3. Personality Based Etiquette
Train your Tone: Tone plays a vital part in real time chats where the
conversation mirrors a verbal communication. The tone should reveal your
personality as warm, courteous, and knowledgeable. A simple example would
be the case where a helper with a “Hi; How can I help you today?” greeting
message sounds great to a customer than a helper with just a “Hi.”

4. Always Keep Discussions Professional:
Sometimes customers may talk to you coarsely, treat you poorly, or even slander
you even though you committed nothing wrong. In such cases, it is always
important to react professionally and do not get sucked into a negative
exchange. Maintain your cool and reply back in a respectful manner. You always
have a right to respectively decline to speak any further with the customer. One
poor exchange can ruin your reputation and future customer sales.
Value Addition Etiquette
Respect People’s Privacy:
It is of utmost importance to respect people’s private online property as one
would of their physical property. Remember that the customer is seeing you
work with his computer. Customers’ may like things done a certain way, so show
prudence and ask for permission before taking important actions.
Computer Related Etiquette
Clean it up: If you happen to download and install software on the customer’s
computer, make sure you remove those which you consider unnecessary for the
user. A better option would be to ask the customer whether he/she would like to
keep them or not.
The Sale is Important
Remember to “Always be Closing” (ABC) : Your goal is to make some additional
income and hence keep your goal in mind. Selling does not mean you are rude
or pushy, but think about things that will help convince the customer on your
service throughout your discussion:
Beginning of the conversation: Start by saying “I can help you solve that
problem quickly” or “Please describe your question and I can get you back and
running fast.”
