Anyone that has worked with customers or clients knows that eventually they will have a customer that is upset or dissatisfied. You could provide the best product and the best customer service, but ultimately it will happen. It may be a negative review, an upset customer in the store, or even a disgruntled client calling or emailing about an issue they have encountered. Sometimes it may not even be your fault; its cause could stem from poor communication, a computer glitch, the unforeseen happening, or even because of an honest mistake. Regardless of the reason or situation, you will need to be the one that resolves the issue. Hopefully our guide to handling a difficult customer (included above) helps resolve any conflict your business may face, and may turn your unhappiest customer into a loyal one.

“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one,” is my favorite quote. I’ve been working since high school mostly with small, growing businesses across various industries. I’ve had to wear many hats for each role. In that time, I’ve learned that problem-solving and helping pass on that information to others is what drives me. Today, I’m the Digital Marketing Manager at Acumen Connections.
