1Question

Tell me about a time you turned an unhappy customer into a satisfied one

A customer contacted us frustrated about a delayed £1,200 order that was needed for their business launch. I immediately investigated and discovered the delay was due to a supplier issue. I contacted our warehouse team and arranged express delivery at no extra cost, then personally called the customer to explain the situation and our solution. I also provided a 10% discount on their next order as goodwill. The customer was so impressed with the proactive communication that they became one of our top 5 accounts, placing orders worth £15,000 over the following 6 months.
2Question

How do you prioritise multiple customer enquiries when working under pressure?

During our busiest period, I managed 85 enquiries in one day by implementing a priority system. I categorised enquiries into urgent orders (same-day delivery), general enquiries, and follow-ups. Urgent orders were handled immediately, taking an average of 8 minutes each. I batched similar enquiries together and used templates for common questions, reducing response time by 40%. I also set up automatic acknowledgment emails so customers knew their enquiry was received. This system helped me maintain a 2-hour response time even during peak periods whilst achieving 98% customer satisfaction.
