Carry out independent investigations to find out who or where the real problem is. Without knowing who or where the exact problem is, you can never develop the right solutions. The employee might be the problem or the customer might be the problem; depending of who or where the problem is, you can be able to tailor up effective solutions to eliminate the problem. Ultimately the most important decision is to create a pleasant dialogue intended to reconcile the parties involved as soon as possible so that this problem doesn't become permanent
