Event Description
Customer complaints are inevitable — but losing customers doesn’t have to be.
This Complaint Handling Skills 1 Day Workshop is designed to help customer-facing professionals confidently manage complaints, difficult conversations, and emotionally charged situations. Participants will learn practical techniques to resolve issues effectively, reduce conflict, and turn unhappy customers into loyal advocates.
In today’s digital world, one negative experience can quickly become a public review. That’s why organisations must equip their teams with the right skills, mindset, and communication strategies to handle complaints professionally and consistently.
This highly interactive workshop focuses on:
• Understanding why complaints are valuable to business growth
• Building empathy and emotional intelligence
• Managing hostile or abusive customers calmly
• Applying a structured complaint resolution framework (AURA approach)
• Communicating with confidence under pressure
• Turning customer dissatisfaction into positive outcomes
Through group discussions, case studies, simulations, and role-play exercises, participants gain hands-on experience and real-world tools they can apply immediately in the workplace.
