Where to employ people in live chat?

8 replies
Hi,

We have just built a site that are targeting Europe and America, and I would like to deploy a live chat session for answering customer inquiries and do customer service.

We don't have a budget to employ a full time staff and I also don't think there will be much inquiries in the beginning. Anyone withe experience that we can outsource?

How to you manage them (Cause really do care customer experience)?

Million thanks!

Ringo

    If you're going to be answering the questions you can do it for free with Olark | Live chat with your customers for sales and support . I use it on my site and it works great.

    We have seen a lot of sites using Chatwing for live social support. Social support is interesting because it does not require the site admin to be there. Instead other users help answering questions and you can still chime in when your free. Bookmarking the chat as an app icon on your phone is helpful also, so you can answer and chat on the go from anywhere.

    Meebo me live support was a pretty good live chat solution until google bought them.

    If you're in need of outsourcing your customer support/service, you have to look in for the reliable support. This is because they're the ones who are about to handle your long time customers instead of you. In such cases, you do have to analyze various service providers who are worth enough to assist your business.

    In such cases, you can check in with the outsourcing providers like Integracustomersupport, etc. This is because, i'm quite sure that you can avail a better solution in outsourcing customer support.
