COMPLAINTS INTO COMPLIMENTS with Dan Pratt

In the first part of his series of The Customer is always Right, Dan Pratt, founder of DAP Consultancy talked about different types of customers, their behaviour, and ways of successfully diffusing difficult situations.

In this episode Dan says that receiving a complaint should often be looked at as a positive business opportunity – and at relatively low-cost.

He also talks about goodwill gestures which can often work wonders - and how to practically deal with negative on-line reviews which are often unjustified.
