How can you resolve a customer conflict over your warranty policy?

Speak directly to the customer by phone and then confirm what was discussed in an email after explaining what the policy covers and what it does not. Talk to the customer as you would like to be spoken to and handle the issue with care and consideration. Finally once these steps have been completed explain that you will confirm what has been discussed and that you will come back to the customer (agree a suitable time frame) with a proposal for a solution.

1. Brainstorm possible solutions. 2.Show empathy and understanding towards the customer's grievance. 3.If the customer's request falls outside the scope of the warranty policy, try to find a compromise that satisfies both parties. 4.If there's any confusion or misunderstanding about the warranty terms, take the time to explain them clearly to customer. 5.Make sure you understand warranty policy about what is covered and any limitations or exclusions that may apply. 6.If you're unable to resolve the conflict satisfactorily at your level, escalate the issue to a higher authority within your organization. 7.Use the feedback from the customer conflict to identify areas for improvement in your warranty policy. 8.Follow up with the customer.

First, determine the specific problem or customer disappointment. This usually needs to be done with the customer directly and not through an intermediary. Explain the policy and what is (and isn't) covered. Ask the client what they believe will resolve the issue (without promising that will be the final solution). Offer solutions that can mediate the issue. Keep in mind the larger customer relationship, as well as the relationship with key project stakeholders, to ensure the ultimate solution will have a positive long-term effect.

Get all the facts and make the right decision for the customer and the company. Make sure you really listen!! Companies are to trigger happy to tell the customer it's their issue, but it might not be. Always remember the customer has many choice and you might lose them over something that could of been prevented.

Showing empathy to the customer and understanding the customers issue is the first step before you try to resolving it. Ask relevant questions with regard to date of purchase, nature of complaint etc. Do not give a solution for the heck of responding, instead take sometime to understand and return the call promptly with the solution.

Just after listening to the customer issue, explain politely how the issue can be resolved within the purview of the warranty policy. If there is a conflict, explain how the issue is outside the warranty policy but you are keen on getting it resolved at a cost if any.

If you say you will get back to someone. Always agree a time and method and ensure your workflow management system allows prompts for this. It is crucial that this workflow can move across shift patterns and colleagues

After all of the “Dust” settles, throw out the “Book” and look at the big picture. Ask yourself, “Do I need to keep this customer?” “What concessions do I have to make to keep him happy?” If you do not care, go back to the “Book” and follow the protocol. You either treat this as a Task or a People issue. One size does not always fit everybody. Remember that, “The Customer is always right.” Never vary from the process and sit by a silent telephone.

One thing I find helpful is giving full information at the point of transaction. Give the customer literature that gives and explains the warranty policy
