Dealing with customer complaints isn’t a business owner’s favorite task, but that sometimes stressful part of running a company can provide opportunities to improve the business for the long run, experts say. — This article was submitted by News & Experts, a public relations firm in Florida. “Turning those complaints into positives depends largely on two factors,” says Alex Zlatin, CEO of Maxim Software Systems. “One, how well business owners and their team handle unhappy customers directly one-on-one, and two, devising solutions for specific customer issues that keep coming up.”
In terms of direct customer service, studies show complaining customers could end up being some of a business’ best customers. Harvard Business Review found that those who have a complaint handled in under five minutes spend more on future purchases. As for developing long-term solutions for common problems customers bring up, Zlatin says a business should make a habit of documenting all customer complaints, then discuss those issues as a team. Another way, he adds, is to send out customer surveys that include a wide range of questions geared to improving the company’s processes and customer service.
Under a proposal from town Health Director David Knauf, Darien restaurants that fail inspection more than once within any 12-month period would pay higher and higher fees for each failure. A member of the town’s Advisory Board of Health suggested another higher fee, which Knauf and the full board endorsed: A new $100 fine for any food-serving establishment not displaying the latest health inspection rating — a practice already required by town ordinance but which, so far, hasn’t had a fine attached to it. — “New Food-Serving Establishment Closed for 30 Days,” see sidebar, below. Knauf described the proposal at a meeting of the health board last Wednesday. He said he has been told that the matter will be on the agenda of a January meeting of the Board of Selectmen, which is expected to vote later on whether to adopt it.
These seven inspection reports of Darien restaurants were released Thursday by the town Health Department, based on inspections from Dec. 13 to 16.
