HOW to communicate to my customers?!
What do I tell my customers about YOP? THIS CHANGE IS FOR THEM The reason we initiated the process for improving YOP is to ensure that our customers have better experiences navigating our platform. Every single change was made consciously for them, and was validated through testing of users and AIESECers themselves. AND WHAT IF THEY COMPLAIN? Think about the last time Facebook changed their layout. Were you frustrated? Maybe for a little while. Then you likely got used to it and forgot the changes that happened. This isn t so different. Upon initial launch of YOP, for sure customers can be disoriented, leading to frustration and potentially anger - yet it s our job to communicate why the changes were made and how this new platform will ease their process in finding their perfect opportunity! More than that, we are continuously working to make the platform better for them - and they can give feedback through Intercom as needed for us to better serve them. OTHER TIPS Let your current customers know in advance that a new refreshed platform is coming! Learn the new platform yourself to better support EPs and answer their questions Create a simple guide for how to understand the changes
