Have Some Questions?
Here are some of the common questions we get asked about our live chat support training course:
Our live chat support courses are delivered by our friendly and highly experienced trainers. We live and breathe what we talk about in these sessions as we use most of the tools and techniques ourselves on a daily bases and bring this real-world experience into the session and the examples that we use.
Many businesses today are turning to Live Chat Support as a further channel of communication for their customers. We don’t always recognise that the same level of customer service standards should still apply online as they do in face to face interactions.
When mistakes are made, customers hold on for longer than necessary or where poor spelling and punctuation exist, customers will leave with a bad impression of the company. If not managed correctly, live chat can have a negative impact on your brand and company.
There are too many platforms out there for us to look at these in the course. The course focuses much more on soft skills than technical platform skills. That said, we have researched a lot of these so are happy for you to ask us any questions you have during the course.
It’s a mindset change more than anything. Because it’s instant messenger, some people treat it like they are chatting with their friends online. It’s easy to fall into that mindset. You get time to think and read back over what you write with emails. With live chat, there is added pressure as we know the customer is there waiting for us to reply.
