I'm not a customer support agent but I took a basic customer support training at my previous company to get better at communication.

If I remembered anything from the education it's this:

You have to address the customer's emotional needs before addressing the customer's business need.

If you don't you end up with an unhappy customer who had his problem solved. I don't see an AI satisfying my emotional needs any time soon.



There's nothing more painfully frustrating than a customer service agent that tries to handle what they think are my emotional needs.

My emotional needs are that they fix their damn service.
