SIMPLE brand #115 – Leslie O’Flahavan: The Power of Plain Language in Customer Experience

In this week’s episode of the SIMPLE brand podcast, I talk with Leslie O’Flahavan.

Leslie’s the owner and founder of E-WRITE where she helps Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and non-profit organizations learn how to write better for both their customers and their internal audiences.

And she’s the go-to authority on using plain language in customer experience and in the workplace.

Leslie and I discuss how you can use plain language to simplify your customer experience while setting up your frontline employees for success.

Here’s what we discuss:

    • How writing in business has changed (not devolved!) over the decades
    • How customer experience is like a romantic relationship
    • How brands can build up affinity with customers through plain language
    • The biggest drivers of complex and boring language from brands
    • How to build empathy with customers without increasing legal risk
    • How to empower frontline employees to incorporate plain language and brand voice
    • The need for consistent language and brand voice pre and post-purchase
    • Can and should empathy be scripted?
