Also, by incorporating these solutions into your customer journey, you can provide self-service options for your customers and help reduce the number of calls to your support team. Improve your business and your customer’s experience!
Text message
Sometimes, voice communication can cause issues for customer service and may cause inconvenience in communication. Many customers prefer text; SMS messaging almost always ensures better engagement with the recipient. Stats reveal that people share more than 22 billion text messages per day. More than 90% of people like to interact with businesses through text messages.
Helpful hint: When setting up your protocols, ensure that you are aware of any chat enabled platforms that pose restrictions on the word and character count.
