Sample Answer
I remember working with a customer who was very upset because their subscription had renewed automatically and a $399 charge hit their card right before a holiday. They opened the call already raising their voice and threatening to “never use us again.” I didn’t interrupt. I let them vent for about a minute, then calmly summarized their concern: “I understand you weren’t expecting this charge and it’s bad timing. Let’s fix this together.” Just mirroring their situation in clear, simple English lowered the tension. I pulled up their account and saw the auto-renew email had gone out, but they hadn’t opened it. Instead of blaming them, I explained the policy, then proactively offered a full refund and turned off auto-renew while we were on the call. The tone changed completely. The customer actually apologized for shouting and stayed with us another year. I later used that case to suggest clearer subject lines, which cut billing-related complaints by about 18% the next quarter.
