You should give them the impression that you are here to listen and care for their problems. Be attentive and listen to what they have to say. Understand well and communicate clearly to them. They need to keep it simple so as to not confuse your customer. Half of the problems can be solved by picking the right kind of people your customer service team. They should know the art of listening.
