Why do customers show strong emotions?

Back

Customers often feel frustrated, sad, desperate, or even happy when contacting support. This is totally normal because:

• They come to us when something isn’t working right or when they need urgent help

• They’re worried about their money, access, or important deadlines

• Sometimes they’re just relieved or grateful when things get fixed

As a CSR, it’s important to recognize these emotions are not personal attacks — they’re natural reactions to the situation. Your empathy and calm attitude can help calm them and guide them to a solution.
