Multichannel Customer Service – CallBack – Chat – VoIP

According to a 2011 Forrester Consulting research, phone is still the preferred communication channel for Customer support. 79% of those surveyed declared to prefer a “voice conversation” considering it more efficient and fast than other channels.

Going deeper into the analysis, the top three priorities for consumers are:

– Interact with a customer service representative quickly

– Have my query resolved quickly

– Interact with a real person

With only 19% of the preferences Web Self Service dosen’t appear to be very popular.

Here at Vivocha we believe that offering the possibility to interact on multiple channels – including Voice, Chat and VoIP – directly on the web site, might satisfy both the needs for efficiency and cost reduction of companies than the needs for better and more satisfying interactions for the customer, especially when coupled with advanced collaboration tools like Co-browsing, form sharing or page pushing.

We strongly believe in giving you the tools to engage your customers using the best communication channel in every circumstance, so we developed a powerful Proactive Engine that will allow to set specific rules to balance the use of more efficient chat interactions with more engaging voice communications.

Proactive Engagement: does it scare visitors?

One of the most common questions I get asked during Vivocha presentations concerns Proactive Engagement features.

Anyone, almost constantly, keep asking: “do proactive invitations scare visitors, do I risk making them run away? Let’s make an analogy with real life experience

What happens when you walk into a store and a shop assistant politely, gently, offers help in finding the product that best suits your needs ? Do you get scared and run away? Probably not

Few months ago we surveyed more than 1,700 online shoppers about Online Customer Service; one of the question was: “If – while browsing an ecommerce site – you will be offered live support via a personalized popup or banner, how would you rate the service”

Contrary to popular thinking, our research shows that customers have a very positive attitude towards proactive engagement, 35% of respondents will see it positively, an additional 20% will increase its buying attitude if offered live support. Only 2% will be disappointed by the support offer leaving the site.

As in real life the only real risk is to fail approach; to be too invasive or send out an invitation at the wrong time.

The Vivocha Proactive Engine manages web page components (contents, graphics, forms…) and, based on customizable parameters and rules, proposes different possible interactions to the visitor/customer ,such as chatting with a consultant or scheduling a telephone callback, thus offering the best possible web experience.

Vivocha’s engagement engine is fully proactive, meaning that you can easily decide when and who to engage, based on wide variety of rules: where’s you visitor coming from? What did she/he search on Google? Was it a click on a banner? How often has she visited a certain product page?

The Vivocha Proactive Engine includes all the tools for optimizing the Online Engagement of visitors/customers: it monitors navigation, optimizes contact opportunities and enhances the web experience. Thanks to the Proactive Engine it is possible to offer support exclusively to visitors who really need it, those visitors, for example, who display dissatisfaction in the self-service or FAQ areas.

And, of course, all of it is amazingly simply to setup!

When done right proactive engagement can boost online sales thanks to a significant increase in the conversion rate, while improving customer satisfaction, retention and loyalty.

Online Customer Service: going beyond web self-care

46% of consumers expect great customer support online from the brands they love, and a further 33% say that a commitment to excellent customer service is a significant factor in their loyalty to the brand. These are the key findings of a recent survey conducted by The CMO Council (http://www.cmocouncil.org/) on more than 1300 consumers.

77% of consumers responding to the survey say they go to a company’s website to search its content when seeking answers, product, or troubleshooting. And they want it fast: 41% said they expect their issues to be addressed either immediately (22%) or within an hour (19%).
