（previous article）(1/7) Customize your chat design freely and set up your favorite chat
This time we will tell about chat operation method.
Offensive chat or Defensive chat
The purpose of introducing chat system and chat bot is roughly divided into two. Are you going to take communication with offensive chat or reduce support cost with defensive chat? Which would you prefer?
Offensive chat
The most effective use of chat support and chat bot is "offensive chat" which actively gets communication.
The old homepage (which does not have chat) was only able to design the flow that customers visited and bought products, just like a catalog and vending machine. If you set up a chat there, you will be able to communicate directly with visiting customers. In other words, it turns into a store where you can wait on customers.
Chat with visited customers is the customer service itself, and it will help you capture needs and make use of it for your own service. Also, you will be able to have contacts with prospects, so you can increase conversions than when unattended.
As long as it is not a service that can be sold at a vending machine, if you want to take full advantage of the effect of chat, it is best for manned operators to talk with customers.
Then, we offten hear anxities like
"We do not have skills to introduce chat"
"The burden may be further increased if we introduce chat with e-mail and telephone."
Certainly, if you have not chatted yet, I can understand the feelings of becoming uneasy.
However, even in such a case, we recommend you to try first.
Chat is a new communication tool, but it is not difficult.?Like telephone and e-mail, anyone can do chat response, once you get used to it. With chat you can quickly respond with short sentences. Therefore, the cost for inquiries compared with telephone and e-mail is halved. So customers who are properly operating will try to reduce operation with telephone and e-mail and use chat as possible.
How many operators are necessary? There is no problem for even one person. It is the same as telephone.
What is important when introducing chat is the initial response time.
In order to respond to chat immediately, in addition to automatically answering with a chat bot, it is effective to take advantage of the following functions.
・Perceive chat reception with notification application.
・Respond quickly with fixed sentence form
・Windows application
・Mac application
・iPhone application
・Android application
・Chrome notification(I recommend it because it stand out most )
If you introduce an application, you can be notified immediately when you receive chat.
You can set it by clicking "notification setting" that appears when you click on the name column in the upper right of the administration screen.（※ref ⇒Notification application? Browser notification）
It is the first response time that is directly connected to the degree of satisfaction of the chat. The point is that the speed of "first time" is important.
In other words, if you can register a common answer and increase the response speed, customers satisfaction will naturally increase.
For reference, "common answer example" is as follows.
"Thank you for your inquiry."
"Thank you as always."
（※ref ⇒register fixed form knowledge base）
In addition, support costs can be reduced by using chat bots in conjunction with manned operators. Various ingenuity is possible such as arranging frequently asked questions in advance and automatically answering questions that can be processed mechanically before connecting to the operator.
Defensive chat
One of the main objectives of introducing chat support is to reduce support costs.Queries tend to be difficult to manage if they exceed a certain number of cases, but we can not cut corner the support work. Chat makes support cost lower than e-mail and tel as well as increases customers satisfaction, so the transition to chat support is proceeding. Many in-house helpdesk and B to C customer service desk want to reduce cost by chat and unattended automation utilizing chat bot.
However, even if AI is introduced, it is not easy to automatically answer all questions and solve problems. Conversation AI is still in the process of development, and many of the products currently in practical use are like systems that extend and search FAQs. Also, to make it learn, it costs a lot of labor cost, so you can not fulfill the original purpose of reducing cost. Especially using free word AI for important clients is a risk factor. Then we recommend following method.
- Selective type fully unattended response
- When the chat bot can not resolve problems, switch to manned response or offline form
