Do you see customer complaints as problems? Or as opportunities? No matter how hard we try, mistakes will happen. What’s important is preparing and training your team to respond appropriately. I have long recommended the 5 Step Service Recovery Process:

  1. Acknowledge the problem
  2. Apologize
  3. Fix it
  4. Have ownership of the problem
  5. Act with urgency

I recently heard an incredible story that illustrated this process. Listen to it in this week’s video!
