Tone of Voice for Writing to Customers

It’s not what you said, it’s how you said it. Tone of voice is one of the most underutilised but important aspects of writing to customers. It has the potential to enhance or destroy relationships and it is often hard to get right in written material. This course is designed to help teams master their tone of voice and use it to build relationships with customers and colleagues.
