Communication

Expectation Setting

Say what will happen, when, and what the customer must do — and stick to it.

Level: Beginner•Duration: 2–3 hours•Status: Coming Soon

What you'll learn

✓How to set realistic timelines (and what happens when you don't)
✓The components of a complete expectation (what, when, who does what)
✓How to reset expectations without losing face
✓Red flags that indicate an expectation will fail

Why this matters

Unclear expectations double re-open rates and frustration. Operators who set clear expectations own their tickets and reduce support costs.

Core frameworks & concepts

The Expectation Template: Action → Timeline → Responsibility → Confirmation

Common mistakes to avoid

âš Setting timelines you can't meet
âš Assuming the customer knows what to do next
âš Not confirming the customer understood

What you can do after completion

Set expectations that customers actually follow. Reduce re-opens and follow-up questions by 30%+.
