“Tell me what happened.”

WHEN TO SAY IT: These should be very first words you say when a customer walks in with a problem.

WHY SAY IT: Because if your first act is to ask them “why?” something happened, you’ll put a customer on the defensive. Say this instead and you’ll get the facts without the fight.
