"I believe that customers need to be treated with care and kindness, at all stages, even if they are upset or being rude. If a customer were to be upset about their cable service, I would let them know that I was there to listen. I would ask them to tell me everything that is upsetting them so that I could get a full picture. From there, it is much easier for me to solve the situation because I have already spent time 'troubleshooting.' I learned this first step during some call-center customer training that I received at T-Mobile."
