In this week's podcast, entitled "When to Write Effective Complaints", I talk about the importance of writing with a "cool head". Writing when you’re angry isn’t a good idea. I find, it’s best to jot down major points of how you feel when you’re angry to jog your memory for later, then wait 24 hours from the time of your injustice is a "cool down period".
When you return, try to view the situation as third-party or "outsider" would, then script a narrative in your letter that concisely conveys your message and shows what your expectations were, and exactly where the company failed to meet them.
Here are some tips that can help you cool down when you’re really steamed:

I agree, I had a bad experience for mother's day, from a Dairy Queen,I was so upset when I wrote the complaint, that nothing ever came out of it, I never heard back! Lesson learned there! I then had an issue that I took care of more properly and although I was wanting money compensation that hasn't always been my goal, my last complaint just yesterday was all about proper customer service. You want to feel appreciated and welcomed, it was for a birthday and although I don't want to give specific company names on the last two talking points, "better head is truly better said"
