Lidar com clientes chateados é uma arte que praticamos diariamente na Zoppy. O que tenho aprendido: Escuta ativa é tudo. Às vezes, o cliente só quer ser ouvido. Reconhecer o sentimento antes da solução. "Entendo sua frustração" faz maravilhas. Ser transparente sobre os próximos passos. Clientes apreciam saber o que esperar. Seguimento é crucial. Um "check-in" pós-resolução mostra que nos importamos de verdade. A lição mais valiosa? Empatia não é inimiga da eficiência. Na verdade, ela frequentemente acelera a resolução.

When in a tough situation, it's imperative to stay calm and not take it personally. The key is to listen actively without interrupting and to ask clarifying questions and paraphrase back to ensure they are understanding the root of the issue. Some other steps to keep in mind are: Validate the customer feeling/complaint Apologize if it is warranted Offer a solution, but be flexible if the customer wants a compromise to meet a different need Set realistic expectations for the outcome Follow up/through to close the loop Also, remember, you can escalate things if the situation, or customer, needs it. Sometimes, customers just want the validation of a hearing from a higher title.

In my experience: you have to let the client express his feelings. Being attentive, implies an active listening to detect what may be the origin of his discomfort, once he gives you a chance to talk, you could ask questions to let him know that you were listening and based on that suggest alternatives for a possible solution//Segun mi experiencia: hay que dejar que el cliente exprese sus sentimientos. Estar atento, implica una escucha activa para detectar cual puede ser el origen de su malestar, una vez, te da pie para hablar, se podria hacer preguntas para que sepa que estuviste escuchando y en base a ello sugerirle alternativas para una posible solucion.
