The last thing that a customer wants to hear from you is that 'You're wrong'! They always expect you to understand them, appreciate their feedback and value the complaints they have launched against your services. When you are thrown into a situation as such, you are required to handle it with utter professionalism and polish. Make sure to have a good command over the English language and brush up on your communication skills to ensure a smooth conversation while dealing with angry customers. Let us take a look at a few things that you could say to save your customer from leaving in an anger fit.
