Live Chat for building relationship with customers

Live Chat for enhancing relationship with customers

“Communication – the human connection – is the key to personal and career success.”- Paul J. Meyer

Personally and professionally, communication is a powerful medium that can dictate success or failure. Companies know that customer relationship is vital and these relationships can be easily maintained by Live Chat.

63% of customers said they were more likely to return to a website that offers live chat as opposed to one that doesn’t.

77% of customers won’t make a purchase if there’s no live chat support.

Live chat works so well at keeping customers happy because it brings together the best aspects of digital service and traditional service.

LIVE CHAT- MARRIAGE OF DIGITAL MEDIA AND PEOPLE:

You get the efficiency of digital interactions and the warm, personal interactions of real people. Customers get quick help, but they don’t have the anguish of talking to a robot. That’s the kind of marriage that you know will go the distance — as long as you use them in the right balance. To make proper use of digital efficiency, use proactive live chat to interact with customers as soon as they come looking for help or even before they realize they need it. The proactive invites are easy to set up in most live chat software and allow you to personalize that first programmed invite to the customer’s specific situation. Their great advantage is the ability to cut down the time it takes for a valued customer, that has encountered a problem, to get a resolution that will keep them happy. You need your live chat agents to be chatty and personable. Live chat is so great at keeping customers happy (and maintaining those important relationships) because of the marriage between digital and people. Don’t fail at offering a human touch.

ACCURACY AS WELL AS SPEED:

The most important element of any customer service channel IS providing useful answers to customer questions. This should be the primary requirement of any channel. Customers shouldn’t have to jump through hoops or do any extra work just to get your help or a useful solution to their problem. Keep customers happy and that relationship strong with the first contact problem resolution. Chat does come with the advantage of being able to rewrite before you hit send (so you can perfect your response).

CUSTOMER OPENNESS- YOUR ADVANTAGE:

Loyal customers are pretty responsive. Unlike customers who have only just started buying from you, they are more than likely to speak up when they aren’t happy. If an unhappy customer comes to chat, solve their problem, but then use their openness to your advantage. In fact, customers (old and new) are usually far more open on live chat compared to other customer service channels. It’s a little informal, and although they are speaking to someone directly, the sense of anonymity lets them tell you the truth. So… get encouraging customers to open up. Ask them for details on their experiences. There could be some real gems in their responses that could be used to tweak your product or service to make loyal customers even happier and to attract more new customers. Give your live chat agents a clear channel for recording their feedback.

KEEP CUSTOMERS HAPPY:

Not surprising, the best method for maintaining relationships with customers is keeping them happy. If you’re using live chat (or considering using live chat), then you have a secret weapon at your disposal. Keeping customers happy means providing quick, friendly, and accurate responses — something that live chat happens to do fantastically. To maintain that loyalty, customers have with you, you’ve got to make sure they still love the products and services you provide. Enter the openness of customers on live chat and you put what they say into action.

Want to build relationships faster, grow your customer base and increase revenue? Then talk more, talk more often and make these conversations as productive as possible. That is the essence of chat and the reason why chat is resulting in such success.

GDPR : All you need to know about the big data privacy revolution!

GDPR

What exactly is GDPR?

GDPR is a solution to customers’ woes!

The entire world is familiar and “scared” after the latest cases of data breaches.

Well, in today’s era, data breaches are real. Some people with malicious intent steal your data and then eventually mishandle it.

GDPR is one such legal framework, introduced by the European Commission to eliminate such mishaps. This data privacy revolution sets guidelines for the collection and processing of personal information of individuals within the European Union (EU).

When does GDPR come into force and whom does it apply to? 

Though the European Commission came up with a plan to protect valuable data so as to make Europe ‘fit for the digital age’. However, the regulation was enforced after six long years. Thereafter, it has finally come into force today, i.e. 25th May 2018.

Coming to the application of GDPR, it applies to all the organizations operating within the European Union, no matter what scale or size. The regulation further applies to the businesses outside EU which offer goods or services to customers or businesses in the EU.

GDPR compliance: 

As per the terms of GDPR, the organizations have to ensure the following things without failing:

  • The personal data (name, address, photos, and IP address) should be gathered legally and under strict conditions.
  • The data is protected from misuse and exploitation.

In case an organization fails at doing so, it will have to face certain penalties. They may have to pay fines up to €20 million or 4% of their global annual sales, whichever is bigger.

The ultimate warning:

If an organization has always abided by the respective data protection rules, GDPR won’t be much of an issue. However, for the businesses that have taken data privacy lightly all these years, most importantly the small-scale businesses that don’t even realize they are impacted, GDPR is going to be a real trouble.

GDPR, in no way, doesn’t stop the organizations from serving their customers and collecting their data. However, the businesses need to ensure that they are collecting and storing this valuable customer data on a lawful basis. They further have to ensure that they respect the wishes of people who want to have their data deleted.

The regulation mainly aims at boosting the rights of individuals and enable them to control their data. So, the organizations that fail at providing the desired proofs of proper handling of sensitive data, they are sure to face penalties within 72 hours of the data breach.
