We will:

  • Show empathy and understand an issue from the customer’s perspective.
  • Be open minded.

We won't

  • Answer the wrong question.
  • Have preconceptions.
  • Shut down the conversation.
  • Breach any regulatory obligations.

How can I apply this to my Team?

  • Review how your Team contacts customers – how do they want to hear from you?
  • What information do you have on your clients?
  • Do you look at this before contacting them to build a picture?
  • Use workflows as a guide but recognise they might not fit every situation
