101 Habits of an Effective Complainer - Helen Dewdney
1
Keeping calm
This is probably the hardest habit of all! You want, wherever possible, to write, not do things in person or on the phone, so you have the evidence and it’s easier to keep calm.
However, sometimes you need to phone or complain in person. When this is the case, keep your voice level consistent. Concentrate on this and you won’t accidentally go up a level and it will focus your mind, giving you time to think and be assertive.
EXAMPLE
Yup! I don’t have patience and I can lose my cool very quickly! On every occasion where I have had to phone someone and they start to annoy me, I get louder! And the trouble is, I have a loud voice anyway, so I just get louder! I walk away wishing I had said something differently or added something. Isn’t it always the way?
2
Practice
Take on a few simple complaints to get you started. Do this for friends and family, as well as for yourself.
Easy wins on these will give you the confidence to take on more complex cases.
EXAMPLE
Consumers have often said to me that they have never complained and just don’t know where to start. This means that when a big problem comes they really struggle. Had they practiced and complained about the poor service in the restaurant or the kettle that didn’t last a reasonable length of time, they would have a better idea and feel more confident too.
3
Give compliments too
When a staff member has given over and above what could be considered acceptable good service, write to the company to recognise the person for their good work.
This keeps things balanced for you, so that you are not always just complaining. It will make you feel good, is a bit of pay it forward
and you’ll feel more justified when you write to complain.
EXAMPLE
Yes, because it really does stop you complaining unnecessarily and being seen as negative. Today, whilst writing this book I thanked and complimented a bank for dealing my query effectively and efficiently.
