Introduction

Dealing with a complaint in an attentive and satisfactory way could turn a dissatisfied customer into your most loyal, long-term fan.

A negative review and the exasperated rant of an unhappy customer in all likelihood was preceded by an unsuccessful complaint. Mostly an honest response, a sincere apology, and/or a refund may have appeased the anger of the dissatisfied customer. Arguably a small price to pay for being spared the detrimental consequences of a poor review.
