How to maximize customer benefit from live chat

  • Be responsive. Resourcing your support agents is critical for successful Live Chat. Smart chatbots can be used at busy times or in peak load scenarios, to handle initial queries until a human agent becomes available.
  • Personalise the experience so that the caller feels comfortable and in good hands. Ensure agents can quickly transfer a session to a more knowledgeable or senior staff member when the need arises.
