Course Overview
Emails that sound human, are easy to understand and make the right impression
Human-centred customer service email training that empowers your teams to sound human, keep things easy for customers and avoid escalations with what they say and how they say it.
Get the confidence to use email effectively with customers. In many ways using email to look after customers is just the same as picking up the phone. In other ways, it’s profoundly different. So you need the best of traditional customer care skills as well as a new approach that understands how email can profoundly impact how customers see you – and it’s not always what you say but how you say it. That’s what you get on this course.
