✅ Psychology

Name the exact thing and people feel heard

Across lab studies and real retail support emails, customers rated agents higher, and later spent more, when the agent used concrete words, say “the grey wool jumper” instead of “that item”, “refund it today” instead of “look into it”. Specific language is proof you actually listened. Vague, safe phrasing reads as a template, even when the help underneath is identical.

💡 Why it matters

Specific words in replies, follow-ups and support messages make customers feel listened to, and that feeling shows up in satisfaction and repeat spend.
