I recently responded to a question on LinkedIn: A customer is furious about an out-of-stock item. How do you turn their frustration into satisfaction? I added a second part to that question.

Every customer support interaction is an opportunity to make a lasting impression. As Maya Angelou wisely said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." This sentiment is especially true in customer service. A single unresolved issue or a delayed response can leave customers feeling undervalued, leading them to quietly take their business elsewhere.
