The Power of a Complaint Letter Every business hungers to be successful. Businesses want to put their best foot forward, and their best product to the consumer. However, on occasion, people become upset or disappointed when the product or service does not reach expectation. In this case, businesses often receive the dreaded complaint letter from customers. The purpose of a complaint letter is to bring a grievance to the attention of an owner or manager of the business, so action can be taken as soon as possible. When writing a complaint letter it is important to include appeals to the audience, structure of the letter, tone, and context. Also keep in mind, that playing into the emotions by usage of ethos, pathos, and logos can positively …show more content…
By being assertive, yet respectful, one can achieve proper settlement. Now that a basic structure is known when writing a complaint letter, one must appeal to the reader by use of logic.
Appealing to logic, or logos, includes both an overall argument and the evidence used to support the argument. To build an effective argument, one must first provide some sort of background information to provide the reader with context as to why the letter is being written in the first place. This was done in the previous paragraph to also show the chain of events in order for the reader to know the timeframe of the situation. In Westergren’s letter, he clearly states why he is upset: “The problem came when these sneakers turned out no different than the last two pairs, and fell apart. I expect quality when making a purchase, especially when spending almost $100 on shoes.” Westergren clearly states his problem, and I feel he plays a little bit into pathos as well by accusing the company of selling low quality materials. Once one has identified their primary arguments, provide supporting evidence such as details as to what happened to the product, how long ago the product was purchased, and were there other products of the same brand that this has also happened to. By explaining this information to them, it can provide the company with the knowledge that it may not have happened to just you, the writer, but other valued customers as well.

Customer complaints have over doubled in the last few years. This shows some big issues in the customer service management. Research which areas customers are most dissatisfied with and support the staff in gaining new skills to meet the customers ever changing needs.
I would like to let all of my employees know that the ultimate goal of our business is customer satisfaction. The negative feedback in today’s world is more serious because of the social media where huge number of people could read the reviews. Back then, it got spread by word of mouth which didn’t have as huge impact as it can be today. The customer rating for Cancun Mexican Grill is three on Yelp.com. The poor customer service could lead customers to become dissatisfied with our restaurant. They may share their experience to others by writing reviews in a social media site or in person. If we provide great customer service, that will encourage them to write good reviews about our restaurant.
Businesses only have a limited amount of funds to their disposal. They must never waste any on customers who complain and are never satisfied. Jayson DeMers states, You only have so much time, money, and energy to dedicate to customer service, or to your business, and an unreasonable customer or client can quickly eat away at the majority of it.” Franchises only have so much to give before their well is empty. When it goes empty, companies depend upon satisfying customers to replenish what's been lost. Furthermore, it's essential that companies direct their attention towards consumers that make purchases. Dissatisfied customers will do the opposite. They'll go thru the hassle of bickering to the employees about the product they bought. Criticize
Recently I have noticed more consumer complaints from poor service, more specially, service mistakes and customer mistreatment. When a mistake occurs, we do not handle customers in a courteous manner. In addition, we play favorites with customers and some of them are not getting the attention they require. To
HR should clearly communicate the policy for raising a grievance (eg informal complaints, written complaints, how complaints may be escalated and estimated timescales). Explain that the organisation values it’s customers and wishes to resolve any problems that may arise. Ensure customers feel assured that their issues will be taken seriously and dealt with confidentially and encourage customers to feedback any issues before they intensify.
I have no recollection of Captain Brad Florence informing me that I was going to receive a non-3 score in a performance evaluation regarding this incident.
A strength of the Public Complaints Commission is that it is multi cultural. This means that at least 2 of the members have an Indigenous background and can understand the specific cultural considerations of their people. Without this sensitivity there would be no way to ensure fairness. A down side to this is that only Indigenous people are represented on the board. Because Canada is so multi cultural a large portion of the population is not represented, which can lead to feelings of discrimination and unfairness from minorities. Another strength of the Public Complaints Commission is that one member has to be a lawyer. This is important to make sure that at least one member of the board understands the legalities of the investigation process.

The government of a country has been understood to be of vital importance for purposes of stability, responsibility, and accountability of the nation. China’s government is no less different from this important context. With the complex structure of China’s government, scholars have argued that the government’s function, with its high favorability rate, is an interesting dynamic that no other country possesses. Although there are many functions that a government should be fulfilling, Teresa Wright, in her book, Party and State in Post-Mao China, examines how China is able to satisfy basic functions of government that she argues is of importance. Wright explains that specific government features have influenced its ability to fulfill their governmental functions. As Wright argues, the main focus of this paper shall be to examine China and its ability in addressing public grievances with emphasis on administrative law. Specifically, the paper shall attempt to answer whether or not the Chinese government is adequately attempting to address public grievances. The aim of this paper is not to argue whether or not administrative law is successful in comparison to other nations, e.g. the United States, but whether or not it is successful in the context of their government. Part I of this paper shall outline the history and creation of administrative law in China. With the creation of administrative law, there was a notion to differentiate Civil Procedure Law with Administrative
In a service industry, it is important that organizations fully understand the characteristics of the service needs in order to design their system in costs and benefits to set a reasonable price for their services. Sadly, many service organizations develop their service processes without investing time in testing and process and therefore many service organizations fail in their efforts (Meredith & Shafer, 2013, p 78). Therefore, it is important that as a service provider, Creative Learning Center have tested their service process and addressed any issues that they may find in delivering the level of service that is aligned with the organization’s goals. Having a well developed service process will ensure customer satisfaction, optimal operational flow and contribute to the profitability of the company (Barkai & Harison, 2011). To successfully ensure that the service process at Creative Learning Center is successful, effective and efficient, extensive testing must be conducted. A key aspect of their service process must address customer complaints to sustain customer satisfaction. Customers general complain when they experience services that are lower than the actual service performance and quality. Statistics show that many consumers choose to leave the establishment instead of giving the service provider the opportunity to address service deficiencies (Barkai et al., 2011). Therefore, addressing the customer complaint component into
Service is the most important aspect when it comes to handling a hotel. A hotel’s main objective is to provide the best service and tend to all of the guests’ needs and requirements. If there is no service then there would be no business. When running a business, the costumer is always placed first. Poor services can results in a complaint from a guest. But that complaint can be used to better the business in the future.
Landon (1980) also argues that it is extremely useful to study the complaining process and that companies can benefit greatly from the process of endeavoring to understand the causes, types, motives, and style of consumer complaining. The author explains that the complaint process involves the consumer 's evaluation of dissatisfaction and the choice to make the dissatisfaction known. The interaction between the consumer and the responsible party represents a process of confrontation and negotiation.
