This sounds ridiculously simple, right? Think again.
Eight out of ten phone calls, retail interactions and service calls begin with prescribing a solution to a customer before the customer need is really listened to, understood and validated.
The beginning of an interaction can be the time when customers will want to vent. Let them. Customers want validation. Listen and then repeat to the customer what they said. If your customer is not in dire straits, good results will follow.

Internalize what customers need and use that knowledge to drive an outcome that is right for them.
