Chat rules #
- Stick to the business style of communication. Politeness and respect for the client are the basis of business correspondence and good sales.
- Try to be literate. If you are not confident in your abilities, there are many free services on the Internet for quick text verification.
- Express only positive emotions. There are many reasons to be happy: the client made an order, left a positive review, or received a discount. And if something bad happens, it is better not to multiply the negative, but try to figure it out and help. If you lack skills, recommend the client to contact Ozon support. If you think that a client is spamming or behaving indecently, you can file a complaint in the chat.
- Provide information that only meets the terms of the contract for sellers, the client offer, including the knowledge base, and consumer protection legislation. If the сontract or the client’s offer provides for a different procedure than the legislation, the conditions reflected in these documents have an advantage. Please note that the deadlines for accepting returns of products from clients may differ from the deadlines established by law upwards.
- Do not use uppercase text, excessive punctuation marks and emojis.
