“I want to receive my package!!”
How do you transform these response with positive sentence
• “so, what I heard is there’s problem with the shipping”
• “are you saying that we failed to deliver your package on time?”

Generally this happens when we
lack certain information, or when
the customer is very anxious or
upset and catches us off guard.
Use the following phrases to
communicate that you have it all
under control, even when things
feel a little shaky:
To assuage or calm a customer:
• I’m going to take care of this for you…
• I assure you…

To prevent doubt when you don’t know:

Emotional Intelligence
“
Emotional intelligence is the ability to perceive emotions, to
access and generate emotions so as to assist thought, to
understand emotions and emotional knowledge, and to
reflectively regulate emotions so as to promote emotional
“
and intellectual growth.
Peter Salovey and John Mayer.
Daniel Goleman has popularized this idea and developed it
by creating five components of emotional intelligence:
• Self-awareness – the ability to recognize and understand your moods and
emotions, as well as their effect on others.
• Self-regulation – the ability to control disruptive impulses, to suspend judgment
and to think before acting.
• Internal motivation – a passion to work for internal reasons that go beyond
money and status (e.g. learning, experiencing, having a happy family).
• Empathy – the ability to understand emotions of other people.
• Social skills – the ability to manage relationships and build networks.
Now, how can you relate the
components of emotional intelligence
to your telephoning skills?
