This question is not only a test of your customer service skills; it is also a test of your emotional intelligence. When faced with a challenging person, it is natural to react defensively. But non-defensive communication requires separating emotion or blame from the situation and addressing it objectively through empathy. So share how you effectively de-escalate such situations through active listening, empathy, validation, perspective, and mirroring. Essentially, explain how you ensure that every customer's exit experience is a happy one. T-Mobile expects every employee to "Love Our Customers: We don't just do customer service. We do customer love. Simply put, their happy is our happy."
