Why do we have to make sure we do not speak too fast when communicating with a customer?

• They may not hear everything you've said like promotions or special products
• The customer may speak fast also because you are
• It may give the customer a migraine
• The customer may get excited and burst into song

Paraphrasing is....

• Repeating a customer's order back to them exactly the way they said it
• Asking the customer to repeat their order again
• Informing the customer of the process they must follow to place their order
• Relaying the order (or message) back to the customer to ensure you understand their request
