    Quando um cliente apresenta várias falhas de serviço, o primeiro passo é ouvir atentamente e demonstrar empatia pela situação. Reconheça os problemas e peça desculpas sinceras, validando a frustração do cliente. Em seguida, apresente um plano claro para resolver cada falha, com prazos e ações específicas. Se necessário, ofereça compensações, como descontos ou serviços adicionais, para mostrar que você está comprometido com a satisfação dele. Após a resolução, acompanhe o cliente para garantir que a situação foi completamente solucionada e reforçar a confiança no serviço prestado.

    One of the most important things is to keep the customer always updated while trouble shooting is going on. It’s required to apologise in case the failure getting long and it’s required you to admit immediately. Send your expert team showing and explaining the customer the root cause of the failure. Compensations are sometimes required to keep your customer always satisfied in such cases.

    Para falhas: Analiso a falha e ouço o cliente. Apresento um plano de ação e o cliente concordando e aprovando, executo e faço fallow-up.

    Acredito que primeiramente devemos ouvir o cliente, suas preocupações e necessidades. Após isso, devemos buscar as soluções que o atendam de maneira satisfatória.

    Além de ouvir atentamente o cliente, a alternativa frente aos erros é apresentar soluções que amenizem as falhas e mantenham a fidelidade do cliente em nosso trabalho. Erros podem acontecer, mas não devem levar à perdas de clientela!
