Does anyone have suggestions/resources for training a team member on responding in an emotionally intelligent way to customer complaints? After seeing some of her exchanges with customers, it's become clear that she needs more training/tools for responding to complaints. Also, in a recent customer survey, she scored lowest for "helpful in solving problems." I can see that the issues that come to her are technically solved, but the customers feel that she doesn't care enough.

Thoughts, opinions?

Customers who are calling to complain often want two things: a solution to their problem, and validation that they are right in feeling upset. It sounds like your employee could be doing more/better validation.

I suggest enrolling your employee in online courses that teach empathy, sympathy, and active listening. Active listening techniques are especially helpful in validating customer feelings.

As an autistic woman. I have a hard time showing “emotional intelligence” but I have a lot of success assisting customers with complaints by simply just sticking to the facts and thanking them for their time or patience.

I am just unsure whether to accept the offer as I was waiting for kpmg reply as I want B4 on my resume which apparently is a big deal. Is BT also good on resume for future employers ??
