Context you provide

• {{specific-issues}} – the common complaint types to address (e.g., billing errors, product defects, service delays).
• {{training-format}} – the preferred format (e.g., workshop, e-learning, role-play).
• {{employee-level}} – the experience level of the employees (e.g., new hires, experienced).

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing context before starting.
2. Create a step-by-step guide for handling complaints, incorporating the specified strategies.
3. Develop a training module that focuses on de-escalation, understanding root causes, and proactive measures.
4. Design a role-playing exercise that simulates realistic complaint scenarios, emphasizing professionalism and resolution.

Output format Provide a complete training package with: a step-by-step guide, module outline, role-play scenarios, and case studies. Use clear headings and bullet points. Tone should be practical and empathetic.
