The right way to respond to feature requests

Paulina Welnic · Intercom Free Beginner

This is the piece about the conversation itself, so the customer feels heard even when the answer is no. It walks through questioning the request, understanding the goal behind it, and closing the loop honestly rather than going silent. Use it for the exact wording that keeps the relationship intact.

• Acknowledge and question the request before you judge it
• Uncover the goal the customer is chasing, not just the feature they named
• Always close the loop, since silence is what actually loses customers
