1
Hey, so customer service is a big part of many different jobs in many different industries.
2
Customer service is important not only if you are a customer service representative.
3
And every moment that you spend with your customers
4
or your clients is an opportunity for you to make them feel special and to create an amazing experience.
5
And your choice of language or your choice of words reflects how much you care about and value your customers.
6
So in today's lesson, we are learning 20 very useful phrases for customer service.
7
First off, let's have a look at some phrases for getting your conversation started with your customer or your client.
8
Now, two of the most common phrases that I'm sure you have heard
9
and probably used if you work in customer service are, how can I help you or is there anything I can help you with today?
10
How can I help you or is there anything I can help you with today?
11
Now, these two phrases are very common, as I said, and they're kind of the essential foundation of a conversation with a customer.
12
These questions can be asked in a shop or on the phone
13
if you are providing a service or if you are selling a product.
14
If you're talking to a customer and you work in retail, for instance, it's very common to ask, how can I help you today?
15
Or is there anything I can help you with today?
16
Another great phrase is, thank you so much for waiting.
17
Thank you so much for waiting or thank you for your patience.
18
Now this one is common
19
when your customer has been in line waiting to speak to you or when they have been on hold on the phone.
20
You always want to thank them for waiting, okay?
21
People don't like waiting for things.
22
Unfortunately, people are kind of impatient by nature.
23
When you start your conversation by thanking them for waiting or thanking them for their patience,
24
it just sets a positive tone for the rest of the conversation.
25
Another question you might ask early on in your conversation is, is there anything else I can help you with?
26
Is there anything else I can help you with today?
27
And this one is useful for when you have answered your customer or client's question.
28
And then you want to make sure that you've done the maximum you can.
29
You can ask, is there anything else I can do for you?
30
Or is there anything else I can help you with today?
31
Next, let's look at some phrases for when you have to apologize to a customer.
32
Now, there's lots of different reasons and situations in which you might have to apologize to a customer.
33
Perhaps you made a mistake.
34
Perhaps someone else made a mistake.
35
Perhaps your customer just had a bad experience.
36
So it's not necessarily that you've done something wrong
37
and you have to say sorry there are different situations in which apologizing is appropriate, professional, and expected.
38
And when it comes to apologizing, you want to make sure that you are putting yourself in the customer's shoes,
39
even if you are apologizing on behalf of your company or on behalf of someone else.
40
So instead of simply saying, I'm sorry, try putting yourself in your customer's shoes, trying to understand how they feel.
41
And you can use a combination of any of these phrases.
42
I apologize for, I apologize for something.
43
Now, instead of saying I apologize, if you're upset, you want to apologize for something that you actually believe happened.
44
And your choice of words is important.
45
And this is an example.
46
I or we apologize for something.
47
For instance, I apologize for the mistake or for the mix-up.
48
Now mix-up is just another way of saying mistake.
49
Something was mixed up, a mistake was made.
50
Okay I apologize for the mix-up or I apologize for the mistake.
51
As I mentioned your choice of words is important.
52
So instead of saying I apologize if there was a mistake
53
or if someone made a mistake you want to be careful here and you want to say, I apologize for something.
54
Okay.
55
Even if the mistake was not made by you
56
and you're not a hundred percent sure that a mistake was made by saying, I apologize for this happening.
57
It makes the customer feel like you believe them and that you think that their problem is important, that this mistake is important.
58
Whereas I apologize if a mistake was made, sounds like it gives the impression that you kind of doubt
59
that a mistake was made or maybe a mistake wasn't really made
60
but if so i'm sorry instead you want to sound more sure of your apology okay
61
so be careful with your prepositions here
62
so i apologize for the mistake you can also use we instead of i
63
if you're apologizing on behalf of your team your department
64
or your company i apologize
65
or we apologize for the oversight now oversight is is a mistake
66
that is made when someone forgets to do something or essentially overlooks something.
67
That's kind of a synonym, okay?
68
Something is supposed to be done and the person responsible just forgot to do it, okay?
69
That's an oversight.
70
I apologize for the confusion or for the misunderstanding.
71
I apologize for the confusion or the misunderstanding.
72
Now, this phrase focuses more on the fact that there was a miscommunication
73
or a misunderstanding instead of whose fault it was okay instead of i apologize
74
that my colleague didn't explain that properly or i apologize
75
that you didn't understand that's not the best choice of words
76
it's kind of putting the blame on someone else instead you just want to focus on the fact
77
that there was a misunderstanding and you want to apologize for
78
that and then go ahead and shift your focus to finding a solution.
79
And I apologize for the inconvenience.
80
I apologize for the inconvenience.
81
This is a good one to use
82
if your customer has been waiting a long time or they've experienced any inconvenience that they shouldn't have.
83
Next, some useful phrases for solving a problem that your customer might have.
84
First up, let's find a solution for you.
85
Let's find a solution for you.
86
This is a nice phrase because it sounds collaborative.
87
It sounds like you and the customer
88
or client could be working together to find a solution
89
or you and your colleagues and your team could be working together to find a solution for your customer.
90
So this is a nice one for after you have listened to the issue, you've listened to the problem, you've taken the time to gather all the information you need,
91
make sure you understand the facts, and then you want to come up with a positive response and say, all right, let's find a solution for you.
92
Another option, I will look into that right away.
93
I will look into that right away.
94
Now look into is a nice phrasal verb to know.
95
Look into just means to investigate something further or get some more information about something.
96
Next, here's what we can do to resolve this issue.
97
Here's what we can do to resolve this issue.
98
Okay, so if your customer has faced a problem or an issue and you have a solution to present to them,
99
this is a great phrase to start the presentation of your solution or the steps that you might need to take.
100
Thank you for bringing this up or thank you for letting me know.
101
Thank you for bringing this up or thank you for letting me know.
102
This is a really nice one for when a customer or client has come to you with an issue, with a problem or with a concern.
103
You can start your response by thanking them for telling you first of all.
104
A lot of customers nowadays do not come to you with their concerns.
105
Instead they stay quiet, they say everything is okay, act like everything is okay, and then go online and leave a bad review.
106
And a lot of people or businesses are surprised because they never had the opportunity to provide a solution.
107
All right.
108
So this is a lovely one.
109
Next, let's look at some phrases for showing or expressing empathy.
110
Now, empathy is the ability to understand how someone else is feeling.
111
You put yourself in someone else's position and understand what they are experiencing or what they are going through.
112
Now it's important to empathize with your customers and with your clients because this shows that you value them,
113
you care about them, and it also helps to calm them down if they are upset about something.
114
Once you are able to empathize with your customers, it puts them in the right mindset to solve any problems.
115
When you show empathy to your customers, it helps to get them into the right mindset to be open to solving a problem.
116
So a good phrase for expressing empathy would be, I completely understand how adjective this must be for you.
117
I completely understand how frustrating this must be for you.
118
I completely understand how difficult this must be for you.
119
A lot of times when you have a customer who's upset, they want to be heard and understood.
120
That is a very first step to delivering good customer service is to listen
121
and to understand the issue that your customer is coming to you with.
122
All right.
123
Another option is I understand this situation has been difficult
124
and I will do everything I can to help you or I will do everything I can to solve it.
125
Now, this is a good one for a customer who has been facing an ongoing issue or an ongoing challenge.
126
and maybe you are not the first person that they've spoken to.
127
So they're becoming more and more frustrated and you want to empathize with them
128
and actually try to take the steps to solve the problem.
129
Another nice one is, I will do my best to help you with this.
130
I will do my best to help you with this.
131
Or if you want to be a little more formal, you could use the word assist instead of help.
132
I'll do my best to assist you with this.
133
Or I understand your concern.
134
I understand your concern.
135
Let's see what we can do for you.
136
I understand your concern.
137
Let's see what we can do.
138
Next is I would be happy to verb that for you.
139
I would be happy to check that for you.
140
I would be happy to do that for you.
141
I would be happy to arrange that for you.
142
And finally, I appreciate your patience.
143
I appreciate your patience.
144
This is a very simple but effective phrase because
145
when you acknowledge the fact that someone has had to be patient and has actually been patient, it really does mean a lot.
146
It helps your customer to realize that you actually care about them, that they are valuable to you, and it puts them in a more positive state of mind.
147
They're going to be more receptive to you and receptive to what you are saying to them.
148
Now with all of these phrases you can use them in combination with each other.
149
You can also adjust how formal you are.
150
Depending on where you live, where you work, the culture of your company, the culture of your location, you will have to adjust your level of formality.
151
Also keep in mind that when you are speaking on behalf of your company or your team, you can use the pronoun we.
152
And if you are speaking on behalf of yourself, of course, you can use I.
153
Now be careful with this one because sometimes when you're speaking to someone face to face, it's a one to one conversation and you keep saying we,
154
we, we, and there's no one else there.
155
It can seem a little bit impersonal and kind of like you're deflecting and you're putting the attention, you know, on a group of people who isn't even there.
156
So just be careful with this one.
157
Now it's also a good idea to use contractions and shorter sentences
158
or shorter versions of these sentences when you are speaking to someone.
159
You can use more formal and longer versions of these sentences
160
if you happen to be writing an email to a customer, for instance.
161
Remember that spoken English and written English are not the same, so you want to make sure that you are adjusting the phrase to best fit the situation.
162
Now, whether you work in customer service
163
or you need to improve your customer service skills in general for the position
164
that you have or that you are looking for, this is a topic that I teach in detail in the Essential English for Business course.

172

इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें
- पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
- 0.75× गति से शुरू करें, एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें, और सहज लगने पर सामान्य गति पर लौटें।
- अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर apologize, misunderstand, empathy जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
