2. Red tape–such as refunds, credit checks, and adjustments on account.
3. A company’s failure to stand behind their products or services.
Upon your instructor’s direction, pair up with a classmate and role play each of the given situations that can turn customers off. In a class discussion, be prepared to state how you, representing a specific company, might address each scenario in a positive way. As an alternative, follow your instructor's directions to join a group and use the instructors-designated discussion board to complete the group project.
