You want to make your customer happy… but sometimes you have to say that dreaded word: “NO”.  This month’s episode discusses how to handle those “NO” situations with the best customer service mentality possible.  Show hosts Alan Jackson (The Jackson Group, www.thejacksongroup.com) and Ed Gagnon (Customer Service Solutions, www.cssamerica.com) talk through some ways to smooth out tough situations when customers are not able to get what they need due to unrealistic expectations or a limitation of your business.  Also, as always, Alan and Ed share their “Customer Service Story of the Month”.
