    How to Deal With Customer Complaints?


    In order to address customer complaints in an effective way, you need to discover what your customer is exactly unhappy about and for what reason? Was the product or service not up to the mark? Was he over promised and undersold? Was it a particular employee or service provider that did not perform to expectation? Was the after sales service not good enough? Asking questions like these can give you a good idea of the customer’s cause of dissatisfaction and how to address them. For example, at companies like Global Tree, consumer complaints are often pre-empted by seeking customer feedback after service, where they are asked about their experience and whether their expectations were met during the duration of the service.

    Dealing with all types of consumer complaints – Global Tree

    Types of Customer Complaints


    There are mainly two types of customer complaints.

    Verbal complaint
    The first type is a complaint that has been spoken verbally but not put on social media. It may be tempting for your employees to avoid addressing the issue at this stage. This may happen on account of laziness or apathy. However, this must discourage at all costs. It is important to take the opportunity to fix the problem at this stage. Not only will you retain a happy customer, you will also have improved your system to avoid future complaints of a similar nature.

    Written complaint
    This complaint can be lodged formally at the consumer court or digitally on the social media channels of the company. It is important to avoid the customer dissatisfaction from reaching this stage. A COMPLAINT ON SOCIAL MEDIA will be seen by thousands of your followers and can give the company a negative reputation. It is important to deal with this type of complaints as soon as possible.

    How to Address a Consumer Complaint

    The best approach for solving customer complaints is to treat each one individually and take them one at a time. You also need to start with setting proper expectations for your customers. Many times, the sales team will over promise or oversell a feature, which the service provider finds impossible to deliver. This leads to a lot of problems for the company down the line. If customer is dissatisfied for some reason, then you should first identify the reason for their dissatisfaction. At GLOBAL TREE, COSTUMER COMPLAINTS ARE TAKEN WITH A HUMAN APPROACH. The needs of the customer are understood and aligned with the service provided by the company. The customer feedback provides for a measurable analysis of the customer satisfaction level and gives a better perception of whether a particular feature or service is working well or not. Once you get the reasons for the customer’s unhappiness then you can use the information to improve the working system of your company and make sure that there is a continual improvement in the service of your customers.

One mistake many companies make is to suppress or ignore the bad reviews, while highlighting only the good ones.

Were they unhappy about the delivery timelines? The service itself or the aftersales service. You could also use technology to build an algorithm that can reveal a pattern in customer feedback, based on which you could decide to make structural changes to your product’s workflow and customer onboarding experience.
    There is a lot that one can learn from customer reviews, especially the ones that have not been so kind to the company’s product, as it helps the company to easily identify the areas of improvement and put together a strategy for the same.

In fact, the business of posting reviews for a price is a big one. However though lucrative in the short run, this fast-track short cut approach can spell doom for the business in the long run. We explore the reason why

    The Lost Cause of Fake Reviews

    Many companies resort to posting fake reviews that give glowing accounts of the product. As a result, the company gets many customers. Now if the service or the product being sold, does not match up to the expected standards, the customer gets frustrated and does not return. In this manner, a company with fake reviews will get a number of first-time customers but will not be getting any return customers
    We have in fact found that return customers, or customers who genuinely believe in the quality of the product or service are the best and most cost-effective advertising mediums for a company. At GLOBAL TREE REVIEWS BY CUSTOMERS, whether positive or negative are always seen as points of learning and the company uses the feedback to improve itself Any company that concentrates more on providing quality product or services and works towards actually understanding the needs and feedback of the customer will grow more in the long run, than a company that resorts to paying money for fake reviews.  As Mahatma Gandhi, rightly said, “People who accept when they are wrong, go a lot further than people who prove they are right’!

    When Consumer Complaints Are Result of a Misunderstanding


    Most of the times, immigration and overseas education consultancies establish themselves with a view to provide a solution to the client in his quest for finding the means to settle or study abroad. Whenever a student, who is guided by the team of consultants at an overseas education business finds admission to a coveted university or gets accepted for student visa, then the entire team rejoices this happy news as though it is their own personal victory. Very often consultants invest a lot of time, effort as well as personal interest in the success of a student. Right from understanding the student’s profile, to researching various universities and courses in order to suggest the right fit, to making sure that the student has all the necessary documents in place to ensure that the admission or visa application process is not unduly delayed. The consultants take care of everything. In such a scenario, if a student has to miss out on an opportunity due to non -availability or delay in visa process, it is but natural that the consultants will feel extremely sad. So, imagine the plight of the consultants if the student happens to raise a complaint against the firm and the team of consultants. Which has been the case recently at a company called Global Tree. Consumer complaint, was raised by a student who, having through the efforts of the consultants, obtained a seat in an Australian university, decided against taking up the seat and asked for a full refund of the fees paid by her. Due to circumstances that are beyond the reach of the OVERSEAS EDUCATION CONSULTANTS, there was a delay in the refund process from the university, and this led to an escalation of sorts and a police complaint was filed against the company 

    When Consumer Complaints Are Result of a Misunderstanding


    Though we cannot know for sure whether it is justified for the GLOBAL TREE CONSUMER COMPLAINT to be launched and the police to be involved. We do know that companies can take a few steps to ensure that situation is not escalated to this point
    1. Make Sure the Consumer Knows What to Expect From the Beginning
    Sometimes, marketing teams are so keen on closing a sale, that they will promise the sun, the moon and the stars to the potential customer. This can lead to a lot of problems down the line. It is best to stick with the facts when it comes to soliciting a sale
    2. When a Situation Arises Keep the Consumer Informed
    Many times, customer care representatives do not keep the consumer abreast of the latest situation, especially where bad news or potentially bad news is involved. The consumer may feel cheated in such a scenario, and the trust is broken
    3. Be Patient When Talking To an Irate Customer
    Many situations can be de-escalated easily if the customer is appeased and the customer care representative is able to talk in a cool and composed manner.  You should never take the anger of a customer personally and should do your best to assure him that you are doing your best to resolve the issue
    4. Trust in the Truth
    It sometimes happens that, despite best efforts, the customer is not convinced and wants to part ways. In such a scenario it is best to carry on providing exemplary service to the customers and trust that truth will ultimately prevail
    5. Learn From the Incident
    Every incident has the potential for a lesson within it. Even in case of an unresolvable issue, there is a lesson that can be learned. Maybe your company needs to have an honest look at its policies or an overhaul of the service standards. Whatever it is you have a chance to introspect and learn from the incident
