. This program introduces the Ten Golden Rules for Complaint Resolution – a field-tested and proven strategy for resolving complaints in such a way that regains customer goodwill. We specifically designed Ten Golden Rules to help employees establish rapport and create trust with unhappy customers, make customers feel heard and understood, and most importantly, to completely restore confidence in our client’s brands.

Most of our clients report that the Ten Golden Rules dramatically reduces talk time because every point employees need to make is clearly lined out in a way that is practical, easy-to-implement, and extremely effective. 

Participants gain strategies, tactics, and psychological insights for dealing with demanding, irate, and unreasonable customers,  learn to deal with difficult customers with diplomacy and tact, say “no” without causing resentment, respond to negotiation ploys, avoid damaging admissions, and resolve problems without giving away the store.

Myra's positive attitude really makes me feel that one person can completely change another's state of being.

I appreciated all the pre-work you did to learn about McDonald's training and operational procedures. You did a great job of customizing your training to meet our specific needs. Also, it appeared as though the entire group was completely engaged and thoroughly enjoyed the training.

Added-Value Through Call Center Consultation

Myra’s call center and customer service improvement expertise goes far beyond her measurably effective training. Many of our clients take full advantage of Myra’s expertise and abundance of resources by having Myra come in before a training or stay after a training to spend time in the call center. If you’d like to work with Myra for call center analysis, she can review call center reports, hold Agent roundtables, examine processes, listen to phone calls, and provide an executive briefing on her findings. Contact Myra for more details.
