A 3-hour virtual workshop for contact centre professionals who want to write with clarity, confidence and care. 

In a world where inboxes are overflowing and attention spans are shrinking, how we write matters more than ever. Whether you’re responding to a customer complaint, updating a colleague, or chasing a query, your email is your voice – and it speaks volumes. 

This practical and engaging session helps contact centre teams master the art of professional, human-centred email writing. From tone of voice to structure, from punctuation to persuasion, participants will explore how to write emails that are clear, credible and customer-focused. 

By the end of this session, you’ll:

  • Understand why email etiquette matters and how it shapes customer experience
  • Explore the difference between formal and informal tone, and how to flex based on the recipient
  • Learn how to structure emails for clarity and visual appeal using line breaks, bullets, fonts and spacing
  • Discover how the human eye reads emails, and how to write with that in mind
  • Craft subject lines that get noticed and drive action
  • Practise rewriting real emails to improve tone, clarity and impact
