    Course Description

    Here are 7 reasons to welcome complaints as an opportunity rather than an annoyance:

    • Most customers vote with their feet and don’t even give you the chance to fix a perceived value imbalance so be thankful they are still a customer.
    • Measuring and reducing complaints as a performance indicator is often easier than measuring “increased customer service levels”.
    • In marketing, there is a term known as the “bugger principle” Every time someone says “bugger” there is a business opportunity.
    • Complaints are free and customer satisfaction surveys are not.
    • Complaints will give you broader user perspectives. Often people are too close to their products and services and need to break free from myopic perspectives.
    • Research has proven that if you conduct a successful service recovery you will increase customer loyalty levels.
    • Resolving complaints involves dialogue with customers. Dialogue generates new ideas and increases customer engagement levels.

    “A customer who complains is my best friend.” –Leonard, Stew
