Do you ever catch yourself overthinking a customer interaction for 15 minutes after a call?

It used to happen to me when I started working, I guess experience is worth a lot. It doesn't happen so often anymore.

Me! It happens to me all the time, I don't understand why. I wish I could improve that.

I try not to do that, but I'm sure I've done it in the past. It's usually just a waste of time, because I can't really change what happened. If anything, it just makes me anxious and stressed out.

Yes, usually when I'm not sure if I handled the situation the best way. I'll replay the conversation in my head and try to come up with ways that I could have done it better.

All the time! Sometimes because it was a frustrating customer, sometimes because it was a great customer.

How do you handle people’s kids showing up on video meetings? Screaming, kicking, hamming it up, (wasting time.) Everyone else is coo-ing…I’m not a kids person.

Thoughts?
