| − | Should you work for an active answering service or answer phones in your job, you will find frustrated callers from time to time. Everyone makes mistakes and often everyone has other activities going on in their lives that leave a poor style of their mouths. Though these calls could be tricky, they are able to also be an excellent opportunity to turn someone's day around. Taking these steps will show your customers that you simply care and you'll simply make them into a loyal customer with your thoughtfulness:

| − | When speaking with an unhappy caller:
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1. Let them explain and reiterate what you've heard. Sometimes folks simply need to vent. Provide them with a moment to describe their situation and let them know you've understood their issue by repeating what you've heard.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2. Acknowledge their emotion. A supportive "That does sound frustrating" or "I can easily see where you're coming from" will go quite a distance. But if you don't feel it, don't say it; faking empathy can do more damage than good.
| |

| − | 3. Offer to help. Like a virtual receptionist, you may not be able to do everything your caller asks (i.e., answer their question in regards to a bill or physically track down an employee). However, almost always there is something that you can do! Use helpful phrases like "Let me" or "I would be happy to" and add a healthy dose of reassurance ("Let me have a message for John, our billing specialist. He will be the very best person to talk with about your bill. I'll make certain he has got the message immediately.").

| − | 4. Guide your caller. Always end in an issue. Guiding a caller with questions keeps you in charge of the phone call helping you gather any pertinent information. A quick question will do, for example "May I have your phone number?" or "What's the best time to achieve you?" Basically, anything you need or else you think would be helpful to obtain issue resolved quickly with as little additional effort out of your caller!

| − | Your whole product is down? That is terrible! Let me defeat an in depth message for our support team and browse it back to ensure everything is correct. I'll make certain they get this immediately so we can have you ready to go as soon as possible. What is the best phone number for a return call?

| − | Bonus tip: Virtual receptionists and in-house receptionists alike might want to range from the caller's frustration within the message, so the other party can prioritize their issue and become prepared for the return call. Something similar to, "Sheila seemed frustrated and would like a phone call when possible" must do the secret!

| − | If phone answering is a component of the job and you receive a message from an upset caller:
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1. Ring rather than reply. Even if your client sent an email or left a voicemail, when emotions are participating, a call or face-to-face conversation is the greatest approach to take. Conveying a positive tone in an email is much harder compared to your voice. When conversing over the phone, you get to add warm and kindness to your voice and diffuse the problem better.
| |

| − | 2. Gather your key points. Before you decide to dial their number, pause and consider what you'd like to discuss. For instance, if pulling up their username and passwords can help the call go smoother, do this before hopping on the phone.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 3. Think positive thoughts. Negative thinking won't build your follow-up any easier. Instead, envision your conversation going well, and your colleague's concerns being assuaged. It'll calm your nerves and make you sound more confident while you fix their problem!
