Be sure that the customer is king. The client’s wishes and problems should be important to you. Make sure that you will do everything to meet the customer’s needs. Stay patient and polite in all situations. The customer always comes first. 2. Always stick to time schedules, no matter if you have agreed on a visit to the customer’s place or promised any information to be given. Always inform the customer in the case of any delays. Be punctual and reliable when dealing with customers. 3. Listen carefully and actively to understand what the customer wants. If your client is unhappy or upset, you first need to know what’s wrong before you can do anything about it. Listen carefully to understand your customer’s wishes and needs. 4. If there is a problem, never blame other people in front of the customer. Instead, take the initiative and do your best to solve the problem. Accept problems and try to find solutions, without blaming anyone. 5. If the customer is angry, try to stay positive, regardless of how negative the client is. Getting angry yourself is unprofessional and does not help anyone. Keep cool and be professional in conflict situations. 01 A2 Word bank handle abwickeln enquiry Anfrage appointment Termin issue Thema upset verärgert 01 complaint Beschwerde consultation Beratungsgespräch 02 needs Anforderungen, Bedürfnisse time schedule Zeitplan, Termin delay Verspätung blame beschuldigen solve a problem ein Problem lösen 02 A2–B1 Dealing with customers Marvin’s boss says: “The way you deal with a customer is essential for our company.
