It is just simply a fact that in the business world, as with in life, you may not be able to please all of the people all of the time.  Bad luck, mistakes, or problems in even the finest of run establishments will occur and my leave someone dissatisfied.  It is also true that many people will not write a letter to a business about the great experiences they had, but many will write formal complaints when they are not happy.

Some companies will go on, disregarding the complaints as sometimes these can be very trying times.  However, situations like these when handled properly and with sincerity will in many cases, serve to win customers and to make the business stronger for it.  As Steve Barbarich knows from his own experience wherein he was dissatisfied and the the situation was not handled correctly, good customer service will win in the end.  Letters are one of the most common ways of customers expressing their grievance.  Some see this is the most formal approach, while others feel the safety of the distance that a letter allows.  This form will actually give you time to think about the best way to handle the situation and to be thoroughly organized with your response.

Another common form is when the customer speaks directly to an employee.  Having a well trained staff, knowledgeable in the service industry will ensure that these kinds of situations are rectified quickly and efficiently.  And as with the face to face interactions, dealing with a customer over the phone will not allow you the time to plan your response, but with well trained staff these issues will often times be worked out quickly.  These are not the most comfortable of situations in the customer service industry,  but they are the end.  They provide you with an opportunity to fix it, and save the customer.
