This can result in stronger customer loyalty than if the problem had never occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Some research supports Schulze\u2019s assertion that resolving a customer\u2019s complaint can make them more loyal than if their experience was flawless\u2014at least in the hotel business. Researchers at Marriott found that when their guests had no issues with their stay, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/how-customer-complaints-can-improve-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">89% said they would return to Marriott<\/a>. When guests had issues that the hotel fixed, 94% said they would return.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schulze says that when a customer has a complaint about your product or service, <strong>what they want more than anything else is to see that your company cares about the problems they\u2019re facing.<\/strong> Employees should actively listen to the customer\u2019s complaint and validate their emotions. Conversely, they should avoid using dismissive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/body-language-crucial-conversations\/\">body language<\/a>, speaking in an unsympathetic tone of voice, or downplaying the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/rework\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Rework<\/em><\/a>, Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson elaborate on how to offer customers a genuine apology when your service is flawed. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/rework\/chapter-10#principle-2-make-your-apologies-effective\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Don\u2019t be overly formal<\/a> when apologizing\u2014say \u201cI\u2019m sorry\u201d rather than something like \u201cI apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.\u201d An overly formal tone makes it sound like your apology is an obligation and you don\u2019t really care about their problem. Additionally, the word \u201cmay\u201d implies that you doubt that there really was an inconvenience, and customers may interpret it as you invalidating their problem and feelings.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a broader scale, Schulze notes that <strong>employees should analyze customer problems to uncover their true, often multi-layered root causes<\/strong>\u2014even if the initial cause seems obvious on the surface. For example, imagine a restaurant customer complains that their food took too long to arrive. Instead of just blaming the cooks for taking too long, employees should investigate deeper\u2014was it an issue with the kitchen being understaffed or undertrained? Or, perhaps the kitchen is organized in a suboptimal way, forcing the cooks to spend time moving from station to station?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/upstream\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Upstream<\/em><\/a>, Dan Heath explains that many workers fail to resolve the root causes of their problems because <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/upstream#reactive-solutions-are-more-tangible\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">immediate, shallow solutions are more tangible<\/a>. They pay off immediately, as opposed to an investigation into root causes that might uncover more ambiguous causes that are more difficult or time-consuming to resolve. Additionally, when problems exist for long enough, workers typically <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/upstream#communities-normalize-widespread-problems\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">get used to the situation<\/a> and forget that they can try to fix it.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do you handle customer complaints?
