Benchmark Email LiveChat Integration
Your customers are the bosses. Without them, your business won’t even survive. And in order to keep them and get them to say nothing but good things about your company, you need to invest in easy access tools that will keep them happy.
The ultimate goal of your customer service team is to provide value and to ensure that it doesn't go unnoticed among your customers. But these efforts could use all the help they can get, and it might be time to look into a new tool to help get the job done.
A customer experience platform, like LiveChat, could be just what they need to offer high-quality service and support to customers in need.
LiveChat allows you to communicate with your website visitors in real-time and resolve customer issues across different support channels.
Since one of the most important and popular customer support channels is email, building a Benchmark Email integration with LiveChat was a no-brainer.
Let’s see why your customer support team needs the Benchmark Email LiveChat integration and why it will soon become their preferred way for facilitating customer outreach.
Why Use LiveChat?
LiveChat is a great communication tool that will help your customer service team address inquiries in a matter of minutes and import data on your customers safely. Let's take a closer look into what using this tool offers you.
Stronger Customer Relationships
Trust is the foundation of any lasting relationship, and LiveChat helps you build that trust.
With LiveChat, you can speed up your interactions, so customers aren't waiting for a response and get exactly what they need in each of their chat sessions. And when customers' problems are being solved within a specified time, they'll leave each conversation happy, knowing they can trust your company in the future to offer that same hands-on, proactive support.
Maintain Customer Data Safely
We’re in an age where privacy is more of an issue than ever before. People don't love it when their information is sold to other companies or is used in any way that feels violating. Therefore, it's important that your customers know exactly how you handle their data, as this could be a deal-breaker when it comes to doing business with your company.
It’s a good thing that LiveChat takes privacy very seriously. With their data encryption, access restriction, GDPR compliance, and Privacy Shield Certification, you can be sure that your company and customer data are totally safe.
Maintain Customer Data Safely
Every high-performing and competitive company needs to continue increasing sales and profits. And the only way to achieve this is if you keep your customers satisfied by using methods they respond well to.
Long gone are the days of pushy salespeople using aggressive outreach to persuade prospects into buying a product. With LiveChat, you can boost revenue simply by having a conversation with customers on your site. Use features like product cards to easily showcase products within your chat window and gain potential interest. It's just another way your team can offer live chat support and increase potential sales without appearing too overbearing or forceful.
Reduce Spending
If you have lots of customers, then investing in LiveChat could also be a way to save money. Instead of hiring tons of support representatives, LiveChat makes it easy for one agent to engage in numerous customer chats at once. And since the live chat feature is easy to use on the backend, your team can still provide exceptional attention and care without worrying about fatigue
