    • Poor or absent planning
    • Inadequate communication systems
    • No customer focus in the activities
  • Avoid the following words and phrases when handling complaints as they make customers cringe
    • Our policy is……
    • The computer… 
    • They…
    • I can’t… 
  • Why Some People Don’t Complain
    • Apathy  -  couldn’t be bothered
    • Empathy -  too nice to complain because they understand
    • Sympathy -  feel sorry for the people involved so don’t complain 
    • Accessibility - they don’t know how to get their complaint to the relevant person in the  organization 
    • Fear - they don’t know what impact their complaining may have on them in the future
    • Frustration - complaining has not resulted in a positive outcome before, so they don’t complain
Until next time...
