- Considering a customer’s history of requests to improve phone support. Customer service agents can get all the information they need about a customer right when they call.
- How presales can be an opportunity for customer support.
Highlights:
- “On the support metrics side, some keys are first response time. This is how fast a brand is able to respond to a ticket that comes in. It could be just as simple as: “Hey, we’ve received your inquiry. Just to let you know, we’re going to have an agent answer this as fast as possible.”
- “Even more important is resolution time, or how long it actually takes to solve the ticket. We have tons of data that shows there’s a massive correlation between brands who have really low first response time and resolution times and their lifetime value and churn rate.”
- “We have data that shows that when you respond to a presale chat via SMS or live chat in under 10 minut, conversion rates go from 2-7%, which is industry standard, až do 28-30%. This is born from the fact that when people actually message your brand before they make a purchase, they’re not messaging you for laughs and giggles. 75% of the time they’re looking to make a purchase. If they message you, you have to respond faster. They’re gone after more than 10 minutes.”
- “People think support is only for post-purchase problems like negative experiences. But at Gorgias, we’re trying to change the narrative. There’s a huge opportunity for presales in customer support.”
