Recovering from Service Failures

An excerpt of the article on service recovery by Stephen W. Brown, PhD, et al. in the April 1998 issue of the Journal of Marketing.

Over half of all attempted recoveries leave customers still feeling negative about the company!

Companies' responses to complaints often leave customers upset about interactions, procedures, and outcomes.

This is why it is important to

  • do it very right the second time

  • make it easy for customers to complain

  • prepare for service recovery just like service delivery
