Deal With Complaints ASAP.
If you don’t respond quickly to a complaint, you’ll soon have two complaints: the original complaint plus another complaint about your delay.
With more and more potential customers who use the Internet checking on reputations, keeping your good name is more important than ever.
Dealing with complaints quickly and skillfully makes friends, keeps customers, gets new ones, and enhances your reputation.
