Live Chat – the telephony in written form:

There is an increasing desire to talk to someone online and directly. Live Chat is a very interesting additional customer service channel in this regard. Customers with an inquiry are able to contact an advisor directly, usually by clicking on a chat button. A chat can also be actively offered and started by one of the service staff. Experienced agents find it very easy to have up to three or four conversations at the same time without any loss of quality. Text modules can be used to answer quickly and efficiently to basic questions The advantages are obvious: as a rule, to use the chat function you don’t have to discontinue using the media that is currently used. You use it directly where you happen to be, in the “moment of truth”. Customer stay on the website for longer, the conversion rate increases and the channel offers additional up- and cross-selling possibilities.
