Customer service script template

A script isn't a robot rulebook. It's a skeleton that keeps every interaction warm, complete, and consistent across phone, chat, and email.

Subject line

Customer service script: greeting to close

Email body

Greeting: "Hi [first name], thanks for reaching out. You're through to [agent name], and I'm here to help." Acknowledge: "I'm sorry you ran into [issue]. I can see how that'd be frustrating, and I'll get it sorted with you." Clarify: "So I get this exactly right, can I check a couple of things? [Question 1]. And [question 2]?" Resolve: "Here's what I'm going to do: [action]. That should fix [issue]. Give me [time] and I'll have it done." Confirm: "Okay, that's taken care of. To confirm, [recap what was done]. Is everything working the way you'd expect now?" Close: "Glad we got that handled. Is there anything else I can help with while we're here? If not, you'll get a quick summary by email. Thanks for your patience, [first name]. Take care."
