If you have dealt with angry customers before, you know that upset people need to feel heard and validated. Demonstrating patience, a willingness to listen, empathy and validation will help resolve even some of the most challenging customer situations.

"Whenever I speak to an angry customer, I am careful to lower my voice and listen to their needs. Sometimes they need to vent. I empathize by letting them know I hear what they are saying and understand. If there is anything I can do to resolve it, I act on it. Otherwise, I ask them how I can help them and do my best to meet whatever needs I can."

There are different types of customers. We need to stay calm and try to give them the right advice and good service when required. if there is anything I can resolve for the customer, I will take the initiative to do it.

Rachelle's Feedback

This is a good start. Rather than jumping into 'we' and 'what we should do' type of advice, I recommend giving details and a specific story. This is a behavioral-based question, and an example would be necessary to answer successfully.
