The March 2022 Email Customer Service training course is designed to equip frontline correspondence Team Members and their direct Team Managers with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively (with style) and efficiently (with a focus on reducing unnecessary repeat contacts)Â better manage complaints and enquiries received via emails.
Because whilst there are lots of training options for phone-based customer service, agents are often ill-equipped on how to properly communicate via email.
So this is very much an ‘architecture’ program designed to empower frontline employees with the skills to craft great emails. What we do is facilitate, step by step, how to create an email that delivers the desired results and how to address the content needs and the tone needs.
And while email has its own unique properties, an underlying aspect and structure helps. If you can say it well, then you can write it well!
The very best emails, whether complaint or enquiry based, sound like they come from a live human being.
Facilitated live over Zoom by global expert Daniel Ord (delivered over 2 x 4-hour sessions), in our March 2022 Email Customer Service training course we’ll teach a structured process that is applicable to all email correspondence regardless of your products, services or industry making it ideal for employees who have frequent communication with customers via the email channel.
The March 2022 Email Customer Service training course is designed to teach a structured process in handling email customer correspondence for employees who are required to write and respond to customer enquiries, complaints and so on via the email channel.
Typical roles include:
Using a solid email writing framework makes such a big difference for success & efficiency in email writing. We use and work through a 9 Step Framework and use this section to introduce each step and practice understanding each step using real emails.
The email channel requires us to become detectives. What does the customer really want? How do they really feel? Interpreting Tone and Content is a vital first step in figuring out what to say and how to say it.
Using a variety of exercises we learn to better interpret what customers want – so we deliver a more relevant and human experience.
Service skills for phone calls? Yes – we all know about that. But understanding service skills for email – including the all-important ‘empathy’ – aren’t as widely known.
We cover the important similarities & differences in written vs. verbal formats.
Writing a great email – one that’s concise, human and addresses the needs clearly – is an art & science.
With content we look at the inverted Pyramid writing structure, the elimination of wordy phrases, better word choices and even how to say NO when you need to.
For Tone, we talk about dropping some of the silly phrases that exist out there (we apologise for any inconvenience is a classic example) so that emails sound like they come from a human being and not a machine.
And we cover the fine art of writing positively.
This is one of our most important courses and applies to anyone who writes emails – whether to customers or even just to internal colleagues.

The Customer service emails training course is a popular one with students as whilst there is often lots of guidance and tips on phone calls, emails and writing skills is often an area that agents have never received any guidance and structured learnings on.
