"The customer is rarely ever right"
If I had a rep making a statement like that I would fire his bellybutton on the spot! That's a sign of a poor attitude. I don't want combative reps dealing with my most important asset. My customers. I want equitable resolution and happy customers happy customers are return customers. More happy customers equals more revenue. More revenue equals success.
Lefty you seem to believe that thinking "the customer is not always right", and doing your best to make the customer happy are mutually exclusive.
And just to prove a point.
In this thread I have one customer who thinks the customer is not always right, and another who thinks they always are.
So obviously one of the customers is not right, and hence just proved the point.
