On demand | Webinar | Handling complaints

With Trevor Slater

On demand | Online
“Enjoyable and relevant, practical content”

Everyone, one day, will have a complaint made to them. It may be a small one or something of a serious nature. When this happens, it can be very challenging to know what steps to take and how to resolve the complaint. How you react at that time will determine a good or a poor outcome.

In this webinar Trevor discusses:

  • Your first reaction when a complaint is received
  • What people want when they complain
  • A simple step-by-step complaint process
  • The importance of establishing ‘what’ the client wants
  • Why changing perspective can make all the difference
  • The ‘Mum Test’
  • An example of a poor process and the ramifications
  • Communicating to get your message through

The content of this webinar is useful for anyone practising as a dispute resolver, whether facilitative or determinative.
