📱 COMMUNICATION PRO: TEXTS, GIFS & CUSTOMER RAPPORT

DasherU Pro membership required · 7 lessons

The Most Underrated Earnings Multiplier

Most Dashers pick up the food, drop it off, and say nothing. The top earners in our community communicate proactively — and it shows in their ratings, their tips, and their weekly income.

A well-timed "on my way" text with a fun animated GIF takes 15 seconds to send and can be the difference between a 4-star and a 5-star rating. This course gives you a complete communication playbook for every scenario you'll encounter on the job.

📱 Pro Tip: The best "on my way" texts include: the customer's name, an estimated arrival time, and a light, warm emoji or GIF. Avoid formal language — people want to feel like they're hearing from a friendly human, not a bot.
