For years, a statistic has been widely circulated in the customer service profession. According to Lee Resources, for every client that files a complaint, 26 other consumers experienced the same experience but fled rather than complain.
The number of non-complaining customers may be more or fewer, but the point is that not all disgruntled consumers express their dissatisfaction. When people take the initiative to reach out and complain, it's because they desire you to understand that you messed up in their eyes.
Complaints are chances to improve things.
No doubt, responding to consumer complaints is difficult, but it gets much simpler if you have a complaint management plan.
An Effective Complaints Management
Complaint management is most successful when you have a precise and regular system. To guarantee consistency throughout your firm, personnel must be notified of how to deal with every phase of this procedure, from the initial acknowledgment and appraisal of it, through all the investigations and responses to the final follow-up with the client. Whereas each company's complaint management procedure may be slightly different, here are several general criteria for a good complaint management approach:
- Look into what's wrong and why.
- Recognize the issue and sympathize with the consumer (some individuals want to be heard!)
- Make things right (correct the problem and/or give something more) by following up.
- Reiterate the issue so that you and the customer are on the same page.
