I received this email today. While this is a B2C example, I think we can all see the risks inherent to any of our businesses. I did not edit this email at all, outside of deleting the reference number.

Now, this wasn’t the most personal email I’ve ever received. Especially since this is the third time I have received this exact email from a tech!
Scripts are useful, and they help ensure consistent service. But over-reliance on them really doesn’t help. Using the exact same message coming three times shows you are inauthentic, let alone signing off as !
Have a great holiday weekend!
