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.

Hello all, just wanted to give back to the community since y’all helped me get my offer. Please believe me when I say that PEI is extremely important. I made multiple quant mistakes. I think what saved me was my PEI. Pick the stories that resonate with you the most because how genuine and passionate you are about your stories will show during the interview. That’s my take (I’ve also conducted interviews for my company and am just speaking from my POV). Feel free to reach out with any questions!
