can you say: it's my fault?

2007-2-19

Joel Spolsky, Seven steps to remarkable customer service:

"Pretend you’re a puppeteer. The customer is yelling at the puppet. They’re not yelling at you. They’re angry with the puppet."

I can personally vouch for the power of "It's my fault." It gets all the find-someone-to-blame angst out of the way so quickly. "It'S my fault, I botched it. So now what can we do to get it sorted?"
