Every business has a thumb-rule – be where your customers are. Today’s customer is constantly on their phone and prefers a quick text over a long-drawn phone call or an email. If they shop in real-time, naturally they expect all problems to be resolved in real-time. With this real-time response model, live chat support saves precious time for the customer, thereby making it convenient for them to use.
- It humanizes the brand and improves customer retention.
A live support chat service allows the brand to help the customer in a human, personable manner. This kind of a personalized approach fosters customer’s trust in the brand and retains their relationship with it.
- It generates leads.
More often than not, it’s the service experience that has the customer invested in the brand. If a customer has a good experience once, they will return to renew it again – by diversifying their interest in other products and features of your brand. A simple tactic, constant leads.

A large number of web users can and prefer helping themselves. However, when they do need help and cannot find it easily, it hampers their experience. A strategically placed live support chat service can help overcome any limitations in their browsing experience, making the website more robust and accessible.
- It helps your Sales Team realize the ABC motto.
Always Be Closing – a live chat customer support can help realize this. In helping the customer resolve any issues, a chat support agent has myriad opportunities to upsell and cross-sell other aspects of your business/service.

A live chat support service drastically cuts down on the resolution time, has much lower customer support costs than traditional phone-based customer support, and improves overall support efficiency. All this coupled with the ROI it brings, it is definitely a pocket-friendly approach to customer servicing.
- It gives you intangible customer insights in a tangible manner.
It is impossible to quantify the reasoning of the customer’s mindset. It is, however, possible to observe and learn from it. By viewing customer behaviour on the website, listening to their expectations and auditing their concerns, a wealth of customer insights can be collected which can further feedback into improving the brand experience and sales.
- It provides definitive metrics to measure ROI.
Cost-per-contact, First Contact Resolution, Customer Satisfaction, Escalation Rate, Deflection Rate, Shopping Cart Abandonment Rate are just some of the metrics that are made available through a live chat support service that the traditional platforms of customer support service do not offer.

With the right chat support outsourcing service, the entire process is taken care of by experienced executives who are specially trained in building rapport with the customers, while remaining true to the brand principles.

A live chat support service brings this experience to the table. It shows the customers that the brand is invested in cutting-edge technologies and is willing to go the extra mile to deliver satisfaction.
