Maybe, because it is not a new way &#8211; and it&#8217;s not beyond measure cool or techy. Or maybe because practicing \u00a0this, for the most part, winds up creating more work. But time and again, this one little &#8220;hack&#8221; will have the greatest effect on developing your business.

And in no case, make the situation worse, bypassing the customer on to colleagues, managers, etc. This frustrating game of pass-the-baton only serves to escalate the situation. The employees working on the support team should be empowered with the ability to resolve issues quickly and efficiently. They should be given several options of how they can resolve issues without having to get their manager involved. That way your company will not only delight customers but the empowerment will also delight your employees.<\/p>\n<p>You should further use your existing loyalty tools to satisfy, even delight customers. Explain how their feedback will be used to improve the business.<\/p>\n<p>We love to celebrate great customer experiences, yet we know people aren\u2019t perfect. Mistakes happen. Tempers flare.
