Five tips for writing the
perfect tech support email
Tech-support emails are nothing new, and neither are
these tips. But they still hold good and they can still
help you write better emails.
Tip #1
Examine the problem from
every point of view
- Donโ€™t make assumptions
- Read the complaint over and over
again
Tip #2
Try the solution out
yourself
- Solutions maybe outdated
- Even the slightest missteps can
turn a satisfied customer into an
irate one.
Tip #3
Put yourself in their shoes
- Respect what might seem a trivial
issue for you
- Get personal
Tip #4
Check for grammatical
errors
- Put in a little effort
- Use a spellchecker or a tool like
Grammarly
Tip #5
Think twice before saying
no
- Try suggesting workarounds
- Make sure you donโ€™t say a hard no
