1 Define the problem

In order to identify the source of customer complaints, it is essential to clearly define the problem. To do this, you should collect as much information as possible from customers and your own data and observations. Examples of questions that can be asked are: what is the customer's specific issue or concern? How often and when does the problem occur? What are the possible causes or factors? And how can you measure the impact and severity? By defining the problem, you will gain a better understanding of what needs to be done and what the desired outcome is.

Clarity in understanding issues is foundational. Expanding on this, the approach taken after defining the problem is equally vital. Once you’ve gathered comprehensive details, it’s beneficial to involve cross-functional teams in brainstorming solutions. Diverse perspectives often lead to innovative and holistic solutions. Additionally, continuous feedback loops with the customer are essential. Keeping them engaged in the resolution process ensures that solutions are customer-centric and strengthens their trust in your commitment to enhancing their experience. In essence, problem-solving is both an analytical and relational endeavor.

Defining a customer's complaint involves attentive listening to pinpoint the main issue. Once identified, understand its impact and gather pertinent details. Analyze the cause and propose solutions, prioritizing them by severity. Communicate your understanding to the customer, fix the problem, and follow up. Learn from the situation to prevent future issues and enhance the overall customer experience.

2 Analyze the problem

The next step is to analyze the problem and uncover the underlying reasons why it happens. To do this, you can use various tools and techniques such as the 5 Whys, a Fishbone Diagram, and a Pareto Chart. The 5 Whys is a method of repeatedly asking "why" until you reach the root cause of the problem. The Fishbone Diagram is a visual tool for organizing potential causes into different categories such as people, processes, equipment, materials, environment, and policies. The Pareto Chart is a graphical tool that helps prioritize the most significant causes of the problem based on their frequency or impact. By analyzing the problem, you will be able to pinpoint and verify the source of customer complaints.

For have complete analysis we must work on two front. Occurrence: why happened? Not detection: why I didn't find the problem in my company? We can use all analysis methods we want and we need to remember the aim of our analysis: to find occurrence and not detection.

3 Generate solutions

Once you have identified the source of customer complaints, you can start generating possible solutions to address and prevent them. Utilize brainstorming, mind mapping, or any other creative techniques to come up with as many ideas as possible without judging or filtering them. When evaluating and selecting the best solutions, consider factors such as effectiveness (how well does the solution solve the problem and meet the customer's needs and expectations?), feasibility (how realistic and practical is the solution to implement and sustain?), cost (how much time, money, and resources does the solution require and save?), and risks (what are the potential drawbacks or negative consequences of the solution?). By generating solutions, you will have a range of options to choose from and test.

Indeed. Design thinking is a user-centered approach to problem-solving. Here's a simplified breakdown: 1. **Identify the problem statement:** Understand what needs to be addressed. 2. **Diagnose the problem statement:** Dive deeper to grasp the root causes. 3. **Empathy:** Put yourself in the user's shoes. It's the cornerstone of design thinking because truly understanding the user's needs and emotions paves the way for effective solutions. Empathy isn't just about feeling; it's about leveraging that understanding to create meaningful solutions.

4 Implement solutions

The final step is to implement the solutions that you have chosen and monitor their results. To achieve this, you should create a detailed action plan that outlines the steps, responsibilities, timelines, and resources needed. It's also important to inform and involve all relevant stakeholders, such as customers, employees, suppliers, and managers. Once the solution is executed according to the plan, document the process and outcomes. Lastly, measure and compare the results of the solution against the problem definition and customer satisfaction criteria. This will help you solve the problem and improve customer satisfaction.

A customer service complaint should be treated more like a sales call. Customer service fails because the focus is on the problem rather then the customer. The inaccurate belief is that if the problem is solved, the customer will be serviced. It doesn’t factor in the “impact” the problem has to the customer. When the cause of the complaint is understood, an applicable remedy can be given. Here’s an example. Listen to the customer’s complaint. Identify the impact that has created for them. Ask for what they believe would solve their situation. Offer an approved solution that best fits the impact of the complaint. Verify the customer agrees on the solution.
