Жалоба — это подарок

by Janelle Barlow, Claus Møller, Джанелл Барлоу

The first edition of A Complaint is a Gift introduced the revolutionary notion that customer complaints are not annoyances to be dodged, denied or buried, but are instead valuable pieces of feedback that can be used to improve an organization's products and services. This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated. There are two brand new chapters on the Internet, a new section entitled Handling Complaints Directed at You and another new section that turns the tables and discusses how the reader can complain effectively. More relevant than ever in today's constantly connected world, when customers can complain instantly, 24/7, and broadcast their dissatisfaction around the world if they choose to, throughout the text has been heavily revised, with a wealth of new examples, tools and strategies.

Кращі цитати та нотатки:

"Вважається, що від одного до чотирьох відсотків клієнтів систематично намагаються шахраювати."

"У жодному разі не ставте під сумнів чесність "клієнта", але попросіть надати вам копію рахунку чи більше інформації, щоб ви могли перевірити свої дані."

"Восьмикрокова формула: (1) Скажіть "Дякую" (2) Поясніт, чому ви цінуєте відгук клієнта (3) Вибачтеся за свою помилку (4) Пообіцяйте негайно щось зробити для розв'язання проблем. Візьміть на себе відповідальність. (5) Розпитайте, щоб отримати всю потрібну інформацію (6) Швидко виправте помилку (7) Переконайтесь, що клієнт задоволений (8) Подбайте про те, щоб уникнути схожих помилок у майбутньому"

"Усмішку чутно навіть по телефону"

"Людям, знайомим із термінологією транзакційної психології, відомо, що раціональне мислення називають "дорослим типом". Питання "вмикають" раціональну частину свідомості. Здебільшого три питання поспіль виведуть людину з емоційного стану та активують кору головного мозку, що сприятиме раціональності думок."

"Критика - це дрібниця в масштабах вашого життя. Сприймайте комилки як неминучу частину навчання. Найбільша перепона на шляху до розвитку - це віра в те, що ви вже все знаєте. Ви не знаєте й ніколи не знатимете."

"Сім кроків до ефективних скарг: (1) Чітко пояснюйте, чим ви не задоволені (2) Будьте вічливими (3) Будьте реалістами й говоріть конкретно (4) Скажіть, чого вам варті ці незручності й на що ви очікуєте (5) Зробіть конструктивні пропозиції (6) Подякуйте людині за допомогу (7) Дайте компанії ще один шанс"

Not a heavy read at all. Sort of like a couple of people breezily discussing complaints. But the point of view they suggest is really common sense. Embrace complaints. Listen to what people tell you. They are suggesting to your business how you can improve. Most people will simply go elsewhere and say nothing.

It really crystallized my thinking that businesses should listen to complaints. You don't have to read the whole book, but the first two chapters were very very helpful for me!

Хорошая дельная книга. Будет полезна для прочтения любому человеку, который по роду деятельности много общается с людьми (не обязательно с покупателями).
Учит нас как слышать и быть услышанными.

хороша книга з основами, але доволі застріла в плані подачі інфо.

[TarasProkopyuk · Rating 4 out of 5]

Очень важная тема и очень хорошая и правильная бизнес книга.

Кто ещё не понимает насколько важно создать такую среду в компании, при которой поощряется всех её клиентов, партнёров и сотрудников оставлять жалобы, и при этом воспринимать их действительно как подарок, а не просто «потому что так надо», тот делает большую ошибку. Авторы книги последовательно объяснят почему жалобы так важны для бизнеса, покажут истинные её ценности, и объяснят как, зачем и почему надо внедрять в компании целую программу по их сбору и обработке.

В книге не просто теория, а также много примеров из практики и опыта авторов, много советов, методических рекомендаций, технологии и инструменты для внедрения новых знаний в существенные выгоды для предприятий.

хороша книга, яка дає розуміння того, як забезпечити якісний сервіс;
скарги чи то конструктивна критика грає важливу роль як в розвитку організації, так і в особистому розвитку;
"що краще ви вмітимете задовільнити індивідуальні потреби незадоволених клієнтів, то ймовірніше збережете їх та отримуватимете їхні зауваження, коли щось ітиме не так. ... не від скигліїв, а від клієнтів, які хочуть зробити вашу компанію кращою, бажають зберегти стосунки з вами."

(The English review is placed beneath the Russian one)

Для многих людей эта книга не станет ни открытием, ни чем-то заметным среди прочих книг по маркетингу. Но для меня эта книга является одной из лучших книг по маркетингу. И не потому, что мне было так увлекательно читать её, а благодаря важности рассматриваемого вопроса. Плюс, это книга стала первой, которая затрагивает только одну тему и этой темой является важность клиентского опыта при взаимодействии с компанией.

Сегодня о клиентоориентированности не говорит только ленивый (маркетолог). Однако ирония в том, что ни тогда, когда книга только вышла, ни сейчас компании не следуют этому правилу. В том смысле, что компании стараются это делать, а кто-то даже требует (правда, лишь на бумаге), но со всей серьёзностью к этому вопросу мало кто подходит. Да, кого не спроси, все компании в один голос говорят, что удовлетворение клиента является их главным приоритетом. Вот хотя бы взять авиакомпании. Все они только и талдычат о «клиент – наш главный приоритет». Но если ты ещё не вступил на борт самолёта или уже сошёл с трапа, компания не очень-то и будет слушать жалобы такого клиента или идти на какие-то жертвы. Получается, что для таких компаний клиент, конечно, означается «всё», но только если его желания не выходя за строго и чётко очерченные рамки. Если полагается стакан воды, то ничего выходящее за эти рамки компания уже не сделает. И так во всех индустриях. На словах компании обещают наилучший сервис, который только и может клиент себе представить, а в реальности, в лучшем случаи, если обслужат без промедлений и ошибок. Не все компании так поступают, но скорее проще сказать, какие компании так не поступают. И что-то мне подсказывает, что это будут компании из премиум категории. Компании типа Rolex, BMW, Chanel и пр.

Так почему эта книга так важна? А потому, что вся посвящена именно тому, что все компании должны стремиться не к формальному удовлетворению клиентов (даже если клиент просит услугу сверх меры), а к фактическому. Авторы пишут, что во многих случаях проблема заключается не в каких-то дополнительных крупных затратах, а в довольно небольших. Иногда это бывает просто проявление внимания или признание вины, если оговоренная услуга не была выполнена или выполнена неподходящим способом. Если номер в отеле клиент считает грязным, то не стоит спорить, а лучше извиниться и предложить клиенту другой номер и возможно даже, более роскошный, чем тот, что был изначально заказан. Многие ли компании пойдут на такой шаг? Немногие. Увлечение философией снижения издержек всего и вся не только не даёт возможности для реализации такой политики, но и может создать условия, когда даже основной сервис будет предоставлен не подобаемого качества. Да, дополнительные услуги содержат дополнительные издержки, но в то же время их можно рассматривать как вариант рекламы, ведь после этого клиент с большой вероятностью снова обратиться в компанию и возможно даже приведёт с собой других клиентов. Так что в данном случаи такой клиент может быть использован в качестве устной рекламы. Это не 100% вероятность, но шанс определённо есть.

А что будет, если поступить в точности наоборот? А вот тогда компания точно получит бывшего клиента, опасность которого не в том, что он больше не воспользуется услугами вашей компании, а в том, что он будет на каждом шагу говорить какая вы плохая компания, какой отвратительный у вас сервис и сделает всё возможное и невозможное, чтобы о вашей компании узнало максимальное количество людей и не с самой лучшей стороны. Часто такие клиенты могут даже что-то и приукрасить. Беда с такими клиентам состоит в том, что невозможно просчитать какие усилия они решат затратить. В книге приводится пример, когда была создана целая чёрная PR-кампания с участием небольших СМИ. Да, до определённого уровня даже крупная атака таких бывших клиентов не принесёт серьёзного ущерба, но если конкурентов много и предлагается не сильно отличаемый друг от друга товар или услуга, то, что тогда? Вот тогда такие экс-клиенты могут серьёзно потрепать нервы. Не крупному бизнесу типа Amazon, хотя и там количество может перейти в качество, но среднему и тем более мелкому бизнесу. Именно поэтому я считаю, что эта одна из важнейших книг всего маркетинга. Это не академическая книга, тут нет серьёзных и крупных исследований, но тут есть важное объяснение того, что может серьёзно подорвать многие виды бизнеса. Об это нужно просто знать и помнить в своей повседневной деятельности.

Книга не предлагает список рекомендаций, но она очень хорошо объясняет, почему любую жалобу компания просто обязана рассматривать как подарок, т.е. как позитивную обратную связь, а не негативную. Как правильно пишут авторы, многие компании негласно дают понять своим сотрудникам, что жалобы не стоит принимать, и что чем меньше жалоб сотрудники будут доставлять руководству, тем лучше. На самом деле, это катастрофический подход, это крайне опасный выбор реагирования, ибо может создать для компании множество невидимых внешних врагов которые будут пострашнее её главных конкурентов.

В общем, главное достоинство книги, помимо того, что она хорошо написана, состоит в том, что она обеспечивает читателя важным видением бизнеса, т.е. после прочтения книги уже трудно будет смотреть на любой бизнес по старинке. Таких книг на самом деле мало, т.е. которые давали бы не теории и не список советов, но новое видением того, как должен функционировать бизнес, если он хочет быть успешным.

For many people, this book will not be a breakthrough or something notable among other books on marketing. But for me, this book is one of the best books on marketing. It' not because I found it so fascinating to read, but because of the importance of the subject matter at hand. Plus, this book was the first one that addresses only one topic, and that topic is the importance of the customer experience when one interacts with a company.

Today, only a lazy man (a marketer) doesn't talk about being customer-oriented. But the irony is that neither when the book first came out nor now do companies follow this rule. In the sense that companies are trying to do it, and some even require it (although only on paper), but very few take it seriously. No matter whom you ask, all companies unanimously say that customer satisfaction is their top priority. Take airline companies, for example. They're all just babbling about, "the customer is our top priority." But if you haven't even boarded the plane yet or if you've already stepped off the plane, the company's not going to listen to that customer's complaints. It turns out that for such companies, the client means "everything," but only if his desires do not go beyond strict and well-defined limits. If you are entitled to a glass of water, then the company will not do anything beyond that. And so it is in all industries. Companies promise the best service a customer can imagine, but in reality, it's best if they serve without delay or error. Not all companies do this, but it's easier to say which ones don't. And something tells me it's going to be premium companies like Rolex, BMW, Chanel, etc.

So why is this book so important? Because the whole thing is about the very fact that all companies should strive not for formal customer satisfaction, but actual one (even if the client asks for extra service). The authors write that, in many cases, the problem is not any additional costs but rather small ones. Sometimes it is simply a sign of attention or an admission of guilt if an agreed service has not been performed or performed in an inappropriate manner. If a client thinks a hotel room is dirty, you should not argue, but rather apologize and offer the client another room. And perhaps even more luxurious than the one that was originally booked. How many companies would take such a step? Not many. A passion for the philosophy of reducing the cost of everything and everywhere not only makes it impossible to implement such a policy but can create conditions in which even basic service will not be provided with the appropriate quality. Yes, additional services contain additional costs, but at the same time, they can be seen as advertising because, after that, the client is likely to come back to the company and may even bring other customers. So, in this case, such a client can be used as a word-of-mouth advertisement. It's not 100% likely, but there is definitely a chance.

What happens if you do the opposite? At that point, the company is sure to get a former customer, the danger of which is not that he will no longer use the services of your company, but that he will at every step to say what a bad company you are, what a terrible service you provide and will do everything possible to make your company known to the maximum number of people and not the best side. Often such clients can even exaggerate things. The trouble with such clients is that it is impossible to calculate the effort they decide to put in. The book gives an example of when a black PR campaign involving small media was created. Yes, up to a certain level, even a major attack by such ex-customers will not cause serious damage, but if there are many competitors and the product or service offered is not very different from each other, then what then? That's when such ex-customers can really get on your nerves. Not for big businesses like Amazon, although even there, quantity can turn into quality, for medium and even more so for small businesses. That's why I think this is one of the most important books of all marketing. It is not an academic book, there is no serious and major research, but there is an important explanation of what can seriously undermine many businesses. You just have to be aware of this and remember it in your day-to-day activities.

The book does not offer a list of recommendations, but it does explain very well why any complaint should be treated by the company as a gift, i.e., as positive feedback rather than a negative one. As the authors correctly write, many companies implicitly let their employees know that complaints should not be accepted and that the fewer complaints employees deliver to management, the better. In fact, this is a disastrous approach; it is an extremely dangerous choice of response because it can create a host of invisible external enemies for a company that will be scarier than its main competitors.

In general, the main advantage of the book, besides the fact that it is well written, is that it provides the reader with an important vision of a business, i.e., after reading the book, it will be difficult to look at any business the old-fashioned way. There are few such books, i.e., ones that provide not theories and not a list of advice, but a new vision of how a business should function if it is to be successful.

A very insightful book about how to get the most value for your customer’s complains

The book gets interesting since the vey beginning. Excellent approach explaining why is so important to be receptive to what our customers are saying about our product or service. Also I found very useful the procedure to manage a complete system for the complaints attention. Everybody that is involve and committed to provide a service of excellence must read this master piece. And as customers also is a very resourceful reference to learn how to complain get a better answer from the providers.

To have a successful company, department, etc. valuing, responding to and learning from customer's complaints is a must. Sadly, most companies either don't understand this partnership, or they handle it poorly. This book is very insightful though a bit dated now that many companies are handling customer interactions via social media. Regardless, it is still a solid resource if you are looking to build a winning customer service strategy.

[Alberto Lopez · Rating 5 out of 5]

A must read for any and all customer service representatives. Their managers should read it too. In fact, every one in the company should take the time to absorb this great book. It is full of valuable insights and statistics.

Janelle Barlow and her new book feel like remedies for an increasingly sardonic, unpleasant hellscape. Granted, some could say such a proclamation is oxymoronic, given the fact Barlow’s book is about how to improve communication techniques with customer bases and for some is a de facto defense of the corporate jungle. But the messaging is universal, and regardless of one’s views on where it’s being implemented, it’s nice to see a sunny, upbeat, competently written book about a trend blurring personal and professional boundaries, hence redefining what it is to go to work in a postmodernist context. This is especially indicative in Barlow’s choice of marketing, down to the book’s officiated christening - A Complaint is a Gift, the subtitle reading How to Learn from Critical Feedback and Recover Customer Loyalty. There’s no denying outside of Barlow’s actual content and communicatory style, she displays time and again a sense of wit and awareness - making the read extremely enjoyable not just on an intellectual level, but a visceral one as well. “Today’s customers are in the driver’s seat. The amount of information and technology they have at their disposal enables them to easily switch from one virtual retailer to another, one local supplier to a different online global supplier, one service provider to another possibly operating in the same neighborhood. And they can let thousands know online exactly what happened if they don’t like the way they were treated by the retailer, supplier, or service provider,” Barlow writes at the beginning of the third edition. “Furthermore, they don’t have to tell you why they switched to another company when they are dissatisfied. The good news is that if customers tell just one person in your company or post a complaint online, they are providing a direct pathway for you to use to keep them. It will also give you a way to gain information that could help you improve your business. And that is a gift.”

“What are complaints?” she adds. “They are customer statements about expectations that have not been met. In this book, you will find this definition used multiple times, sometimes in slightly different ways, but it always describes dissatisfied customers. Dissatisfaction varies from customer to customer, making it difficult to have one solution to create satisfied customers who arrived with a complaint…One of the most potent realities about complaints is customers will accept many mistakes—as long as service representatives handle their complaints positively. Fix the problem, for sure, but do it with emotional intelligence, and you will likely get customers who come back and sing your praises. Fix the problem without any human connection, and you may lose customers permanently or at least not get full cooperation from them. This requires a mindset that pivots on whether you and your entire team think about complaints as gifts.”

The idea of pitching the concept of the customer complaint as a gift may make some grit their teeth. But climb the ladder through the various corporate and service industry echelons, and it proves to be an undeniable tenet of the quid pro quo relationship customer loyalty rests upon. Like death and taxes, it’s a natural part of industry, and a critical aspect upon which one must remain aware of.

Grade: A-
