Good customer service is essential to success in any industry, but it is particularly important in the service and hospitality sector. “Hospitality” means treating guests well; and here, we’re talking specifically about hotels. Because service is so vital to hospitality, hotels are a good place to look for excellent service practices.
好的客戶服務(wù)在任何行業(yè)中都是取得成功的必要因素,尤其是在服務(wù)和招待部門更加重要。“招待”也就是要款待好顧客,此處我們要特別談到旅館。因為服務(wù)對于“招待”行業(yè)十分重要,旅館是尋找優(yōu)質(zhì)服務(wù)的好地方。
So today we’ll be listening in on a phone call from an angry customer at the Majestic, a five-star hotel in Shanghai. By listening to a bad example and a good example of service practice, we’ll be studying skills that are useful in any industry, no matter whether you are dealing with internal or external customers.
所以今天我們聽下來自一位在上海五星級酒店Majestic憤怒乘客的抱怨電話。通過服務(wù)行業(yè)中一個好的例子和壞的例子,我們要學習在很多行業(yè)中有用的技巧,無論你是處理內(nèi)部顧客的抱怨還是外來顧客的抱怨。
We’ll see that a very important part of handling angry customers is showing empathy: Empathy is similar to sympathy – it means showing that you understand the customer’s pain.
今天來看下處理憤怒顧客的重要部分:表示同感。同感類似于同情——那意味著對顧客的不滿表示理解。
