Crack Your Customers' Communication Code

Ever run into a support request that took at least three replies to figure out what a customer was saying? Have you ever doubted if you've replied too formally or too casually to a customer? Do you feel like your response rate tanks halfway through the day?

In customer support, you have to be a jack-of-all-trades. Deciphering customers' digital communications is a science. And providing a great customer experience by matching a customer's tone and answering with empathy is an art form.

But no matter if it's your first day on the job or you're a seasoned pro, we can all learn to crack the communication code better.

Learn from the Experts

Join Emily Kinzig, UserOps Associate at NerdWallet, along with ProWritingAid's customer support specialist, Amy Cohen, and our product strategist, AJ Ogilvie, to learn how to:

  • Analyze every support request right with the "Thesis Paper" Framework
  • Sleuth for clues to your customer's digital tone and match it
  • Keep every response clear, concise, and empathetic, whether it's your 1st or 100th of the day
  • Optimize your workflow for speed without compromising on quality

This live workshop goes beyond scripts and macros. You'll hear the exact thought process behind our customer support pros' request analysis and watch them sketch a response in real-time. Then, you'll learn the secrets of how to write clear, quick responses every time, straight from a UCLA business professor.

If you want to learn how to decipher your customers better and provide the best customer experience possible, join us on June 2nd at 3PM ET/8PM UK for this free event.
