*********************************

As students prepare to obtain jobs during the summer or after high school, they need to understand that they will deal with customers of all kinds and must prepare for it. Dealing with angry or difficult customers is part of the job. When interacting with customers, it is essential to have excellent customer service skills. The more skills they master and the more strategies they have to effectively communicate with customers and diffuse potential conflicts, the better prepared they’ll be for future employment.

Customer service scenarios are difficult situations that could include upset, angry, and disappointed customers that students are likely to encounter in the workplace. Students may encounter these typical situations while working, or even be quizzed on how they would handle them while interviewing for a job! Learning about possible customer service scenarios is a great way to prepare students for any future customer issues. These customer service scenarios give students a hands-on approach to experiencing and practicing “real-life” examples of good and poor customer service while honing their customer service and conflict management skills. It is important to prepare your students (or any “employee-to-be”) for as many different situations as possible.

These scenarios offers opportunities for you to:

► bridge knowledge gaps and/or point students in the right direction based on their responses to the scenarios.

► test your students’ knowledge about the qualities required for exceptional customer service in any workplace.

► have students practice how to effectively resolve conflicts and diffuse difficult customer situations.

► determine how students would approach typical situations in the workplace.

► train your students how to handle potential situations, provide great customer service, de- escalate conflicts, and practice effective communication.

❤️ Role-Playing ❤️

Students can discuss or role-play common customer service scenarios and present worst/best case scenarios to the class. One student can act as the customer and the other can act as the employee handling the situation. Teacher and student observers can provide feedback and other possible scenario solutions. These highly relatable scenarios provide opportunities for students to demonstrate customer-service skills.

❤️ Customer Service Scenario IDEAS ❤️

✸ After reading scenarios, you can hold a class discussion about the variety of strategies students can use to deal with difficult customers and deliver great customer service. Additionally, the scenarios can be used to discuss appropriate vs. inappropriate responses, actions, behaviors, and attitudes when handling customers in these situations.

✸ Student observers can identify effective customer service strategies being used in the role plays as well as offer constructive criticism about how students performed in their roles as customer service agents. They can offer other possible scenario solutions.

✸ One student role-plays as a customer and the other as a service representative. They can act out how each side might handle the given scenario, and once the issue is resolved, they switch roles. This will help them understand each side of the situation.

✨ This resource makes a great addition to any class or course that needs to cover customer service because the context is based on experiences your students will face in their everyday lives. We can all agree that honing customer service skills and conflict management skills takes time and practice, practice, practice! These fun real-life exercises can help sharpen your students’ customer service skills and ultimately make them more confident in the workplace!
