Q: Avoid the temptation to begin formulating a response before getting to the very last word in the correspondence. As you read the entire text, other insights may come to mind that will make it much easier to provide a truly constructive response. Let customers immediately know you care for and plan on investigating their concerns, there is personnel responsible for such actions, and a solution will be reached. Try a few of the following replies to personalize your own: At (business name), we are 100% committed to meeting the needs of our customers. One of our customer representatives will reply within 24-hours. In an effort to monitor and improve customer satisfaction at (business name), we would like to inform you we take all feedback seriously, and will reply to your concern as soon as possible. We appreciate your concern and hope to keep your future business. Please allow us some time to investigate your issue and determine a suitable solution. Whenever possible, go one step further and personally acknowledge the receipt. This is especially important if it will take time to gather the information necessary to adequately respond to customer queries, concerns, or suggestions. There are customer software packages that do this for you, but in general there should be a way to identify the customer, their contact information, and their specific complaint. Be sure to include enough information, like a unique ID number, in case the customer has more than one bad experience.
A: Read the customer's email carefully. Acknowledge the customer email as quickly as possible. Track all customer interaction.

Q: Games that kids won't need much help with (like Candy Land) are best if you are trying to occupy your kids so you can get things done around the house. Try not to use difficult games like Monopoly, unless there is an older child who can help the younger ones. Card games are good, too. You can find specialty card games for kids, or you can teach your kids to play simple card games like War and Go Fish with a standard deck of cards. If you don't have any games on hand, teach them to play a game that doesn't require any materials, such as I Spy, Simon Says, or Red Light, Green Light. You can find puzzles for all different ages and difficulty levels. You can also have children create their own puzzles with cardboard or construction paper, and if you have multiple children, you can ask them to complete each other's puzzles. This could be playing football, skipping, playing on a trampoline, or playing games with each other such as chase or hide and seek. If you have smaller children, fill a large bucket or something quite big with water and add plastic boats, rubber ducks and other toys. You can also use this same bucket to put sand in and let them build miniature sand castles. Give them some sports equipment and tell them to make up a new sport. You can get creative with the materials by using buckets for targets or trash can lids for bases, for example. You can either hide items around the house, or just create a list of items they will be likely to encounter in the area where you're playing. You can use furniture or any other household items as obstacles, and set up your course either indoors or outdoors. Make up new rules for each round or rearrange obstacles to keep things interesting. For younger children, encourage critical thinking by making up your own games with materials you already have around the house. You can write numbers or letters on scraps of paper and ask them to put them in the proper order, or give them pictures cut out from magazines and ask them to group them in a specific way. The possibilities are endless.
A: Give them some board games. Challenge them with a jigsaw puzzle. Let them play outside. Try a scavenger hunt. Set up an obstacle course. Make your own matching games.

Q: It is by far the best way to make money in Skyrim. From level 1, start collecting Blue Mountain Flowers and Blue Butterfly Wings. Mixing these two ingredients makes a potion that sells for 80-250 gold depending on your alchemy and speech levels. You can make well over 5,000 gold before even killing the first dragon. You can find these potion ingredients mainly in mountainous/forest areas.
A: Use alchemy.

Q: Do some preliminary "homework" by searching the Internet or visiting other stores to find the lowest prices for the item you want. Printing out a counteroffer or writing down the website to show the seller during negotiation demonstrates that you've done your research and are willing to go elsewhere. Make sure you're looking at comparable products. Just because you found a used model for half the price doesn't mean you can get a new one for that amount. If you're considering a house, ask a real estate agent to provide you with a list of comparable listings and sales. Also find out how long the house has been on the market the longer it has, the more willing the owners will be to sell it at a discount. Familiarize yourself with the product's features and how they compare to similar products. The more knowledgeable you are, the better you'll be able to judge the terms of the deal. When negotiating over expensive items, looking your best will garner more respect from the other party. This is especially true if you're negotiating over a house.#Be discreet in your negotiations. If you're purchasing a television or car in a public location, the seller won't want nearby customers to discover they can get a cheaper deal. Keep the volume down and the conversation private to get the best deals. Your earlier research should give you a good idea of how much "wiggle room" you have. Be careful not to undershoot and offend the seller. When shopping for houses, a polite offer is usually 5 to 10% below the listed price. If they don't agree to your offer, you'll need to give them a reason to change their mind. It's difficult to haggle over very expensive items simply by naming prices back and forth. Point out your loyal customer history if you have one, or offer an additional benefit. If you're buying a car, for instance, offer to have the car serviced at their garage if they sell it to you. If you're selling a home, agree to pay for a repair. Discuss any flaws in the product, however minor. A small dent or a feature that doesn't live up to its advertisement can be reasons for a discount. Mention dissatisfaction with some aspect of the product, such as the style or lack of associated product (e.g. a wireless keyboard for a computer). Be careful not to insult the seller, especially if they are the craftsman or designer of the product. Retailers won't have to pay a credit card fee for a cash transaction, and may pass on that discount to you. Warning: This could backfire if you're trying to buy a house. Having enough cash on hand to buy a house can signify to the seller that you're wealthy enough to afford more. Act hesitant until the seller reduces the price to an acceptable level. If the seller won't reach a price you're happy with, try these other tactics: If you're making an offer on a house, send a polite thank you email to their counteroffer, but don't respond with a counteroffer of your own for several days. This gives them time to worry you might not be interested, and to consider lowering the price. Say you have a spouse or family member at home that's limiting your budget. You could even fake a call to them if you have to. If the price is "out of your hands" the seller might concede some ground. If all you can get is a mediocre deal, ask the seller how long they can hold that price for you. Quoting that price at other establishments could cause both them and the original one to lower their price. Reading the fine print on your real estate contract or warranty plan is always a good idea. If the final price or terms are different than you expected, immediately bring it up with the other party. You may need to haggle further.
A:
Do your research. Dress well. Make a low but reasonable starting offer. Give the other person a reason to change their price. Ask about available coupons, sales, or a cash discount. Continue negotiating until you agree on a price or the seller balks. Keep a close eye on the transaction.
