VIDEOS 8, 9 & 10 (Summaries)
VIDEO NUM.8 “DEALING WITH PROBLEMS”
This video was about a photocopier machine trouble. The customer asks to replace it for a new one.
The company is agreeing with the change, but something happens and a one’s mistake is a company issue. The man of service customer who made the arrangement with the client said to him that the company will going to replace the machine for a new one, but he didn’t know that wasn’t any machine in stock, so he called to the customer and explain it everything, and I think that happened because of bad communication.
