This guide shares best practices to help you feel confident and successful in every chat session. 💬✨

💖 Be Warm, Welcoming, and Attentive

A strong chat experience starts with genuine hospitality.

👋 Greet Customers Immediately

Why: Creates trust and sets a warm tone.
Example greetings:

  • "Hi there 😊 Thanks for joining me! I’m tuning in now. Could you share your birthday and the name of your POI?"

  • "Welcome! I’m happy to connect with you today. Tell me what’s on your heart."

  • "Hi! Before I begin, may I have your DOB and theirs? That helps me tap in more clearly."

🌡️ Check In on Their Mood

Why: Helps you adjust your delivery.

Examples:

  • "How are you feeling today?"

  • "I’m here for you — is this a heavy situation, or something you’re just seeking clarity on?"

  • "I can share the messages directly or gently — which would you prefer?"

🤗 End with a Friendly Invitation

Why: Encourages return visits and reinforces support.

Examples:

  • "Thanks for chatting with me today 💛 I’m here anytime you need more clarity."

  • "Feel free to reach out again — happy to guide you whenever you need."

  • "If any questions come up later, I’m just a message away."


🧩 Keep Messages Clear, Steady, and Easy to Read

⏱️ Acknowledge Quickly

Example acknowledgments:

  • "Got your question — tapping in now."

  • "One moment, connecting to your energy."

  • "Reading your message, and getting impressions. Hold on just a sec!"

🔮 Narrate Your Process

Examples:

  • "Shuffling your cards now…" (followed by next message)

  • "Looking at the energy between you and him..."

  • "Pulling one more card for timing…"

✂️ Break Up Long Messages

Here’s an example of segmented messaging:

Instead of one long block:
"He has feelings but he’s holding back because of past hurt and he’s unsure what direction to take with you, but I see movement after March…"

Try this:
1️⃣ "He does have feelings — that’s clear."
2️⃣ "What’s holding him back is past hurt. He’s cautious."
3️⃣ "I do see forward movement starting around March."

This pacing feels supportive and helps the customer follow your reading.


🎙️ Use Voice-to-Text for Faster Responses

No sample needed — but you can add a quick reminder:

“Using voice-to-text today, so responses might flow quickly!”


📝 Take Notes to Personalize Every Experience

Examples of helpful notes:

  • "POI: Mark — works nights, tends to pull away under stress."

  • "Issue: timing concerns — long-distance relationship."

  • "Customer prefers gentle wording."

  • "Last reading: advised waiting 2 weeks before reaching out."

Example follow-up Mail based on notes:

"Hi! Just checking in like we talked about — this seems like the week energy starts shifting for you. If you want to look at next steps together, I’m here 💛"
