Overview
Live Chat provides convenience, speed and reduction in the customer’s effort to reach us. Being a major customer service channel, it requires specific skills in order to improve customer experience. It might seem that chat is simple, easy, no problem!! However chats, unlike words, stay in the customer’s possession. A quick copy / paste by the customer to the wrong people or media can enhance or destroy a company’s reputation. With Customer Satisfaction as the main objective, the chat agent needs focused training on soft skills such as greeting, opening, setting the tone, probing, understanding, critical reading, providing answers and solutions, wrapping up the chat and personalized good byes.
