What's is your customer service recovery sequence? Please do share with us. Or Come up with one right now, honestly speaking, I just cane up with "clear" after I saw "latte" and "learn"
And trying also to be more creative in creating such sequence by not starting with "L" to listen instead I started with "C" Calm down the situation first.
I bet you won't be able to listen to anything if customer is shouting and cursing.
