Few of us who deal with customers can hear the words ‘The customer is always right’ without a wry smile or a deep sigh. Though we know that every customer deserves the best attention and service that we are capable of providing, experience has made us all too aware that, once in a while, we will be faced with people who may be peculiar, impatient, angry, troublesome, long-winded, obsessive and very demanding. Fortunately not every customer presents these sorts of challenge, but in a world of rising expectations, tough competition and the increasing emphasis that many people put on their rights, anyone who ever comes into contact with customers has to be equipped and ready to handle difficult people. The goal is to make sure that all our customers, however awkward, go away satisfied with the service they have received. The Demanding Customers programme has been designed to demonstrate how to treat customers with professional courtesy, no matter how trying the situation.
