Damage Control - Difficult People and Situations Series

An excellent case study of a major product delivery disaster and a very angry client - all superbly managed by the account manager, who demonstrates exceptional service, communication, problem solving, and leadership skills.

In this case study, Tash is faced with an angry customer, a quality problem and a team who must learn from mistakes.

This is broken down into four informative sections:

Part 1: The Problem Anne is furious about the inferior quality of a recent delivery. Tash, the account manager, takes responsibility, listens and apologizes, and commits to solving the problem quickly.

Part 2: Resolving the Problem Tash investigates the problem internally - without blame, and leads the team to implement a quick solution.

Part 3: Updating the Client Tash keeps the client informed and outlines the full solution, again apologizing.
