😤 De-escalation
Angry Customer Role Play: Refund Request
De-escalation in action: the agent lets the customer vent, acknowledges the feeling, takes ownership and gives a specific solution with a timeline.
Script (2 speakers)
Customer: [angry] This is the THIRD time I'm calling. I want my money back. Today.
Agent: I'm really sorry you've had to call three times. That's frustrating, and it shouldn't have happened.
Customer: The blender broke after one week. One week!
Agent: That's not the quality you paid for. Can I take your order number so I can fix this now?
Customer: <sigh> It's 4-4-8-2-1.
Agent: Thank you. I can see the two earlier calls. I'm going to process the full refund myself, right now.
Customer: [calmer] Right now? Not "within ten days"?
Agent: It's processing as we speak. You'll see it in three to five business days, and I'm emailing you the confirmation.
Customer: Okay. Thank you. That's all I wanted.
