"A customer called me very frustrated about an issue with their bank account. I listened and told them I would be happy to help. I asked more questions to understand the problem and then made a few suggestions once I knew what might solve it. The customer was relieved and grateful that I took the time to listen and make sense of the issue. I plan to provide consistent customer service in the same way when I work for PNC Bank."

"Each customer complaint is unique; however, I have been trained to handle each customer with the same method - listen, be empathetic, and use phrases such as 'If I understand your concern...' and repeat their words back to them. This method has always worked for me."

The key to responding to a customer complaint is allowing them to share their complaint without interrupting them. Paraphrase the complaint to make sure you have understood them clearly and assure them you will get things resolved. If you can resolve it immediately, do so. If it will take some time, check back with them periodically to let them know the progress towards a resolution.
