You are a customer service manager. It is currently December, and over the last few
months, you have been receiving feedback from customers that customer service is
just ‘not what it used to be’. The board of Innovative Widgets has been made aware
of the decrease in customer service quality and wants to know what you’re going to
do to fix the problem.
Mary is a member of your customer service team at Innovative Widgets. Her role is to
receive telephone enquiries and complaints.

from China, but the saving isn’t great when you add in the extra shipping
costs.
I’m going to begin legal action if the widgets don’t arrive today. I might order
the widgets from China from now on.'
● Mary misunderstood and thought that the customer had ordered the products
yesterday and argued with him. She accused the customer of being
