Si la falta de comunicación de mi equipo genera una mala experiencia negativa en un cliente, lo primero que tenemos que hacer es reconocerlo ante esa persona y pedirle disculpas de la manera más honesta y humana posible. A posteriori, y una vez resuelto el conflicto con el cliente, debemos de revisar qué ha pasado en el equipo para encontrar los puntos de mejora que, sin duda alguna, se deben de implementar: no es lo mismo que no se haya comunicado una información por actitud (una persona no ha querido hacerlo) que si es por defecto del proceso (no sabía a quien derivar la información). Todos los procesos de comunicación son mejorables y eso lo hacemos .. en equipo.
To turn around a negative customer experience caused by miscommunication, the first step is to take ownership of the situation. Acknowledge the mistake sincerely and offer a genuine apology. Next, listen actively to the customer's concerns and ensure they feel heard. Immediately clarify any misunderstandings and provide a clear, step-by-step solution to resolve the issue. As a follow-up, implement process improvements and keep the customer informed throughout. Finally, offer something of value—whether a discount, a personalized service, or a future benefit—to rebuild trust and show commitment to their satisfaction.
