Why You Should Consider Live Help Now (for live chat or chatbot)

Problem

Your website isn’t performing how you’d like it to in City without live chat or chatbot software:

  • Traffic isn’t turning into Sales
  • Customers can only call for help and you don’t have enough agents to handle the volume.

Your customer support in City is slow, inefficient and makes mistakes:

  • Unhappy agents. Agents are slow, make mistakes, and have a high turnover rate because they’re frustrated.
  • No visibility. Your leadership needs better data on your support interactions to help improve conversions, answer customer questions, and train your agents.
  • No stored knowledge. Your customers have frequently asked questions that are taking up valuable time for your team and you don’t have a knowledge base to send them to.
  • Data Security. You’d like customers in City to be able to share sensitive information (like credit card numbers or personal health information) but don’t have a system in place to protect their data.
  • The pain. You’ve implemented software before (like a CRM, ugh!), know how painful it can be, and don’t have a technical team in place who can do it by themselves.

What’s Holding you Back?

  • But I can get Chat Software for FREE?
    • Although it is typically for a single user, it won’t save your history, doesn’t allow for downloads, seldom meets HIPPA requirements, or the most valuable features cost too much.
  • My CRM also sells Chat Software.
    • While it sounds convenient, most CRM chat is basic–it’s like calling Notepad Word. It typically can’t handle text messaging, Facebook Messenger integration, and you’re stuck with a non-customizable support portal.
  • My team is busy and doesn’t have time for chat
    • Many customers would rather chat, text, or submit service tickets than pick up the phone (and wait on hold or want to remain “shoppers” without being pitched). Plus, your agents can handle more conversations at once.
  • I already have chat or ticket system
    • Please see the competitive matrix.
  • My team is already texting with customers from their phones
    • This is a sign of an antiquated chat system that doesn’t support SMS–leaving no history or continuity in the main system (a recipe for disaster). No wonder you are looking 😉
  • We have too many other priorities right now.
    • Your website visitors won’t wait for you to get around to offering great service. Offering omnichannel communications can be the difference between a purchase from your company or your competitor.

Your Old life

Your customer tried the phone (took a detective to find the number)–but only got voice mail. Ugg

They tried your chat… in fact they are still waiting. No chatbots or knowledge base for self-help, and it still says a 10-minute wait. Right.

You finally get through… and the agent doesn’t know the most basic answers (no backend knowledgebase, no way to escalate, no supervisor?). They don’t even remember the prior visit an hour ago.

Then you’re told it’s the wrong department–but they can’t re-route you (re-chat and click…). Or worse yet, “let me submit a ticket.” Just kill me now!

Your reviews suck!

 

Your NEW life

You’re digging around the support site, but this time a, “Need help” automatic chat pops up.

You almost got your answer with the self-help (that was cool), but you still click “Live Person.”

You get through, but your agent in City doesn’t know the answer (his supervisor “whispers” a few responses, but sees it needs escalation), so in seconds another agent (advanced support) has been introduced and auto-connected. He sends a screenshot image and viola–problem solved.

In fact, his response was so quick it’s as though he could see your keystrokes while typing (because he could 😉.

Life is good. Reviews are good. Somebody’s getting a bonus!
