Live Chat Support Training Course
Our Live Chat Support Training Course is a half day course that looks at best practice and tips and techniques to help deliver high-quality customer service to your customers who choose to use Live Chat Support.
Many businesses today are turning to Live Chat Support as a further channel of communication for their customers. What we don’t always recognise is 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 holding on for longer than necessary or where poor spelling and punctuation exist, customers will leave with a bad impression of the company.
This course will introduce best practice methods for using live help chat software. The course will look at how to best use the system and how to ensure the customer or potential customer perceives the business as professional whilst using the chat system.
This session looks at what anyone can do to give exceptional customer service via live chat systems.
