Actively listen! because the more time a customer spends airing their grievances, the more time they have to calm down. Allow the client to express their opinions. Be sympathetic.Apologize when appropriate. Offer to try to fix the problem and Gain agreement on your resolution.

A dissatisfied customer is irrate on the basically on Company's process of unavailability to solve issue fast. In this scenario listen to the customer and make him feel important and his complaint. Make him understand why there is a delay Take ownership and speak to SPOCs who will resolve the query Outcall the Customer. A dissatisfied customer will be a satisfied one.

Most most important is your intention, ask your self do you want to help your customer or are you behind just sales?

that will determine the end result.

once that is clear then listen and do what is best but believe me nothing important than your desire to help

Dear Customer, on behalf of my company and my customer service team, I extend my heartfelt apology for1) the delay of a week in you being provided the service we owe you2) for being given the run around3) for being spoken rudely to.

(this shows the customer that1) you are taking ownership of the issue2) you are genuinely apologetic and empathy about the issues)

 

The inconvenience caused to you definitely needs to be escalated and I can assure you that corrective action will be taken by our quality team to ensure we keep up to the high standards of service quality that you deserve and we have promised.

 

(this shows that you are taking customers  concerns seriously, and that will speak to your supervisor about it who in turn will escalate it as per company policy)

 

And from here on, you can note down all the issues and make it a point to keep the customer informed by email or any other means of communication as soon as possible about when she will be receiving the service, coz thats what she actually wants.

 

If possible it would be beneficial for the goodwill of the company to send her an exclusive discount coupon, etc, on her next order.

 

(This is what I would expect if I was an irate customer, and this is also what any service providing company's policy would have if they have to be a step above the competition)

Patience is a virtue. It's important to be sympathetic with the customer to ensure that they have the best customer service experience as it can reflect on whether they continue to do business with your company or not. It's also a good skill to learn how to deal with different customers, so patience is an important characteristic in achieving this!
