Which tone do you find most important when serving a customer?

I have been working in customer service for 5 years and I mainly take into account what your needs are, what you need to solve, in order to provide you with a solution either with a product or a service.

I think it is important to avoid extremely formal tones unless the brand identity requires it. It is important that customers feel cared for and understood by a person who really cares about solving their pains.

Any tone that doesn't give away how much I don't enjoy my job usually works well enough LOL

I just try to keep it as neutral and cool as possible. I think it's important for some customers that I appear confident that I know what I'm doing

Can't go wrong with being polite and keeping it formal

The opposite tone of what I would like to use! ha. I try not to go over-the-top fake and bubbly, but I still keep it fairly upbeat.

Hi,
I just joined a company, I liked the work as per JD, but when I entered the team, I feel there is not much to learn and grow in that particular team. There are different teams in the department in which I am hired. Can I ask the AVP of department to shift me in another team of same department, I have joined the organization 1 week ago, shall I talk to my TL before telling AVP or should not say at all. Will it create any bad image of me infront of my AVP and my TL. Plz suggest..

How do you tell Senior the work load is disproportionate amongst staff? Everyone agrees I have the most work and consistently work until 2am on tasks whereas everyone logs off at 7. I record my time by tasks and I’ve completed tasks more efficiently so I’m not slow... the tasks are 3x more. I was told this is a compliment because I’m trusted with Senior work. I don’t find this amusing or a compliment, because my paycheck is not senior level. How do I address this?

Any articles or books on maintaining a trusted client relationship? OR any pointers towards doing that?
One consistent feedback I receive is that I don't follow through on client relationship. I build tremendous trust and good will during an engagement, but I let the relationship die out once we wrap the work out. OR It is luke warm at best with a periodic email once in a while, unable to introduce people or grow the relationship.
Any help?
