Customer Service for Every Web Commerce Site

One of the hottest new trends in online customer service is one-on-one live text chat made possible by live chat software and ebusiness software. Many web commerce sites use this software, which allows a visitor to their site click a button and connect to a customer service representative immediately.

The way customer service software such as this works is that you type in your questions and a person on the other end answers them in real time. Servicing customers with chat could cost as little as 25 cents per transaction compared with $1.25 for each phone transaction. This statistic is a true sign of the reduced customer service costs and reduced interaction costs that live chat software provides.

Web callback technologies provide a nearly instant way to communicate as well. Web callback allows a customer to request help and have a customer service representative call them back immediately. Combined with browser sharing, forms collaboration, and screen capture tools it's possible for a customer service rep to see exactly the same screens and forms.

Unfortunately, many companies find themselves buried under an avalanche of email and find no effective way to sort messages by topic or problem. Oftentimes, most of the emails regard the same problems that visitors are having over and over again. Auto responder software can reduce email problems by answering commonly asked questions on the spot. There truly is an automated customer service for every web commerce site!
