Customer complain policy * Make it easy for all customers to complain. * Decide which staff has the authority to resolve a complaint, and make sure they know what to do. The more a complaint is escalated to someone higher in the business, the more dissatisfied the customer may become. * Set a time frame to respond to a complaint.
