A change in company policy now means that employees have to gather a lot more information from a customer before dealing with a request. The best way to handle the change is to: Apologize for any trouble and explain the change to each customer. Try to keep customers from becoming upset by suggesting that the change is minor. Explain the change to each customer and tell those who complain that you agree with their complaints. Argue against the people in the company who set up the change, in order to maintain customer satisfaction.
