    Workshop:
    Injecting Empathy into your Customer Communications

    Overview

    Are you writing to angry, hurt or stressed-out customers? What you write has the power to either improve the relationship, or inflame it. This 2-hour interactive seminar will help you get it right.

    While that’s a task most people would rather avoid, doing delivering bad news in a thoughtful way can be the difference between an adversarial relationship with your customers and continued loyalty. A well-crafted response to a complaint can also prevent you and your brand receiving potentially damaging social media coverage.

    This workshop focuses on:

    • How to be appropriately empathetic in your communications
    • What words and phrases to avoid
    • How to construct your letters so essential information is easily absorbed.

    NOTE: It’s essential to provide a copy of customer complaint letters, templates or emails from your organisation prior to attending the workshop. The facilitator uses examples from actual letters to make the seminar more meaningful.

    Workshop Outcomes
