Event Name:
Day for Circ Staff: Don't Eat the Red Frog! A Crash-Course in Handling Some of the Worst Customers that Come Through Your Doors!

Competency:
Communication and Customer Service

Description:
Some library customers are like the Red Poison Dart Frog of Costa Rica. Their behaviors are toxic! How many times a day are you dealing with angry, difficult and even downright unreasonable customers? They truly can be poisonous, if you let them!

The good news is that you can choose to not let them ruin your day or poison your “service attitude” with their venom.  By using a few proven techniques and questions some of these red frog customers could actually leave feeling better!

The Don’t Eat the Red Frog Crash-Course program is an interactive and fun-filled program with information, videos and experiences that you’ll be using to more effectively handle your angry and difficult customers when you return to work!

Learning objectives:
  • Using the E+R=O technique to reduce stress and improve their response to situations they can or cannot control
  • 3 powerful techniques for not “eating the poison of your red frog customers” and not taking things personally
  • Tips for deescalating an angry patron’s behavior whether you’re the first person they see…or the next
  • When to handle angry, difficult customers with emotional responses and when to use logical responses
  • Safety tips for when customer behaviors go beyond unreasonable
This session will be followed by a round table discussion and tour of the library.
