warning The "Calm Down" Trap!

Never say "Calm down" to an angry customer.

(កុំប្រាប់អតិថិជនដែលកំពុងខឹងឱ្យ "ស្ងប់ស្ងាត់" (Calm down) ឱ្យសោះ។ វាធ្វើឱ្យពួកគេកាន់តែខឹង! ត្រូវប្រើពាក្យយល់ចិត្តជំនួសវិញ។)

"Please calm down." cancel

Makes them feel ignored.

"I understand your frustration." check_circle

Makes them feel heard.

Hi Sokchea! Yes, a "refund" specifically means giving money back to the customer. If you want to give them a new item instead, use the word "replacement". payments

Great question! Even if they are wrong, stay polite. A great B2 phrase to use is: "I apologize for the misunderstanding." This doesn't admit you were wrong, but it apologizes that the communication failed. handshake

It is better to avoid "I don't know" because it sounds unhelpful. Instead, try saying: "Let me check that for you" or "I'll find out for you right away." It shows you are taking action! manage_search
