What this is
Returns and support conversations are where many customers decide whether to buy again. They are also a hidden cost center when handled ad hoc. This course helps you write a clear returns and refund policy, set up a returns workflow, reduce avoidable returns at the source, and build a support system with templates, response standards and escalation rules. You will also learn to read the patterns in returns and tickets to improve products and listings. You finish with a policy, a returns workflow and a support playbook for your store.
You work through it at your own pace, lesson by lesson, applying each exercise to your own situation. It does not promise sales, profit or a particular income; results depend on your products, your market, your budget and your execution.
What you will be able to do
- Write a returns and refund policy that is clear, fair and consistent with consumer rules
- Design a returns workflow from request to restock or disposal
- Reduce avoidable returns through better listings, sizing and packaging
- Set response time standards and build reusable reply templates
