Working in Customer Service

By Myriam Benali in Paris  |  1 year ago  |  0 comments

Answering to angry customer's phone calls can be very tiresome and stressful, no matter how stress-resistant you are. 

I suggest this tiny little advice for those of you who work in the field. This is a trick I found myself today. 

While holding the receiver / headphone on the right ear, place the headset of your iPod in the left ear. Put your favourite song on and concentrate for a moment to the rhythm. This feels great.

You can try it too, but watch out for your boss! :)
