Okay folks, I've got one more day in which to complete a 1 day training event centered on 'Dealing with Difficult Situations and Customer Complaints', which has to be delivered in a week's time to groups of 12 people.

The whole event has a Japanese theme and is based on the martial art of Aikido, but that's not too important to my problem

I've basically written the whole thing, but am just missing two exercises that need to reinforce two of the key points.

Message 1 - You don't have to win
The message here is that you should be giving the customer options, finding solutions that are suitable for the customer, the company and the advisor, and only hanging up on the customer if they are extrememly aggressive and the advisor is unable to calm the situation after several warnings.

So I need an exercise which embodies either:
a) giving the customer options
b) finding solutions that suit the customer, company and advisor

Message 2 - Forming a partnership
The message here is that you should be working together with the customer to find a solution, not giving all the work to them, and not taking the full responsibility yourself.

Exercises here should embody:
a) team building
b) team prblem solving

I've spent the last 2 weeks writing two full modules and now I've gone blind and brain dead.
Anyone got any ideas for exercises.

I will reward you with points from the bank of Ninja_kid, these points can be spent in all participating stores.

I'd love to help as I always woe over seeing fellow bf2'ers in their hour of need.

But how the feck you going to bring Aikido into this, threaten it on them in a joking kind of way in the hope the customer removes the complaint ie, "Look sir, you either bacdafucup or I will open a can of Aikido on your ass and you don't want that" but to reassure them quickly laugh down the phone "Ho, ho, ho", yep, just like Santa would.

a Solution to Part 1 (b) Would be offer the grumpy twat a discount so that he will shop again, that way keeping everyone happy.

How the fuck you going to start building a team with a fecked off grumpy ol bastard who's goods are faulty.  He wants a new tv, right now, as the game is about to start and your miles away in the store and everyone went home 30 mins ago to watch the game and you can't as Ol Bastard is having a right ol moan down the phone to you.

You could I suppose ask the ol man to go online and check for a simular model he likes the look of, with a discount code and free delivery which keeps everyone happy except the grumpy ol man.  I say Grumpy ol man but I would be the same, good help the delivery men when they return 8am THE VERY NEXT FUKCING MORNING as they are going to get bollocked off me, I dont care if they didnt make the faulty TV, I missed the game. Red sox vs Blue sox or something, I dunno.

Have a look at this and I'm sure all will become clear
