The Fine Print: What to Write When You Must Explain a Policy to a Customer

by Leslie O'Flahavan | Dec 7, 2022 | Featured, Writing Matters Blog

Your customer should’ve read your company’s policy before purchasing your product. They kinda lied when they clicked the “I accept” box without reading a word of the fine print. Now, they’re requesting a return, refund, or exception that your policy doesn’t allow....

What to Write When You Must Tell a Customer “No” 

by Leslie O'Flahavan | Oct 3, 2022 | Featured, Writing Matters Blog

While it’s never easy or much fun to tell a customer “no,” you can write it the wrong way—causing write-backs, harming satisfaction, destroying rapport—or the better way. The better way doesn’t mean saying “yes” or making exceptions for super-persistent customers. The...
