How To Complain Effectively
By Elaine Currie
If you work on the Internet, you might find one day that you have cause to complain about a product or service. It does not take anything as calculated as a scam to turn you into a dissatisfied customer. There could be lots of reasons why you would want to complain. If you think you have been cheated or simply received substandard goods or services, you have every right to complain but there are rules to follow if your complaint is to be effective. If you are new to Internet business, you might easily start out on the wrong foot and, if you take the wrong approach, it will get you nothing apart from frustration. Pause and think how you would react if the roles were reversed and you were the one receiving the complaint.
Be Polite
If you are sure you have genuine grounds for complaint, your first step should be to email the vendor. Write the email in courteous terms, manners are free and polite words don't take any longer to type than rude ones. If your email starts off "Your product is a heap of #*!!ing *@#!" you might as well not bother to send it. Dump it straight in the trash because that's where the recipient will send it. It only takes a mouse click to get rid of an annoying email and nobody will bother to read on if you send one that starts out abusively. I once made the mistake of trying to help a woman who sent me an email that started "Your website's full of garbage". I could understand that she was frustrated. I went out of my way to try to help her but it quickly became clear she didn't want help, she just wanted to whinge. From her emails, I could sense her character and realised that with her negative attitude she would never get anywhere and would enjoy moaning about the fact.
You should also remember that you might be writing to the wrong person. If you purchased something through an affiliate website, the owner of that website might not be the end supplier. This person might be able to help you to contact the actual vendor or tell you how to apply for a refund, but if you abuse the innocent affiliate you will be putting an end to any help that might have been available if you had been courteous in the first place..
State Your Grounds
There is no point in sending a complaint that just airs your feeling of grievance. If you want help or a refund, you need to set out what you feel are the shortcomings of the product you purchased. Don't send an email that just says the product is "rubbish", or a scam or you are upset. Tell the vendor where the product is defective, not how the defect makes you feel. If the vendor is not a scammer, he will be anxious to find out what exactly caused you to have a problem and try to reach a solution .He will probably email you to ask for precise details of your complaint. If you send a vague complaint and the vendor is a busy person, he might just write you off as a nuisance and ignore your email. This is not the best way for a person to do business, but it does happen. After the experience with the whining negative woman, I don't read any email that starts out in an abusive tone. I believe my time is better spent helping people who want practical help and not just an echo chamber for their whining. Most website owners who have had their patience tried by whiners will feel the same way. You will get further with a reasoned explanation of a problem than with a vague expression of your personal feelings of disappointment.
Say What You Want
When you are composing your email stating the problems you encountered, don't forget the state what it is you want the vendor to do for you. What do you really want? Are you frustrated because something didn't work right for you and you need some help to get things working? Are you completely dissatisfied and just want your money back? Tell the vendor what it is you want, he's not a mind reader. Remember, when you send a complaint, that webmasters are human too.
