A customer called and wanted to speak to someone in a different department. I let her know I was putting her on hold while I transferred her call. The phone rang again and it was her calling back, convinced I hung up on her when I put her on hold. This happened a couple more times until I explained we didn't have hold music and I was not hanging up on her. She thanked me, so there's that. Are we doomed, or what?

How do you handle customers who compare your business and prices to your competitors? I usually brush off the crazy-rude customers, but when someone says, “That other place does it better and cheaper,” it really gets to me. My prices are fair, and my service is solid. I rarely hear these complaints, but when I do, it sticks. How do you respond without letting it eat at you?
