How Meowtel Chat Builds Trust & Happy Cat Parents
As a Meowtel cat sitter, you care not only for kitties but also for their humans' peace of mind. That’s where the power of communication comes in. Meowtel’s in-app chat isn’t just a feature—it’s your magic wand for whisker-to-whisker trust. By sending proactive updates, using a warm and reassuring tone, and responding promptly, you can turn first-time customers into lifelong Meowtel fans. Let’s dive into how you can make every chat a paw-sitive experience!
The Power of Proactive Updates
Imagine being miles away from your kitty, wondering how they’re doing. Providing proactive updates is the antidote to this anxiety. These updates reassure customers that their beloved felines are in loving hands and keep them connected, even from afar.
1. Example: Instead of waiting for a customer to ask, send a quick update after your first visit – remember to also include photos and/or videos: “Hi Janet, I just finished up my first visit, and Fluffy greeted me at the door when I arrived! They ate all their breakfast and we enjoyed some playtime. I’ll send another update after my evening visit! ✨”
The Tone of Voice Matters
Your tone in chat messages can make all the difference. A warm, friendly, and professional approach builds trust and puts customers at ease.
1. Best Practices: Use emojis sparingly to add warmth. Keep the language warm, polite, reassuring, and professional, while embracing Meowtel’s cat-centric voice.
2. Example: Instead of: “Fed Fluffy. She ate.” Try: “Hi, just finished feeding Fluffy. She gobbled up her meal with gusto and is now curled up for a post-dinner nap. Such a content kitty! ✨”
Quick Responses
Fast responses show customers that you're attentive and reliable. Even if you don’t have a full answer right away, acknowledging the message helps.
1. Best Practices: If customers have questions about their visits or reservations, follow up promptly! Keep them informed about changes in their cat’s behavior or concerns regarding their well-being. Reassure them that you're here to help and closely monitor their fur baby
2. Example: Customer: “Hi, I noticed Fluffy threw up a bit before I left this morning. How were they when you arrived this afternoon? Sitter: “Thanks for letting me know. Fluffy seems to be doing just fine, but I will monitor them during my visit tonight and update you once I get to your home.”
