TRANSCRIPT
Hello. My name is Emma, and in today's video I am going to teach you a very, very important thing for customer service. I used to work in customer service, and this is actually one of the most important things I learned, and this is called the L-A-S-T or LAST approach.
So, to get started, let's talk a little bit about: What is customer service? So, customer service is when you have customers, of course, and you're trying to make your customers as comfortable and happy as possible. You're also trying to meet their needs and expectations, and solve any problems or situations that they might have. So, customer service is a huge category. There's many, many different jobs where you use customer service. If you work in a hotel, for example, as a clerk, you know, in the lobby, as a bellhop, you will be using customer service. If you work at a restaurant as a server, you'll be using customer service, or as a hostess. If you're the manager of a store, you'll be using customer service. If you work in a business or even in a hospital, you'll be using customer service. So, pretty much any time you're dealing with people from the public and they're customers and you're trying to help them, you're doing customer service.
So, there are many different problems that a customer might have. What are some examples of some problems? Can you think of anything, a problem a customer might have? Maybe somebody charged them too much for something, maybe they're in a store and the lineups are too long, maybe a customer is at a hotel and they're very unhappy because the Wi-Fi isn't working or their bed's uncomfortable. So, there's so many different problems customers might have at different types of businesses.
In this video what I'm going to teach you is: What do you do when a customer has a problem? Okay? So, a very easy thing to do when a customer has a problem is called the LAST approach. "LAST", what does it stand for? Well, if a customer has a problem, the first thing you should do is listen to their problem, the next thing you should do is apologize, solve their problem, and thank them. So: Listen, Apologize, Solve, and Thank. We're going to look at expressions we use to show we're listening, expressions to apologize, expressions that can help us solve problems, and expressions to thank customers.
Okay, so the first step when a customer has a problem is to listen. So, the first thing you should do is find out what the problem is. You can ask them: "What seems to be the problem?" or "How can I help you?" Okay? Once they start explaining what the problem is, very important that you look like you're actually listening and that you do listen. Okay? So, you shouldn't look at your watch: "Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm." Okay? That's a bad idea. You shouldn't look at the sky: "Uh, when is this person going to stop talking?" Okay? You shouldn't roll your eyes. Okay? No, no, no. You need to show that you actually care about what the customer is saying.
So, showing you're listening is very important. You can repeat back to the customer what they're saying to show that you understand and to make sure that you did understand. So: "So what you're saying is, you know, there's no hot water in this hotel.", "So what you're saying is the Wi-Fi's not working and you're not happy with that." Okay? These are some examples. "So what you're saying is _________." You can also say: "Let me get this right..." "Let me get this right, what you're saying is that, you know, there's a problem at your table.", "What you're saying is that you've been waiting for your food for a really long time." So it's important to show that you are listening and you acknowledge what they have said.
Okay. Now, sometimes with customer service you get a customer who's very angry, and maybe they start swearing, they start using very bad language. Okay? So if this happens, very important that you don't get upset. Okay? When this happened to me in the past, I would actually pretend to be a computer. I would not take anything personally. I would just smile and pretend to be a computer, and that's how I got through angry customers. So, if the person is rude... You know, it's not right if somebody is saying something rude to you, if they're swearing at you, or they're making you feel uncomfortable. So, be polite. Okay?

In my 25 years of customer service experience, I've found that when I have a customer that's a little upset, telling them to "calm down" is great a way of making them *VERY* upset.

True Danielsan B but I think she is referring to be able to deliver such expression or technique in a very positive, sincere and caring tone so that it works to your benefit, just saying "please calm down so I can help you" if not delivered perfectly will absolutely backfire....believe me after 30+ years on the phone I am still learning....

i would replace apologise with Acknowledge because you should not be sorry for something that isn't in your control. e.g ' Sorry for the long wait' to be replaced with 'thank you for waiting' it's always much more positive.

I see what you mean and this what I thought of also. But In my opinion this is not always the best thing to do. Although before I keep on I will say that in life yes you should definitely do that I’m all for it. But ok let me keep on So I would say it’s not always good to say that is because in a lot of situations if you make the customer feel like they’re “better than you” or like they’re are” worth more” than you That can easily calm them down very lokey cuz they feel highly respected and it can make the situation more positive obviously But yes if in a subtle situation like they’re not mad at all and it won’t make the situation worse then yes definitely flip the the perspective and make it positive. Anyways I’m done and hope you have an amazing rest of you day/night 😁

@@suwili5587 u know here’s an example hopefully it’s good lol So basically if a customer is mad about a price of an item like it might be way higher then they expected or let’s say there was a sale and it ended a day ago but the employees haven’t taken the signs off yet and the customer is like: “hey I thought there’s a sale and I don’t wanna pay that much” So first of all there’s better way to solve that (like just actually giving them the discount) But if u can’t do that and there’s other option So u just say “sorry, ya *u are totally right * it’s so weird that we still have the signs up” And u see I put those stars there it’s bcuz that’s the key phrase when they’re right and u let them know they’re right it can make them feel extremely better and a lot of times u are right and the customer is wrong but the customer is still very mad then usually that can help too By just establishing that they’re RIGHT And ya it can be something similar like that u can obviously change up the line according to the situation. Ok I’m done let me know if u didn’t understand anything or if u would like to talk about this more I’m happy to talk about with u over Instagram dm if u want. Btw this just my experience and opinion I’m not an expert at customer service YET lol😁

Also, they should not refer "Your" language as a concern, or else the customer will feel attacked. Also you should never refer a problem from a customer, but as a concern. The customer themselves thinks it is a problem because they don't know how the situation can be worked out. but if you implement steps on how you will help the concerned customer and TOUCH BASE. the customer will listen more attentively. Also let them know you understand where they may be coming from. and explain WHY you understand where they are coming from. They need the reissuance from us as employees to know that we know where they are coming from. They do not want to look as a nuisance when coming to our attention about a concern, if anything sometimes customers lash out as a form of nerves because they dont know how to handle the situation. Its not right for a customer to feel that burden of thinking they have to handle the situation, all because they've had bad experiences with customer service. It is our job as employees to not have a chip on our shoulder and really understand where the customer is coming from. I feel bad for customers and I used to do customer service. its not right at all that we all have this wall up with the employee and customer. I'm for the customer, and I know for a fact the customer is right. But the customer is right, when the employee is right, with the right mindset to give a mutual relationship with a customer.

One thing that Target taught me (when I was working there) is call customers, *guests* . A customer sounds just like another number walking in the store whereas a *guest* sounds like its an honor to have them. Idk, it's just something I've always remembered. It's helped with my current BestBuy Geek Squad job for sure. Also, this video helps!! *Listen* to them, *Apologize* for the bad experience, *Solve* their problem to the best of your ability, and *Thank* them for coming in. Got it down ✊

In a subliminal way, this video is actually great because it's generated so much conflict of opinion, personal stories and ethics in these comments that one could simply piece together the whole customer service world and learn from it. How much you learn from it of course, depends on how dedicated you are to customer service and how willing you are to absorb constructive information. Golden rule no. 1. Be the customer

Kindness: A thing we have been loosing over the time and its value has been getting smaller and smaller, but we do really love when we are treated with kindness. When someone asumes the identity of a kind person, even the voice, the face will reflect it. It is really hard to be rude to someone that is kind to you. So, to get the result of this L.A.S.T. approach, it is a good idea to master the arts of being kind. Thanks for reading.

People in the comments should understand that there is no solid bullet-proof approach some of her points are indeed proven and tested. Some we may disagree with, so it's best to have your own personalized strategy! I'm practicing re-direction I let angry customers vent out because we humans are emotional beings it's natural and valid to be mad at times, but re-focus, re-direct the situation be persistent with it, if the customer keeps interrupting then explain it to them, a bit of cooperation and understanding will make it easier for both parties.

I have resolved issues of many angry customers in the past, by saying THANK YOU for sharing your issue with us.. usually they love you if you can empathize them and they calm down super fast. Coz you play one team and they love being supported even before you provide them the real solution ❤ when we are professionals we are naturally trained to not let negativity in or sweap our emotions along with it. Being like a heartless computer would not really help. Thats pretty bad advice. 😊 thats why humans are needed in this field atleast until AI robots take over every job in the near future

Horrible advice!!! Obviously this is from a script not experiential. 1. Never allow language to prevent you from hearing a customer. The way to deescalate a highly concerned consumer is by allow them to vent as quickly as possible. If you maintain a calm, non threatening posture and tone they will ordinarily feel they need to calm down. 2. Never say CALM DOWN! With a person that is escalated the way I typed calm down is how they hear it. But the words they hear are You’re crazy sir/ma’am 3. In the case of a company mistake it is absolutely imperative to accept responsibility. When you say things like I’m sorry you feel that way it’s very likely they interpret that as you subtly implying that they’re again- crazy. If it’s not your fault as you realize you shift to statements such as; well let me see exactly what happened in this situation. What aisle did you say the price for that product was in? Or do you remember the representative that indicated what you described as our policy? Etc. You have to be subtle in pointing out the misunderstanding by exposing the truth not by contention. 4. The LAST acronym does not include enough of the thought processes involved in deescalating a highly concerned customer or even a mildly concerned customer for that matter. You should; (a) listen (b) repeat what you heard to agree on the language. Express your understanding of the matter after repeating the words you heard expressed verbally. This is also buying you time to deescalate and assuring the customer you intend to help. (c) critically think through a viable solution. If the dynamics of the situation are unfamiliar you may want to legitimize their concern by empathizing then asking if they can hold for one minute while you contact a senior employee or manager to assist in the resolution (d) resolve; either personally based on your base of knowledge or by proxy through the management. 4. Never say I’m here to help you. He customer knows you work for the company and it sounds condescending to chide with a concerned customer by pointing out your job in such a coy manner. It’s more effective to say something along the lines of; in understand this is upsetting and as a customer I may feel the same way, but I’m going to take as much time as is needed to help you resolve the concern. This advice above is sure to escalate the customer and ultimately have you arguing with a customer, having to go get a manager when you may have been able to assist/resolve and losing you a customer through a bad customers experience twice; the original problem and the problem the customer then has with you. Not to mention it costs the company double for the manager to have to resolve issues customer service should be fully equipped to manage.

I do not agree with the statement that the customer is always right but I do believe that we can always treat customers the right way. The right way is through love and sacrifice.

Thanks for your video. It was eye opening and useful. I have learned a few things from my many years experience as a hair dresser and deli clerk. I am not saying the approach used here is necessarily the wrong approach. I don't think it's a good idea to be too direct with an angry customer. It's probably not a good idea to tell someone to calm down or state that their language is keeping you from helping them, adding fuel to the fire. A customer with a huge problem may take offense to this.I do agree with the computer analogy. What I might do is smile and act like the computer. Skip use statements to "calm down and stop using harsh language" ECT. Instead jump right into apologizing. If one is unable to assist then get the manager. The manager should always be the last resort. I have learned that the smile and friendly greeting helps a lot in these situations. Also prior to having the customer approach you with their problem, be sure to acknowledge them verbally or non verbally. (If they are waiting in line) Angry people hate to wait and hate being ignored. Keep up the good work!

This was very helpful. An aunt of a graduated student went onto social media to complain about our school, that her niece wasn't recognized with an award (she was, with multiple awards at that) because of the situation (multiple former families speaking badly about the school) and they were getting out of hand, as school secretary I had to say something. I said I saw that she was upset, I apologized , and I said if there was anything I could do to remedy the situation... unfortunately though these are people who were looking for something to complain about, but it was necessary to say SOMETHING.

Most people don't know what customer service is. The customer is always right: No matter how confused, angry, indecisive. They provide the custom. The retailer relies on their custom. Without the customer the retailer has no business. A lot of retailers are pigs & think that the customer owes them a living. Not at all. Customer service as mentioned above relies on repeat custom of the customer. So if the retailer treats the customer as if the retailer has a chip on their shoulder then the customer will go elsewhere. Quite simple really.

Saying 'so what you're saying is' and 'let me get this right' would be considered quite rude and snappy here in England, I mean I would never say that anyway, but then again English people are often classed as 'too polite'

If the customer is upset over the phone say things like.. I hear your upset, allow me to see what I can do to help. Or.. I apologize for the inconvenience. Let me gather your information and then ask name... * Always tell the caller what you CAN do. ****Then use words that are positive phrasing such as .. Unfortunately... I wish I could... That is a good question! Let me find out. ( place them on hold to ask manager) We need to..
