Chat is fast becoming a channel of choice for customer service and is the perfect complement to our CyCX Connect Omnichannel Contact Centre solution.
Customers increasingly start their relationship with your business online and it's a simple next step to just click and chat with a member of your team. Your customers will appreciate the more direct and personal service that web chat provides – its not social media and therefore your interaction with your customer is only with them not visible as part of an open forum or discussion.
Live Chat Numbers
- Live chat has become the leading digital contact method for online customers, as a staggering 42% of customers prefer live chat compared to just 23% for email, and 16% for social media or forums.
- A study by FurstPerson found that as many as 77% of customers won’t make a purchase on a website if there’s no live chat option available.
- 79% of customers say they prefer live chat purely because of the immediacy it offers compared to other channels.
- A report by ICMI found that website visitors that engage with your company via live chat are worth 4.5 times more than visitors that don’t.
