You're facing a customer upset over a missed discount offer. How do you turn this situation around?
Discovering that you've missed out on a discount can be a frustrating experience, especially when you're looking forward to the savings that come with it. As a customer, this can sour your perception of a company and as a business, it's a critical moment to demonstrate effective after-sales service. The key is to approach the situation with empathy, understanding, and a willingness to find a resolution that leaves the customer feeling valued. It's not just about the immediate fix but also about securing a long-term relationship with the customer.
