Complaint handling examples I have had an opportunity to experience different levels of customer service from several companies within home appliance repair service sector. These experiences ranged from very positive to extremely negative. I run into poor customer service when the dishwasher in my house stopped functioning properly and was only cleaning dishes that were located on the lower rack. I contacted the warranty company and they have found a repair provider within my area and were able to schedule an appointment for the technician to come out and evaluate the situation. Once the technician inspected the dishwasher he concluded that a part will need to get replaced. He said that he will order this new part and will contact me to schedule the installation. After about two weeks of not getting any updates from the repair technician I called the company and was connected with the customer service representative that was not familiar with my case and could only say that they will contact the technician that is handling my repair and will give me a call back with in 24 hours. As 24 and then 48 hours went by without getting a call from the company I have called them again and was connected with a different representative that once more was not familiar with my situation and had no update on the status of the part order. They provided the same response that the technician will give me a call back, but instead I requested to speak to their manager and was transferred to another person, supposedly a manager. Speaking with the manager also did not yield any results since he had no information on the status of the order either. At this point I have decided to contact the warranty company and have them try to get some... ... middle of paper ... ...izational hierarchy and available for inspection by on the company’s intranet. This would provide all employees with an opportunity to contribute solutions that address customer problems. Noticeable differences are apparent after comparing the complaint management processes of the previously described appliance repair companies with the newly developed procedure for handling client issues. In the case of the first organization, with the poor customer services response, it seems that once the representative was not able to handle the initial inquiry there was no mechanism in place to escalate and track the progress of the issue in the company. Another component that seems to be missing in that organization is the measurement, analysis and feedback process that would have provided management with notifications regarding any outstanding and unresolved problems.
I recently spoke to Jeremy, a customer service representative who provided your email as a management resource. I am contacting you regarding a recent experience with the Hennessy Southlake collision department. I have received subpar services at Hennessy Southlake and was informed to contact you.I chose this Hennessy location due to superb references from close friends and associates. The service that I received, however, was lackluster. I brought my car in for a paint job to cover scratches from recent hurricane damage. I was informed that my entire car would be painted to ensure a flawless finish. I am familiar with the Hennessy name. I am also familiar with the Hennessy standard of excellence. I have not received excellence in service nor

Customer service is the most important aspect of any business. Without an adequate relationship with its consumer base, a company is at an enormous disadvantage.
It was a very positive beginning to our dinner. Our server seemed to have a sixth sense of when his section was sat and came to us to get a drink order within two minutes of the hostess leaving. He also seemed to really enjoy his job. Since it was her first time at Texas Roadhouse, my friend had a lot of questions about the menu and our server was very patient and answered every one to the best of his ability. We were also approached at our table by a manager who was sincere in her welcome to the restaurant and made us really feel at home while we were there. All in all, there was nothing to complain about when it came to customer service; it was
Customer service is valued as a competitive tool by many organisations. It gives you the ability to gain customer loyalty while meeting the customer’s expectations. Staff will have many skills and knowledge that will provide a competitive edge. Most organisations are known for the quality of their customer service. This means that they are known for good customer service or poor customer service. However, being known for good customer service will attract customers. It will also attract customers who are usually hard to reach.
Research has shown that customers who have had a service failure resolved quickly and properly are more loyal to a company than are customers who have never had a service failure -- significantly more loyal. Service recovery practices are a critical element in any customer loyalty program.
Consumers are concerned not only about a product breaking down but also about the time before service is restored, the timeliness with which service appointments are kept, the nature of dealings with service personnel, and the frequency with which service calls or repairs fail to correct outstanding problems. In those cases where problems are not immediately resolved and complaints are filed, a company’s complaint-handling procedures are also likely to affect customers’ ultimate evaluation of product and service quality.
Complaints are a good form of feedback. They're a few steps to follow in handling difficult situations. The first is to Focus and listen to the customer. The next is to be courteous and discreet, if possible take the customer away from others. Then suggest way(s) to fix the problem, if nothing can be done thank the customer for bring the problem to your attention. If you can't fix the problem go to somebody who can but stay there to make sure the problem is resolved. Then find the solution and implement it, then check the customer is happy and re-thank them for bring the problem to your attention. Last off all record the situation in your establishments logbooks.

Finally, follow up with the customer. Business and companies have an opportunity to make sure that the customers needs or issues were met and resolved. You can follow up with your customer by phone, email or even a letter to make sure that the issue or solution was solved to their satisfaction. If it wasn’t solved or resolved at that time that you will continue to find a workable solution and keep them informed. Sometimes going above and beyond will exceed the customers expectations and they will become loyal customers as well as customers that will share creating new customers.
