4 Live Support Benefits You Might Not Know

You might know live support as the little box in the corner of a website that offers advice when you are shopping online. Maybe you think it’s just an arm of customer service and that’s it. Well, there are a host of potential benefits that you may not have considered. It could help your business to bring in more customers, keep those customers and to run more efficiently overall.

Let’s take a look:

 

1.    Omnichannel Support

Some live support software’s will have omnichannel messaging capabilities. This means that in addition to customers contacting you through your website and vice versa, they can contact you through their preferred platform such as Facebook Messenger or Twitter.

Smart Tip:

2.    Lead Generation

In addition to customer service, live support could help with lead generation. You can reach out to visitors that land on your site from adverts or blogs with pop-up windows and collect lead information for future nurturing when in conversation.
