Communicating more Effectively with Customers

‘Why don’t customers do as we ask? How to write more effectively in the contact centre

Everyone can write – and write well – at work. They just need clarity and confidence about the best way to do it. But it’s confusing; every manager says something different::

“That’s not right; sound more professional”
“That’s not right; make it longer and more businesslike”
“That’s not right; sound more formal”
“That’s not right; fluff it up a bit”

No wonder people aren’t confident.

After this virtual training course Team Leaders and managers and front line staff will be more effective when they communicate with customers – and colleagues too. It works for emails, social media, livechat, standard letters – any type of written communication.

Working – live – on your own material

We’ll work – live – on improving your own customer-facing material too. Send an example of your contact centre’s writing you’re happy to share and we’ll work on a couple of examples from the group and show you how to improve them in real time.

Objectives

You’ll understand the huge impact that more human written communication has and the role it can play in reducing complaints, callbacks and queries – as well as building better working relationships.

We’ll get you and your team writing faster, better and with confidence.

Topics we’ll cover

How written communication really works
Why doing more thinking means you can write less with more impact
Understanding your audience – who are they and what matters to them
How do people really read and understand – and how little in-depth time they give your material
Why simple, informal and human is best – how to avoid sounding like a robot
How to structure communication using customers’ unspoken questions
How to beat basic grammar and spelling mistakes
How to stop sounding like someone’s parent when you’re writing
What matters to customers when you’re communicating with them
Objective writing scoring and how it can help
The responsibilities of being an expert and why you may feel you’re dumbing down

Format

3-hour online sessions, using Zoom.
