Keep in mind the reason why you are thanking them is because you want to improve on your business plus, any customer will become speechless once they hear that you are most appreciative of the feedback regardless of how angry they are. This is what you call the shock value of it all. This will calm them eventually. </font></font> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in" align="justify"> <br /> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in" align="justify"> <font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">But make sure that you are listening intently by allowing them to vent. Once you do reply to his rants is to keep your voice naturally authoritative. The reason behind this is because keeping a neutrally calm tone will indicate control and having more authority over the issue at hand. </font></font> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in" align="justify"> <br /> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in" align="justify"> <font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">Also, do not take the client&#39;s behavior personally. All the verbal attack, no matter how aggressive it gets isn&#39;t at all personal. The way to deal with this is, never get defensive. Zero in on the solutions not the aggression. Lastly, apologize for the inconvenience this has caused your clients. Empathize. </font></font> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in" align="justify"> <br /> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in" align="justify"> <font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">They may seem simple, but mastering it takes a lot of handwork.
