Support Hangout Episode #8

August 1, 2013 By Chase Clemons Leave a Comment

This week we talk about Apple’s silence during their long Developer Website downtime. Then we move on to treating angry customers like toddlers and some ideas to get the customer to actually check out your help site first (aka RTFM). To wrap things up, it’s a fun look at the voice and tone customers hear from your company.

All that and more from the best team in customer support on this episode of the live Support Hangout!
