Let’s first look at the 12 Meanest Lions you can encounter in the following article. Remember, the Meanest Lions are there to help you NOT to return as a customer.

Rejection

No one likes to be turned down. You will never shine like you’ve shine before, so why not ask your customer to sign some paperwork? In your “manual” or “contract” you can have them enter their names and contact information. Possibly they would like more information. If you are providing a service they may even take a survey. You can even carry paper surveys, which cite as results, what they like or don’t like, what they would like to learn more about.

Your Listening Skills (Listen, Listen, Listen at all Levels)

Once your customer decides to go to the next stage – Except for the exception for a pre-agreed upon time, you might have to say nothing at all, to the customer – Goodness, you would think they’d say you already know the always invented greasy wind when calling a number, but not so.
