「クレームと謝罪・対応」に関する問題を解いてみましょう。

問題2

To: Eileen Chen, Top Trends
From: Diane Reeves, Tindal Industries
Date: April 7
Subject: Lawn chairs

Dear Eileen,

Please accept our apology for what has happened. There is no excuse for disappointing a valued customer like Top Trends.

I will see to it that replacements for all of the chairs be sent to your store immediately. I will inform the driver of the delivery truck to remove the entire first shipment from your store at that time.

As compensation for this inconvenience, I would like to offer a 20% discount on the chairs, and 10% off all future purchases. The 20% discount for this order will be reflected in the new invoice.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. I assure you this will never happen again.

Diane

「クレームと謝罪・対応」に関する問題を解いてみましょう。

問題1

To: Diane Reeves, Tindal Industries
From: Eileen Chen, Top Trends
Date: April 7
Subject: Defective chairs

Dear Diane,

This is in regard to the order of 20 lawn chairs we received from you on April 6. Upon inspection, we found that the armrests of five of the chairs had some kind of chemical stain on them. In addition, all the chairs had scratch protectors missing from their legs, and some of the legs showed signs of rust.

This is the first time we’ve ever received defective products from your company and needless to say, we’re shocked. We really like the design of these chairs and want to start selling them in time for the warm weather. What are we to do? I’d appreciate hearing from you as soon as possible.

仕事上の大きなミスは、ミスをした個人の業績評価を下げるだけでなく、企業の信用問題にかかわる重大な問題となります。納品されたものの仕様が間違っている、納品期日に商品が届かない、問い合わせの対応が悪いなどといった場合、顧客は営業担当者や顧客サービス窓口へ苦情（complaint）を伝えます。事実確認をして自社のミスであれば誠実に謝罪し、製造のやりなおし、値引き、返金のほか、次回購入割引を約束するといった埋め合わせ（compensation）をする場合があります。テストでは、クレームやそれに対する謝罪文書などがよく出題されます。

「販促キャンペーン」に関する問題を解いてみましょう。

問題 1

TO: SHIN SATO
FROM: JOYCE CHO
DATE: MARCH 31
SUBJECT: SALES CAMPAIGN

Dear Shin,

It’s time to start organizing our summer sales campaign. Our goal for the campaign is to achieve sales at least 10% higher than the spring campaign, which was disappointing in terms of revenue and product publicity. In fact, according to customer feedback, it was the worst campaign ever. My idea is to offer discounts in addition to the giveaways we’ve been providing during past campaigns. We need to rethink the giveaways as well if we are to motivate customers to participate in the campaign. I’m going to go ahead and schedule a meeting next week. All my staff are free Wednesday morning, so that would be the best day for us. Let me know if that would work for you.

Re: New product test

We will conduct a product test for our new brand of toothpaste—tentatively named Glow White—for two weeks beginning Monday. I’ve provided a brief summary below of how the test will be conducted. E-mail me if you have any questions.

A focus group of fifty participants between the ages of 35 and 45 will be given a 14-day sample of Glow White. They will be interviewed at company headquarters on July 25, when they will be asked to rate the sample on a scale of 1-10 in categories such as effectiveness, flavor and naming.
