Actively Seeking Customer Complaints
It is important to realize that organizations that are totally customer-focused do not just respond effectively to customer complaints; they actively seek them out. A research indicates that for every complaint expressed there are over 25 unregistered complaints. Many dissatisfied customers just quietly take their business elsewhere. Therefore, organizations that are truly committed to delivering Superior Customer Performance work hard at providing their customers opportunities to complain.

The most effective method of handling complaints
Kill the reason of complaint. Don’t let the complaint arise in first place.

Eight Steps to complaint resolution
• Provide customers with the opportunity to complain.
• Give customers your full and undivided attention.
• Listen completely. • Ask the key question: "what else?" • Agree that a problem exists; never
disagree or argue. • Apologize. • Resolve the complaint. (Ask again: "what
else?") • Thank the customer for bringing the
complaint to your attention.

Special Cases
Do something extra that you can as a gesture of apology to make customer feel specialIf you cant give to customer what he/she is asking for, rather than refusing straightaway, give another option.

Complaint is an opportunity..
Guest complaint is an opportunity to go that extra mile to resolve it, and do something special for the customer so that he knows he is valued and thus he comes back.
