How to end a conversation
Learn how to end a conversation with customers in a polite, professional, and respectful manner by using common conversation-ending phrases, proper vocabulary, tone, and style, and personalizing your message. Our customer service scripts and templates provide examples for different support channels, including phone, email, live chat, and social media interactions.
When communicating with customers, clients, or prospects, finding the right way to end an email and break off a conversation is just as critical as a proper opening. In fact, closing an interaction in a professional, polite, and respectful manner can actually transform even what may have started as an unpleasant conversation into a positive customer service experience and leave a customer with a good final impression.
Basic tips for ending conversations with customers
- Use one or several most common conversation-ending phrases that are relevant to the topic of the interaction (thanking a customer, restating your apology, informing of the next steps, etc.).
- Choose the right vocabulary, tone, and style that is best appropriate to your audience.
- Adjust your closing statements to fit different support channels. Phone and email conversations typically require a more formal language, while live chat and social media interactions are usually more casual.
- Avoid using the same closing phrase at the end of each interaction as it might sound too generic and robotic – personalize your message whenever possible.
- End on a high note by asking a customer if there’s anything else you could help with or encouraging them to get in touch again in the future.
- Make sure your closing statement is polite, friendly, and leaves an overall positive impression.
