How to Respond to an Angry Customer Without Making It Worse

You just got a message in all caps, full of exclamation points and complaints, and you need to reply now. Answer while you're rattled and you might make it worse. Wait too long and that's also a problem. You need something that de-escalates and shows you actually care about fixing it.
