Be natural:

The agent while replying to the ticket doesn’t sound like a robot. The content has to look genuine and a sense of caring must be reflected in the text.

The automated text loses the essence of liveliness to which a customer finds it hard to connect.

So, while writing always try to use less amount of pre-formatted text in your message. The agent has to keep the feeling of being natural, not artificial in their replies.

Attentiveness while listening: 

The agents have to handle hundreds of calls on a daily basis. It makes them exhausted but doesn’t forget this fact that you are working for the support rep.

When the clients approach you through a medium of phone call then your voice need not sound so dull that the clients feel that you are not interested in listening to them.

All they wanted is your full focus on their problems.

Resolving queries at a rocket speed:

Without making the clients wait for your response, it’s better you revert back in time and fix the problem in no time.

In this way, clients will get impressed by your resolving efficiency and share their experience with more people.

About how fast the support rep solved their problems and the whole support staff works with full dedication and give them the solution at a speed comparable to that of light.

This kind of positive review for the portal is a good sign for the firm and its image.

Amiable interaction with the clients:

During interaction with the client, your tone must sound friendly to whom the customer may find easy to interact with as a stern voice loses the feeling of friendliness.
