The first thing that comes to my mind is to always respond positively, if the client feels that you have problems for some reason he will change his persecution of you. Imagine if it is the other way around and you are the client, and they answer you that they have problems, it would be an uncomfortable case, right?
I never really thought about it, usually, this kind of answer comes automatically to my head when I am dealing with a customer. I always tell them I'm fine.
I work with people who are in the visa process, as they are immigrants, it is hard to be worse off than these people, as they are at risk of being deported. I always take this into account when talking to them, and therefore my treatment is super gentle and empathetic, I try not to talk about myself.
You know, I hadn't really considered that some of us working in customer service were actually helping people who were in dire situations like this. Thank you for sharing your side of things
I usually think about how I'm actually doing. I'm not always great, but I usually say that I am because I don't want to burden the customer with my problems.
Well they burned me with their problem so sometimes I feel like I might be justified in telling them how I feel haha
"DONT SAY EMPTY INSIDE DONT SAY EMPTY INSIDE DONT SAY EMPTY INSIDE" or some variation of that
Nothing but white noise. At this point it's just reflex to say I'm good and move through the questions
