    Acknowledge the Complaint: Respond promptly to the client’s complaint, showing empathy and understanding. It’s important they feel heard. Gather Information: Ask for specific details regarding the issue. This not only helps you understand the situation better but also shows the client that you’re taking their issue seriously. Review Company Policies: Familiarize yourself with your company's policies on service quality and refunds. Ensure your response aligns with these guidelines. Communicate Clearly: Clearly explain your findings to the client. If the complaint is valid, apologize and explain how you will rectify the situation.

    When a customer raises a quality complaint, just listen carefully to them what they expect about the products and where it went wrong and then have solutions like offer discount coupons, vouchers, free services or offer them as buy 1 get 1 offers to retain the customers so this leads the customers with positive feedback..

    Dealing with service Quality complaints we should acknowledge the complaint first. We should agree and accept the complaint. To find out most probable or exact root cause and make effective CAPA. Assures customer to avoid the repeated mistakes. Also if possible take customer in trust by paying replacement of goods or services without or minimum basic costs. Or some additional discounts on next orders. Proactively discuss the service challenges with customer and Assurance to overcome it. This way we can build our relations with customer in future.

    Hoje em dia as empresas precisam se garantir pelo que entregam de valor agregado ao cliente e não por um contrato de adesão. Isso já vem sendo quebrado por empresas de menor porte que garante uma entrega e satisfação do cliente acima da média, sem exigir garantias de fidelidade. Todos tem que ter uma visão em prol do cliente e não no cliente.
