The Types of Complaining Customers
You can't please everyone, though as a business your main
purpose is to please as many customers as possible so that they
keep returning. When customers are dissatisfied with the service
you are providing they will be one of three kinds of
complainers: aggressive, passive or constructive.
Aggressive complainers are most difficult to please and are
often more concerned with displaying their emotion than actually
achieving a solution. Aggressive customers will often shout,
jump to conclusions, and can make unreasonable demands or make
threats. Aggressive complainers can be intimidating but should
be handled in a calm manner unless the employee feels threatened
in which case calling for help may be necessary.
Passive complainers are the most lethal to a businesses success,
as they will complain to everyone but the actual business. Since
the business is left unaware of their error they cannot correct
it and the only thing a passive complainer succeeds in doing is
depriving the company of potential business.
Constructive complainers are most beneficial to a business since
they address their
problem to the business in a calm rational
manner. Constructive complainers allow a company to see and
understand a problem, which allows them to then repair it.
Constructive complainers tend to receive beneficial solutions to
their problems and the business also benefits from knowing the
error of their ways.
Whatever type of complainer they may be, it is important to deal
with all complaints with the utmost care after all, the customer
is essential to a businesses livelihood. Being an empathetic
listener is a key part of understanding and helping you customer
achieve the results they desire. If dealt with effectively both
parties should part feeling satisfied with the solution.
