Keeping promises - whether it's for promised delivery, quality, or whatever, and poor communication when it falls down! (I'm referring to customers in the widest sense, including business to business, not necessarily only the public, ie., in-store customers).

I think you need to kick it higher up the food chain and let the corporate lawyers take care of it.  Mistakes happen, but I'm sure at the corporate level they have dealt with this before and can track down that customer faster than you could.  Good luck!

I am in the tech business. The biggest challenge I face is customers that won't register my advice or predictions and then become difficult and/or won't pay when they don't follow my advice or my predictions come true. Sniffing these types of customers out sometimes offends otherwise good customers.

It seems your role would start with the assumption that you're working with adults and that they are qualified for the job they are filling.  \n\nHaving said that, you recognize everyone has strengths and weaknesses.  For many, the weakness may show up because of the overall organizational environment they are operating within.  \n\nAs the internal auditor it is your role to identify issues and communicate the context appropriately so that management may take the appropriate actions.\n\nHope there's something in there you can use.

Once you've collected their emails and work phones, identify a measure or characteristic that is common in all your cutomers. Based on that characteristic, compile a list of say the 20 top customers that exhibit that characteristic best. \n\nIt can be more than 1 characteristic which runs through all of them or the majority of them. In which case, your list will be reduced to say top 15. \n\nThen add one more quality and which will further reduce your list, but then all those companies in this list will have all qualities. \n\nCompile each list in rank order. Give your boss all lists and begin with the one that has the most number of characteristics.\n\nIf it doesn't work, he'll at least see that you're making an effort on your own; you're taking initiative. All the best!

Some things I can think of off the top of my head:\n\n- Don't be afraid to roll your sleeves up and lend a hand when things get busy.\n\n- Make it clear to them your not going to let them walk all over you, but try to avoid yelling.... perhaps try diffuse it with a little humour (e.g. "put the handbags away gentlemen").\n\n- Listen to what ALL the staff have to say, not just a core group of ones a promotion or two below you... sometimes it's the only way you'll find out about problems with the department (or problems that are brewing up).\n\n- Don't change things for the sake of change.... if the department's way of doing something is working perfectly fine, don't try to change it without thinking it through properly. A common problem with alot of organsiations these days is they try changing things around (such as the way products are distributed, for instance) only to turn things into a complete shambles instead of improving things.\n\n- Don't be afraid to bend the rules slightly occasionally: If someone turns up late, but works hard enough to more than make up for it when they do show up.... let them off, but give them a mild warning about not making a regular habit of it. If they turn up late, but sit around scratching their butt all day then come down on them like a ton of bricks (since that sort of thing usually gets the other staff grumbling a bit, particularly if you let them walk all over you).\nAnd if things are quiet, let them shoot off home a few minutes early.\n\nIf anyone is leaving / announced their having a baby / just had a baby / lost a relative / having a birthday / retiring, etc try to be the first in there with arranging a card for everyone to sign / money collection for a gift (if appropriate) / after work party (if appropriate), etc.\n\nGive credit where credit is due.... if one of your staff comes up with a brilliant idea, don't try to take all the glory with the big bosses.

Intention of suppliers and lack of positive characteristics to customers.

By giving management better information on what is going on in the organization.  They may get better information on costs, or use of supplies, or length of stay broken down by disease, injury, ward, age, etc.  Inventory control is another possibility.  As an example:  how many defibrillators do you have?  Where are they located?  Who is trained to use them?  When were they last serviced?  Which one has been used the most, or the least?  Where have they been used?  If you have a location that has a lot of need, why not move the least used one there?  \n\nDepending on the design of the system, it might be able to answer any or all of these questions.

Have you tried doing Customer Feedback Surveys?  You could really benefit here by asking your biggest customers this same question.  Just make sure your survey gets to the right person at the company.

What is your greatest weakness?\nI would say my greatest weakness has been my lack of proper planning in the past. I would overcommit myself with too many variant tasks, then not be able to fully accomplish each as I would like. However, since I've come to recognize that weakness, I've taken steps to correct it. For example, I now carry a planning calendar in my pocket so that I can plan all of my appointments and "to do" items. Here, let me show you how I have this week planned out . . .

Why don't you just say "I'm the first-level customer service person-i'll try to help you".  We are very used to being directed to customer service departments for things.  What percentage of the time can you actually solve their problem?  I might not want to tell everyone my  business.  If it is a financial problem, i might not want to tell you.  Most salespeople have limited authority and customer service has more authority to take action to solve my problem.

Employers and co-workers value dependability.  Being honest, staying organized, and keeping commitments are the big three in my book.\n\nAbove all things be honest and direct in what you say and do.  Don't put a spin on things, admit your failures without excuses to your co-workers, boss and especially your clients.\n\nJust as important is to stay organized.  Don't rely on your memory for anything, write everything down - everything.  If you say you are going to do something no matter how trivial, come through with your promises.  If you can't keep a commitment, that is usually OK, just make sure and communicate that you will miss a commitment the moment you realize you aren't going to make it or suspect you won't make it.

managing the things were difficult.. for eg. lets take wipro, they providing software solutions and they manufacturing home products//compare to software and manufaturing products here there are lot of agencies... therefore it is very difficult to run those ORGANISATIONS//the balance sheet of the organisation will go up and down//

Food Weaknesses--- Chocolate, Chips & Pepsi\n\nOther Weaknesses----Caring too much, forgetting to concentrate on my blessings instead of the bad things in my life at times. My daughter, my husband,my grand-daughter, my family and my friends. They have my heart and once you give your heart away it weakens you and makes you vulnerable, but it also strengthens you in other ways. No matter what, it is worth giving away. =-)
