LET THE CALLER TALK

 Once the caller has got you on the phone and
  started on their grievance, it is best to let it
  run. If things are serious it could last twenty
  minutes, but as far as possible let the person
  say what they want to say. They will not be
  ready to listen to you until they have said all
  the words they have stored up for this
  moment.
NOTE THE FACTS

 While the person is talking, take notes of the
  key points of fact they make, and the words
  they use to describe their feelings. Ignore
  comments about yourself or others unless
  they contain a fact about the situation.
PLAN YOUR RESPONSE

 You may be able to think about your
  response while the person is talking. If you
  work in customer care and this is a complaint
  about a situation, you can plan out how to
  respond to the situation, and ignore the
  emotional context of the call.
BEFORE HANGING UP

 Thank the person for calling. Whatever you
  may be feeling, it is probably better that the
  caller expressed their views to you rather
  than bottle them up.
AFTER HANGING UP

 If you have been affected by the call, get up
  and do something else for a few minutes. Try
  to find a colleague to have a talk to about the
  call, or at least find someone with whom you
  can discuss the weather.
IF IT`S PERSONAL
 You do not have to listen to anyone who makes bullying
  or aggressive comments to you. Nor do you have to
  listen to malicious gossip about other people. If callers
  are behaving in an aggressive, bullying or intimidating
  manner you should interrupt, say that you do not wish to
  continue with the call, and ask them to stop. If they
  continue, you should hang up. This applies, even if the
  substance of a complaint is valid. Even if you have made
  a mistake, and are responsible for the situation that has
  triggered the call, you still do not have to listen to
  personal invective. If a call has been very personal about
  you, make sure that you find someone to talk it over with
  and if necessary discuss what has happened with the
  manager.
