ESCAPE

IMPOSTOR!

START

ALERT! ALERT!

An alien has entered our ship and is trying to replace the crew. We need to know what body he is in and expel him before he takes control of everyone. We cannot return to Earth until we are sure that he is not one of us!

IMPOSTOR!

ESCAPE

With your nerves you have forgotten the password to close the main hatch of the ship. Answer the security questions correctly to close it!

CLOSE THE DOOR

GO!

Interrupt them to give a solution.

Match their anger with your own.

Listen until they finish before providing a solution.

What should you do if a customer is venting their frustration to you?

Answer correctly

CLOSE THE DOOR

NEXT

When you let an angry customer vent their feelings, here’s the essential part: give them your full attention. For one, you’ll deplete their energy like some sort of jiu-jitsu master. Ideally they need to vent all their anger in one burst, after which you can focus on the solution.

Answer correctly

CLOSE THE DOOR

If a customer is complaining to you, you should only engage with them if your company is genuinely at fault. Is this true or false?

You are not really sorry.

Saying sorry doesn't involve the customer or allow them to forgive you.

The customer is the one who should be sorry.

Foul language should not be tolerated. What can you do if a customer is being verbally abusive?

NEXT

No one should have to put up with foul language or abuse from a customer. If you find yourself in this situation, you’re totally within your rights to interrupt. The last part is important. You need them to confirm that they understand. If the caller’s behaviour does not change, you should be very clear about what will happen if they continue.

Feedback

Point out to the crew member who is NOT telling the truth

Dwell on it for a long time and hope it doesn't happen again.

Take a short break, or chat with a colleague to distance yourself from the situation.

It's never about who's right, it's always about proving them wrong.

SEE YOU ON EARTH!

Now you are the impostor ...
