Overview

Exceptional customer service is the ultimate key to success. Giving excellent service to customers is straightforward when they're reasonable. Yet, you'll inevitably encounter one or two unreasonable people. How do you provide a top-notch client experience when dealing with difficult people who dampen your enthusiasm?

In Calm Challenging Customers, you'll convert trying interactions into positive outcomes by implementing the 6S Model. You'll discover how to convert tricky interactions into triumphs. This practical system is the same one that Mj Callaway developed to navigate demanding corporate clients, giving her the nickname of The Clean-Up Crew because she could calm angry customers. 

The "Calm Challenging Customers" program equips you with practical strategies to navigate complex customer interactions, turning potential conflicts into opportunities to strengthen relationships, resolve issues, and create happy customers. 

With the detailed step-by-step approach, you will know how to defuse charged situations, remain calm even when the other person isn't, identify customer emotions underlying the problem, implement the A.L.E. Method to build trust, clarify the customer's intended messages, and take a proactive approach to make things right.

The six-step Model shows you how to:

  • Create a comfortable environment for customers to voice objections and concerns, which is paramount in encouraging authentic conversations.
  • Shift the interaction towards emphasizing solutions and incorporating a positive "yes and" approach to move forward constructively.
  • Offer empathy to validate customers' emotions, which is pivotal in moving forward. 
  • Personalize communication to customers' specific expectations and perspectives.
  • Incorporate the A.L.E. Method, promoting intentional listening without interruption.
  • Use Mj's 3S technique to slow the pacing and soothe the emotions.
  • Increase awareness of incongruent body language cues to confirm you're heading in the resolution direction or remaining at a standstill. 
  • Get customers invested in the proposed resolution, encouraging agreement and satisfaction.

 

The A.L.E. technique unlocks the "why" behind customer behaviors and emotions. You'll incorporate critical verbal and non-verbal communication strategies to resolve conflicts, meet customer needs, and improve relationships. Your silent communication plays a vital role in the interaction. Maintaining a positive and calm demeanor is emphasized throughout the program, with a focus on non-verbal communication. The program underscores the importance of clarifying what has been heard, validating customer feelings, and digging into the underlying reasons for dissatisfaction. 

By implementing the Calm Challenging Customers step-by-step model, tools, and strategies, you will effectively and confidently handle challenging customer interactions, build trust, and turn potential conflicts into opportunities for resolution and improved customer satisfaction.
