Answer an upset customer with a fair fix
Anyone who answers customers, when a complaint comes in by email, chat, phone or in person.
Claude
What to paste in
- The complaint, what they bought, your policy, and what you are allowed to offer.
I handle customers for [your business and what you sell]. A customer is upset. Here is what they said: [paste their message or what they said]. What our records show: [what they bought or booked, the date and the price. No card numbers.] Our policy: [paste your return, refund, redo or credit rules]. What I can offer without a manager: [such as a redo, a refund, a credit, or a discount up to $X]. How I will answer: [email, chat, or words to say out loud]. 1. Sum up what the customer wants in one line. 2. List the fixes my policy allows, best first, and say why the first one is best. 3. Write the reply. Say sorry once. Say the problem back so they know I heard them. Give the fix and the next step, with a time frame. Say what I need from them, like a photo or an order number. Keep it under 120 words. 4. List anything I should check before I send it or say it. Use warm, plain words. No blame and no excuses. Do not promise anything outside my policy or my limits. If the policy does not cover this, or they want more than I can give, tell me to get a manager.
