The power of an apology

"How to Give an Effective Customer Apology" looks at the expectation customers have and how to work towards a resolution by using apologies. We all make mistakes. Customers don’t expect you to be perfect, but they do expect you to offer a sincere apology and take steps to correct mistakes when they happen. Whether it’s a bungled order, incorrect information on a website, or a neglected customer follow-up, you'll examine how unaddressed mistakes can break trust and irrevocably damage customer relationships. You'll learn how to correct that.
