The customer service lesson I learned from a difficult delivery

A package arrived damaged. I could have blamed the sender. Instead I apologised, arranged a replacement collection, and followed up personally. The customer left me a five-star review. How you handle problems is more memorable than how you handle everything going right.

Great point. I'd also suggest keeping a portfolio of before/after results. Clients love it.

I've been freelancing for 5 years and this is still relevant. Great reminder.

How long did it take you to get to this point? I'm just starting out and this feels miles away.
