How to ask a customer for more information

Customers get annoyed when asked for information in several rounds. Ask for everything you need once, in a short list, and say why.

Copy-ready templates

Replace the [brackets] with your details. Change the tone to fit your relationship with the reader.

Technical issue

Hi [Name], thanks for reporting this. To find the cause, could you send me: 1) a screenshot of the error, 2) your order number, and 3) the browser and device you are using? Once I have that I will look into it straight away.

Order problem

Hi [Name], I am sorry about the trouble with your order. To fix it quickly, could you reply with the order number and a photo of the item? I will take care of the rest.

Not enough detail

Hi [Name], thanks for writing. I want to be sure I solve the right problem. Could you tell me what you expected to happen and what happened instead? A screenshot would also help.

Tips

Or rewrite your own draft in one keystroke

Typing a quick draft and fixing the tone is faster than starting from a template. This is a real rewrite from NudgeWrite, using the Friendly tone:

Rough draft

cant fix it without more info, send screenshots and the order number

After NudgeWrite (Friendly)

Sure! I’ll need a bit more info to help you out—could you please send over some screenshots and your order number?

Select your draft in Gmail, Outlook, Zendesk or any text box, press Cmd+E (Ctrl+E on Windows), pick a tone and click Replace. 50 free rewrites, no card.
