The purpose of this paper is to apply three communication theories (namely, Argumentation Theory, the Foot-in-the-Door Technique, and the Door-in-the-Face Technique) to the formulation of complaints that communicate effectively to company employees and yield compensation for the consumer. What the authors demonstrate is that complaining is not a haphazard procedure if communication theories are applied properly. In addition, also emphasized is the importance of self-efficacy, as a psychological component, to illustrate the necessity for complainers to have sufficient and true self-confidence in order to carry out each of these theories in practice.
