  • Workshop Overview

    Defusing Irate Members

    The financial impact of successfully interacting with irate members is extremely significant. A research report by Khoros revealed 83% of customers agree that they feel more loyal to brands that respond and resolve their complaints. Additional research conducted by the Harvard Business Review reveals dissatisfied customers are primarily looking for empathy when they use negative or angry tones. Moreover, successfully handling irate customers results in an 8x likelihood a customer would spend more money with the company.

    With that reality in mind, one of the most critical skills for employees to master is effectively handling irate members. But it is challenging for most employees to deal with this type of contact unless they are given the skills to do so successfully. ServiStar’s own research, conducted in partnership with the Filene Research institute reveals most credit union employees are those who are likely to avoid conflict by freezing or fleeing from it. So leaders must provide the necessary skills if we desire and expect our employees to be become confident and successful in these stressful situations.

    Who Is This For

  • Any employee who interacts with members.
