- Tone matches the situation and relationship
- No commitments beyond what's authorized
- No product roadmap details that shouldn't be shared externally
- Accurate references to previous conversations
- Clear next steps and ownership

- 未做出超出授权范围的承诺
- 未包含不应对外分享的产品路线图细节

After presenting the draft:
- "Want me to adjust the tone? (more formal, more casual, more empathetic, more direct)"

- "Want me to make this shorter/longer?"
- "Should I draft a version for a different stakeholder?"
- "Want me to draft the internal escalation note as well?"
- "Should I prepare a follow-up message to send after [X days] if no response?"
展示草稿后:
- “需要我调整语气吗?(更正式、更随意、更共情、更直接)”
- “是否需要添加或删除特定要点?”
- “需要我缩短/加长内容吗?”
- “需要我为不同的利益相关者起草版本吗?”
- “需要我同时起草内部升级说明吗?”
- “需要我准备一份在[X天后]未收到回复时发送的跟进消息吗?”
Customer Communication Best Practices
客户沟通最佳实践
Core Principles
核心原则
- Lead with empathy: Acknowledge the customer's situation before jumping to solutions
- Be direct: Get to the point — customers are busy. Bottom-line-up-front.
- Be honest: Never overpromise, never mislead, never hide bad news in jargon
- Be specific: Use concrete details, timelines, and names — avoid vague language
- Own it: Take responsibility when appropriate. "We" not "the system" or "the process"
- Close the loop: Every response should have a clear next step or call to action
- Match their energy: If they're frustrated, be empathetic first. If they're excited, be enthusiastic.
- 以共情开篇: 在提供解决方案前,先认可客户的处境
- 直截了当: 直奔主题——客户时间宝贵,重要信息前置
- 保持诚实: 绝不过度承诺,绝不误导,绝不用行话掩盖坏消息
- 具体明确: 使用具体细节、时间线和名称——避免模糊表述
- 主动担责: 适当情况下承担责任。用“我们”而非“系统”或“流程”
- 闭环沟通: 每一次回复都应有清晰的后续步骤或行动号召
- 匹配客户情绪: 如果客户不满,先共情;如果客户兴奋,保持热情

- Break up long responses with headers or bullet points
DON'T:
- Use corporate jargon or buzzwords ("synergy", "leverage", "paradigm shift")

- Use passive voice to avoid ownership ("Mistakes were made")
- Include unnecessary caveats or hedging that undermines confidence

建议:
- 使用主动语态(“我们将展开调查”而非“此事将被调查”)
- 个人承诺用“我”,团队承诺用“我们”
- 分配任务时提及具体人员(“我们工程团队的Sarah将...”)
- 使用客户的术语,而非内部行话
- 使用具体日期和时间,而非相对表述(“1月24日周五前”而非“几天后”)

避免:
- 使用企业行话或流行词(如“协同效应”、“杠杆作用”、“范式转移”)
- 将责任推给其他团队、系统或流程
- 用被动语态逃避责任(如“出现了错误”)
