确认收到投诉
先表明你理解了具体问题。如果从未提及哪里出了错，泛泛地说 We value your feedback 会显得像是自动回复。
1. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
在邮件或聊天中使用这一中性开场。紧接着说明问题，不要长篇谈论公司价值观。
示例： Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I can see that you were charged twice for order 4821.
2. I understand that you’re concerned about…
当客户担心收费、期限、账户或安全问题时使用。
示例： I understand that you're concerned about a payment you don't recognize on your account.
3. Let me make sure I understand the issue correctly.
在概述复杂投诉前说这句话。这样客户有机会纠正你。
示例： Let me make sure I understand the issue correctly. The first package arrived damaged, and the replacement contained the wrong item.
4. From what you’ve described, …
用它将客户的描述与您已经核实的事实区分开来。
示例： From what you've described, the app closed before your payment confirmation appeared.
5. You’re right to expect…
当预期已由政策、订单或服务承诺明确规定时使用。在核实实际承诺内容前，不要使用它。
示例： You're right to expect the price at checkout to match the price shown on your receipt.
如果投诉难以理解，请先使用我们职场澄清误解英语短语指南中的表达，再提出解决方案。
致歉并表达同理心
有意义的道歉会点明问题或其影响。自然交谈时用 sorry，较正式的书面回复则用 I apologize。
6. I’m sorry that this happened.
确认确实出错后，使用这一直接的道歉。
示例： I'm sorry that your order arrived after the event you bought it for.
7. I understand how frustrating this must be.
当延误、反复联系或多次失败让客户付出时间时使用。不要声称客户表现出来的情绪以外的感受。
示例： I understand how frustrating this must be after you have already contacted us twice.
8. I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.
这一正式表达适用于商务邮件，但不应单独使用。尽可能补充具体造成的不便。
示例： I apologize for the inconvenience this delivery error has caused your team.
9. We should have handled this better.
当组织在流程或沟通上明显失误时使用。
示例： We should have handled this better and told you about the cancellation before your appointment.
10. I can see why this was disappointing.
当结果未达到合理预期，但没有造成重大损失或风险时使用。
示例： I can see why this was disappointing; the product looked different from the photo on our website.
不要使用 I'm sorry you feel that way.。它会把注意力从问题转移到客户的反应上，听起来可能敷衍。
询问所需细节
只询问有助于核实个案或选择补救方案的信息，并说明你为什么需要这些信息。
11. Could you tell me when this happened?
用它建立时间线，同时不暗示客户本应已提供该信息。
示例： Could you tell me when the error first appeared and whether it is still happening?
12. Could you send me your order or reference number?
询问查找交易所需的标识符。在公开聊天或社交媒体中，先将对话转到私密渠道。
示例： Could you send me your order number in a private message so I can check the delivery status?
13. What outcome would you like to see?
当可能有多种补救方式时使用。它并不承诺每个请求都能获批。
示例： What outcome would you like to see: a replacement, a repair, or a refund review?
14. Just to confirm, did you receive…?
用于会改变下一步行动的是非事实。
示例： Just to confirm, did you receive the cancellation email we sent on Monday?
15. May I ask a few questions so I can investigate this?
在电话中连续提问前使用。它告诉客户这些问题为何必要。
示例： May I ask a few questions so I can investigate this? I'll need the date, store location, and receipt number.
不推诿地说明经过
解释应准确、简洁且有用。如果原因未知，请如实说明，并给出下一步调查行动，而非编造貌似自信的答案。
16. I’ve checked your account, and…
仅在查阅相关记录后使用。
示例： I've checked your account, and the refund was approved yesterday but has not yet reached your bank.
17. The issue occurred because…
当原因已确认且能用清晰英语说明时使用。
示例： The issue occurred because the apartment number was missing from the shipping address.
18. We are still investigating the cause.
调查进行中时使用。请搭配下次更新的期限。
示例： We are still investigating the cause, and I will update you by 2 p.m. tomorrow.
19. This is what we found.
列出调查结果前使用这个简短过渡语，尤其适用于最终邮件。
示例： This is what we found: the payment succeeded, but the confirmation email was sent to an old address.
20. I don’t want to guess, so I’ll confirm that for you.
在电话或聊天中，当答案由另一团队负责时使用。
示例： I don't want to guess, so I'll confirm the warranty terms with our repairs team and reply within one business day.
不要将 That's our policy 当作完整解释。请说明相关规则、其如何适用于此个案，以及还剩下哪些选择。
提供解决方案
信息足够后尽快从同理心转向行动。明确说明现在可授权的事项，以及仍需审批的事项。
21. Here’s what I can do for you.
用它引出即时、具体的行动。
示例： Here's what I can do for you: waive the delivery fee and send the missing item today.
22. I can arrange a refund or replacement.
仅当两种选择确实都可提供时使用。说明它们之间的实际差异。
示例： I can arrange a refund to your original payment method or send a replacement by express delivery.
23. The best available option is…
当只有一种现实可行的补救方案时使用，但要解释为什么它合适。
示例： The best available option is a replacement, because the part needed for a repair is no longer produced.
24. While we can’t do that, we can…
用这一模式明确设限，不要在 no 处结束对话。
示例： While we can't refund a used gift card, we can transfer the remaining balance to a new card.
了解更多清晰表达限制的方法，请参阅这些英语中礼貌说“不”的方式。
25. I’ve escalated this to our… team.
说明团队名称和其将采取的行动。除非客户知道接下来会发生什么，否则 Escalated 并不是解决方案。
示例： I've escalated this to our billing team for a manual review. They will email you within two business days.
设定预期并跟进
将 soon 和 as quickly as possible 替换为你能做到的日期或时间。如果尚无最终答案，应承诺下次更新，而不是最终解决结果。
26. You can expect an update by…
当调查或审批仍在等待时使用。
示例： You can expect an update by 4 p.m. Eastern Time on August 6.
27. If anything changes, I’ll let you know immediately.
给出当前计划和期限后使用。
示例： The replacement is scheduled to ship tomorrow. If anything changes, I'll let you know immediately.
28. I’ll follow up with you on…
当该细节有帮助时，请同时说明渠道和日期。
示例： I'll follow up with you by email on Friday, even if the carrier has not completed its review.
29. Please let me know if this resolves the issue.
在客户已有明确行动可测试或结果可检查后使用。
示例： I've reset the account permissions. Please let me know if this resolves the issue when you sign in again.
30. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to put this right.
在承担责任并就补救方案达成一致后使用。投诉仍未解决时，不要使用它。
示例： The refund is now complete. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to put this right.

在线聊天
Customer: I was charged twice and nobody has replied to my email.
Agent: I’m sorry you’ve had to contact us again. Let me make sure I understand: two charges appear for the same order, and your earlier email has not received a response. Could you send me the order number in this private chat? I’ll check both charges now.
Agent: I’ve found the duplicate payment and submitted it for reversal. You can expect a confirmation email within one business day. I’ll follow up here tomorrow if it has not arrived.

Agent: I understand how frustrating this delay must be. Let me make sure I have the details right: your installation was scheduled for Tuesday, but no technician arrived and you received no cancellation message. Is that correct?
Customer: Yes.
Agent: I’m sorry we missed the appointment and failed to contact you. Here’s what I can do: arrange the earliest available appointment and ask our scheduling team to review the missed visit. I don’t want to guess about the time, so may I place you on hold while I confirm it?
