Better understanding of customer needs

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS FOR YOUR PERSONALLY?

· Good personal relationship with the guest
· Internal satisfaction

· The ability to process complaints more efficiently and effectively


“ Even if I had a problem with your company, id you do something nice to me, including something as simple as giving me a free hamburger, I will more likely to give you more of my business and tell others what a great company you are”

“ Complaints that customers bring directly to business are the most efficient and least costly way of getting information and understanding customer expectation about product and services”

DO’S AND DON’TS OF COMPLAINTS HANDLING

DO:

Listen to the guest empathetically
Treat all guests with courtesy and respect
Apologize to the guest
Trust the guest
Deal with the emotion of the guest and then with the guest’s problem
Focus solely on the guest during the complaint

DON’TS:


Do not multitask while the guest is complaining to you
Do not interrupt the guest

Do not blame your staff without finding out the entire story

AND THEN WHAT YOU GOTTA DO??

If you are uncertain about how to handle a guest complaint refer the problem to a senior member or another colleague

THINK!!!

If you know how to solve the problem but just need some time to think about it and refer to some resources, think and then respond the guest

GO!!!
