      2nd Answer Example

      "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."
