Research shows that customers are more likely to trust an organisation that communicates clearly and simply. For anyone in a customer-facing role, the ability to write clearly and concisely is a vital skill.
Customers want to be able to understand letters and emails the first time they read. All communications need to avoid jargon, clearly explain relevant terms and conditions, and meet the needs of the readers. On this practical course, you will learn how to write clear, concise emails and letters which answer customer questions and deal with their issues effectively. It will also show you how to write to achieve a satisfactory result and avoid an escalation of challenging issues.
