13 Words You Never Use When Replying to a Customer
Are you throwing gas on your own fire? Too often, we use the wrong words when interacting with customers. Our short eBook spotlights the phrases your customers hate, and how to change them.

We can help. We’ll work with you to determine what your customers really want (and need), where you’re exceeding those expectations, and where you may be falling short. We’ll evaluate your customer service and online responsiveness versus your key competitors (if you like) and determine what you need to improve, enhance, add, or delete to delight customers. We’ll also work to make sure you’re measuring customer service optimally, whether you’re doing so from a B2C or B2B perspective.
We use our decades of experience, proprietary audience insights, competitive analysis, advanced metrics system, and detailed research to craft customer service optimization programs that drive meaningful business results.
