Customer is always right
I was reading this post. Believing in “customer is always right”, can be quite frustrating. But research into consumer behavior states that the average satisfied customer conveys to three people about his experience but the average dissatisfied customer grumbles to eleven other people.So the bad mouthing of products or services are unaffordable for any company.
Tackling a disgruntled customer can be strenuous. But it can be safely concluded if a customer is complaining, the good thing is he is already a proactive person and believes in your customer service. If he / she has the passion to get angry, then with reasonable effort, he / she can be converted into company’s advocate. So its an opportunity in disguise.

Hi,Alka..yes,’customer is always right’ is a frustrating dictum at times.:)But,then,if I think back, even I’ve bad mouthed a product/company if I was dissatisfied,to far more people than I conveyed my happiness for a product to.:)Human nature?

Prancer, that is a HUGE compliment. But TRY not to worry about councelling part. ANywhere in the world, its highly stressful job. i can understand your position, though I am not in your shoes.

I NEVER buy a stuff even if I have heard just one negative thing. I have experienced negatives come in bunches!

Surely its all about beating the customers expectations. As a Dell customer (after I left Dell) my expectation for a good service experience was very low. As I discovered to my delight Dell got it all right with me and I was so happy I had to tell people about it on my blog
