原汁原味商務英語播客 第41課:處理客戶的抱怨(1)

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.
好的客戶服務在任何行業中都是取得成功的必要因素，尤其是在服務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。因爲服務對於“招待”行業十分重要，旅館是尋找優質服務的好地方。

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。通過服務行業中一個好的例子和壞的例子，我們要學習在很多行業中有用的技巧，無論你是處理內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。同感類似於同情——那意味着對顧客的不滿表示理解。
