How to handle the irate customer? Check out How to Talk so Kids will Listen & Listen so Kids will Talk by Adel Farber and Elaine Mazlish (the teen version is equally excellent). This bible of child rearing is one of the best non-business books that makes perfect sense in the business world. Read it and you will believe.
One of the best take-aways from the book was how to use the following expressions Uh-huh, Oh, Interesting, Really? I See and Mmm, along with sympathetic silence, during a customer rant. It was astonishing at how powerful these simple little words made it
possible to diffuse/resolve a situation with the irate, unreasonable,
emotionally charged, often loud, unhappy-and-wanting-justice customer in
the calmest, most peaceful way possible. Speaking from experience,
these practical tactics (and some appropriately interjected humor) help
to restore sanity and harmony in a tough customer/workplace situation.
Though we might fantasize about strongly articulating, why you gotta be so mean?, logically, we know that a defensive posture will just be a lose-lose situation.In
the end, what we really want is to retain a customer who will remember
that we tried hard to solve a problem to his/her satisfaction.
Here is an excerpt from a summary of the book …..The more I move
through life and the business world, however, I am struck how the same
techniques enhance communication between adults in all aspects of life.
This book should also be listed in the Business/Management section. It
says all the same things the high-priced consultants say — treat people
with respect, do not deny their emotions, state the facts (only) and
shut up and listen. This book also talks about giving praise and
recognition, which makes it another reason to use it in real life,
inside the family AND outside in the “real” world.
Some tips with tactics from the book:
Apologize and Listen. Immediately respond to the customer problem with, You do sound unhappy,my apologies. Let me help you. (or) I’m so sorry, I want to try and turn this around (or) if all else fails, It sounds like we owe you an apology.
Then…let the customer talk and respond at intervals with, Oh (or) Interesting (or) Uh huh (or) Really? (or) Mmm (or) I See (non-judgmental words) so that the customer knows you are listening. Treat people with respect: actively listen, acknowledge with short bursts of Oh (or) Interesting (or) Uh huh (or) Really? (or) Mmm (or) I See. If appropriate, throw in a that does sound frustrating. As the customer is able to air the complaint, he/she should start to calm down.
On the other hand, if the customer is just becoming increasingly
angry and/or abusive, try to retain integrity and calm and say something
like, I understand that you’re very unhappy and I want to help
you, but at this point I need to put the president of the company on the
phone (or) I need to ask for your name and number so that the president of the company can call you back.
State the facts back: Ask yes or no
questions, only, to get the full details of the complaint. And to reach
a resolution. Once you think you have it, remain sympathetic. State
back the problem and resolution. Gain agreement that the resolution
you’ve discussed is understood by the customer. Say something like: So that we’re both comfortable (another good word from the book), we’ve decided that our company will fix the equipment and you will pay to have it shipped to our location (or) Just to confirm, you understand the step-by-step set-up instructions and you are now comfortable in completing the set-up?
Thank the person for calling; document the conversation point by point.
And be awed at the huge impact of Oh (or) Interesting (or) Uh huh (or) Really? (or) Mmm (or) I See!
Hope this was helpful. Thanks for reading and subscribing!
.......who want to
learn to screen print t-shirts, pillows, golf towels, cards and everything elsein-between in the intimacy of their own homes
and/or studio.
Screen
printing is a natural outcome of hobbies and crafts that involve textile or
graphic arts. It offers an avenue in which to further skill level/experience for fun and/or to turn a hobby or craft into a business. How many of us started that way? I think I know the answer. And how many of our kids are creating/selling t-shirts, hats and more? I pretty much know that answer, too. Either way,
stencil-making is key to printing. And there is a way to ramp up learning and
skill level with a revolutionary stencil-making system by RhinoTech for craftsters and
hobbyists of any age.
Why do you need
a stencil to screen print?A stencil is
the central application to applying a design to the surface of the item that is
going to be printed.A stencil can be
made with specialized stencil paper, a thin sheet of plastic, metal, cardboard etc.
that results in designs being cut or printed on so that ink can be applied
through the incisions or slight open spaces onto the surface.
Traditional
stencil-creation involves a lengthy, drawn out process of using a film
positive, emulsion, capillary film, exposure and drying time. THE NEWEST PROCESS that is RhinoScreen Dry Stencil Film eliminates these steps
enabling a quick and simplified way to create a stencil.
This
system boosts the learning curve for hobbyists and craftsters enabling new
creative and artistic pursuits in a very short time. Engagement will increase
knowledge, skill and experience.And has
the power to fulfill dreams.
Why use RhinoScreen
Dry Stencil Film-CH? It is a highly
efficient stencil making system that expedites the end result. These are the
steps to create a Stencil: 1) create image in a negative format using your own
computer; 2) print the design on a laser printer using a RhinoScreen Image
Sheet; 3) apply Image Sheet to polyester mesh screen frame with your regular
household iron (do not use steam) by ironing Image Sheet onto the screen frame for 60-90 seconds; 4) once
cooled, peel back the Image Sheet that will leave the toner behind on screen
and VIOLA, you have created a stencil; 5) block out surrounding area with
masking or other tape. You are now ready to screen print on the items of your
choice. For textiles or card stock use water-based RhinoAqua Ink from RhinoTech.
And three of the top reasons to use RhinoScreen
Dry Stencil Film-CH is that the paper is recyclable (papers contain no silicone
or organic pollutants); the ink is water-based and biodegradable.

a New Screen Transfer Technology and Technology Partnership
RhinoTech, an industry-leading manufacturer of screen and graphicsprinting equipment, screen frame adhesives, such as RhinoBond, environmentally-sensitive screen frame cleaning chemicals and supplies is excited to announce its newest partnership with Graphics One, LLC (GO), a developer and worldwide distributor of innovative, world class digital imaging products. The new alliance will offer even more advanced direct screen transfer technology specifically designed for the color separation and screen printing markets.
This exclusive system offers a simple system workflow specially designed for home based, start-up and commercial screen and graphics printers who need rapid screen imaging capability with a fast turnaround time. The GO UNO DTS is also capable of imaging transfers for apparel and for rigid substrates.
The new system reintroduces a stencil-making revolution with RhinoScreen Dry Stencil Film that eliminates the need for emulsion, capillary film, a film positive, exposure and drying time.
Together with a GO UNO DTS system that is a high performance/high speed tabloid LED Direct-Transfer-Screen printer, a heat press and computer, stencil-making becomes fast and simple. The highly efficient system expedites color separation by by-passing most of the traditional methods of screen printing workflow.
Gregory Markus, president of RhinoTech states: “The benefits to our partnership translate into increased printing solutions for screen and graphics printers, embroiderers and crafters. Not only will this affordable system help boost bottom line goals for customers, but it will also correlate to our industry’s need to incorporate safer, environmentally sensitive products into the work place as RhinoScreen Dry Stencil Film is recyclable (papers contain no silicone or organic pollutants). And because of minimal space needs required for inventory and equipment, a start-up, home based or established business can easily take on the system.”
Christian Sam, GO Marketing, stated, “We are very excited with this new and revolutionary solution being introduced to the color separation and screen print market. With the partnership of GO UNO DTS printer and the RhinoScreen stencil film, screen printers whether startup or commercial now have a fast and simple workflow to produce a ready to be printed negative screens. This revolutionary system solution bypasses several production steps used in the traditional screen print workflow and greatly reduces production cost by eliminating several screen print components such as emulsions, chemicals, film positives and a darkroom. This remarkable solution is perfect for clients and customers who require a very fast turnaround times.”
The system comes with a 50 pack of RhinoTech’s RhinoScreen Dry Stencil Film, and a starter set of toners with GO UNO printer priced at $2,195.

Remove ghost images for good with routine use of HRG² 2400 Haze Remover that is an environmentally-responsible product and part of the RhinoClean Green² chemical line. Both graphic and textile screen printers’ use this specially formulated liquid product to remove imbedded U.V., conventional and plastisolinks that remain on the screen following emulsion removal. HRG² 2400 effectively lifts the haze and imbedded ink from the mesh then emulsifies and dissolves the ink resins, binders, pigments, plasticizers, etc. The solution suspends resins, so reattachment to the mesh surface is prohibited allowing for simple water-rinse removal. HRG² 2400 is also an excellent degreaser. And the best part is that it is biodegradable, conforming to standards and our industry’s need to be responsible stewards of our mother earth.
Within the realm of emulsion removers, we want to reintroduce two that are top sellers. They are biodegradable and, with the addition of a filtration system, you are doubly assured that any solids will be collected. As a result, the environmental impact to plumbing and septic systems continues to be protected.
Showcased today are: ERG² 8550L Emulsion Removerfrom RhinoTech that is a highly efficient ready-to-use product. This Emulsion Reclaiming Solution rapidly removes emulsion and capillary films from screens. It offers excellent freeze/thaw characteristics and is ideal for use in all climates. And it never separates out active ingredients. And, as mentioned earlier, environmental, economic, plumping system and septic field protections are assured when a filtration system is used in combination to collect solids that are 5 microns and larger. This can be accomplished by using a RhinoClean M10 Filtration System that has a woven filter media to collect the particles.
ERG² 8500L Emulsion Removerisalso a highly efficient, ready-to-use product; rapidly removing emulsion and capillary films from screens. The freeze/thaw characteristics are excellent so the product can be easily used in all climates. It never separates out active ingredients and can be used straight or mixed in a 1:15 ratio with water. The same protections are assured when a filtration system is used to collect solids that are 5 microns and larger.
It is definitely TRADE SHOW EXPO time in the screen printers world. Graphics printers will also find more shows than they have time to attend. If time and money permit, though, take the opportunity to meander the isles and focus in on the new technology that is awe-inspiring and profit-making - positive things to have in our lives. We always marvel at the creativity such as tattoo artistry brought to life through screen printing; new techniques that eliminate steps to producing beautiful, bold and colorful t-shirts, caps and more. Someone wrote to us that "screen printing" changed her life. Let it change yours.

Filmed at the Imprinted Sportswear Show in Long Beach, we give you the newest screen printingScreen Washing System to hit the industry in 2012! But first, we want to thank Jonathan from Catspit Productions (see this & other RhinoTech "how-to" videos all month @ youtube.com/catspitproductions) who deemed this a cool, highly worthy cleaning system and then helped us produce this video.
The best feature of the 2536 High Pressure (HP) screen cleaning system is that it offers a way for the operator to gain a controlled environment in which to: develop and degrease screens, reclaim screens; perform ink removal, stencil and haze removal (to banish ghost images) – all in one box. The RhinoClean 2536 holds up to 1/25″ x 36″ screen frame or 2/20″ x 24″ frames.
By bundling multiple functions this way, graphics and textile screen printers have an improved method to handle what the general consensus is “the worst job in the shop”.
As an example, to develop a screen in this high-pressure screen washing system, the operator is able to adjust up to 1,500 PSI. With an effective traveling arm and rotation of the spinner that has a timed cycle, consistency is gained during the developing process whether you make two or 200.
Another great attribute is its compatibility with Water Filtration Systems(the M-10) and, of course, RhinoClean Green² chemicals in an effort to minimize the screen printing industry’s carbon footprint on our mother earth. And to go a step further in our eco-sensitive mode, the addition of a Water Filtration System that is compatible to the 2536 HP will enable a filter media to filter out solids prior to water going down the drain.
Other features of the RhinoClean 2536 HP Screen Frame Cleaning System: Polypropylene Construction, Chemical Resistance, a Traveling, Two Headed Rotating Spray Wand and Easy Clean Drain.
