You will come across dissatisfied customers from time to time - no matter how hard you try to please. You can't please everyone! Talk to the interviewer about your ability to handle dissatisfied customers.

"I have had my fair share of dissatisfied customers and am not shy when it comes to dispute resolution. I find that listening to customers is almost always enough when it comes to diffusing a situation. They want to be heard and feel acknowledged."

"It's never fun to have a dissatisfied customer as I truly care that everyone is happy after my interactions with them. If I have a customer who is unhappy, I will ask them what I can do, or could have done, differently. I will actively listen and then change my actions to create a satisfactory result."

In customer service - a dissatisfied customer is inevitable, but my ability to help them isn't impossible. First and foremost, it is important to listen to them voice their concerns. Actively sympathize, while remaining calm. Apologize gracefully and find a solution.
Rachelle's Feedback
It sounds as though you have had some customer service training in the past :) Great response! If possible, give an example of a time when you helped a dissatisfied customer, and they left the store happy.
