The Art of Managing Your Emotions
When it comes to Customer Service, there will be a high chance of you dealing with customers who are upset, frustrated, or even angry. They may express their frustration in various ways, including yelling, using harsh language, or being generally difficult to communicate with. And if you react defensively or aggressively to the customer’s behavior, this can make the situation worse and more difficult to resolve.
What to do in order to manage your emotions and stay professional?
1. When you’re feeling overwhelmed or upset, it can be easy to react emotionally and say something you might regret. To avoid this, remember to take a deep breath and maintain a positive attitude by approaching the situation with a mindset of finding a solution and providing excellent service. This can help you to stay calm and composed, and manage the situation from a more rational perspective.
2. One way that can help you better understand the customer’s concerns and to show them that you value their input is by listening actively. After listening, repeat back what the customer has said in your own words to show that you listened to the customer and that you understand their concerns.
3. Put yourself in the customer’s shoes and understand their perspective so you can better identify their needs and provide appropriate solutions. Showing empathy can create a more positive customer experience and build strong relationships with them.
4. Be clear and direct about what behavior is not acceptable such as using abusive language, making personal attacks, or refusing to listen to your instructions. Remember that we have our own dignity too as an individual and as a person. It is necessary to maintain a safe and productive working environment even if it can be difficult to set boundaries with customers.
