They also understand the challenges involved in achieving this \u2014 most of which stem from fast-evolving consumer behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help alleviate many of these problems, companies are increasingly turning to live chat widgets. The reason? They\u2019re fast, convenient, and cost-effective. Most importantly, customers are demanding them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your business can benefit from this technology too. Find out how this essential website feature is transforming client-customer relationships and driving business growth below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chatsupport-liveblog\/1\/2022\/07\/Smling-virtual-receptionist-on-call-on-headset.jpg\" alt=\"Smiling virtual receptionist on call on headset\" class=\"wp-image-647\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chatsupport-liveblog\/1\/2022\/07\/Smling-virtual-receptionist-on-call-on-headset.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chatsupport-liveblog\/1\/2022\/07\/Smling-virtual-receptionist-on-call-on-headset-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chatsupport-liveblog\/1\/2022\/07\/Smling-virtual-receptionist-on-call-on-headset-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3 ways chat apps improve customer relationships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Build trust<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/techjury.net\/blog\/live-chat-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">75% of people<\/a> prefer live chat to other communication channels. When customers speak in numbers like these, it\u2019s important to listen. If you can then follow it up by implementing the appropriate measures thereafter, your business will be perceived as attentive, available, and responsive. It\u2019s a great way to establish trust, which delivers many useful benefits, including engagement, loyalty and advocacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Live chat also makes it easier to provide 24\/7 support for your customers. It means customers can contact you at any time of day, from anywhere in the world, and receive immediate assistance. No excessive call charges amplified by lengthy wait times! That convenience further strengthens customer trust in your brand and helps to boost conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chatsupport-liveblog\/1\/2022\/07\/Man-sat-setting-up-computer-in-office.jpg\" alt=\"Website visitor talking to agent via live chat widget\" class=\"wp-image-648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chatsupport-liveblog\/1\/2022\/07\/Man-sat-setting-up-computer-in-office.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chatsupport-liveblog\/1\/2022\/07\/Man-sat-setting-up-computer-in-office-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chatsupport-liveblog\/1\/2022\/07\/Man-sat-setting-up-computer-in-office-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Boost first-contact resolution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First contact resolution refers to the ability of your first point of contact to resolve any customer issues directly, without passing them on to another team member. It\u2019s common knowledge that many customers pick up the phone and dial in for simple queries that don\u2019t necessarily require telephone support. This is where live chat software really shines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to boosting first contact resolution, live chat also:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Frees up more time for your telephone support team to deal with more complex issues.<\/li><li>Increases the productivity of your customer service team while reducing staffing costs.<\/li><li>Improves your speed of service, which boosts overall customer satisfaction.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And it\u2019s also important to remember that increasing first-contact resolution requires excellent staff training. It ensures your first responders can quickly and effectively deal with a variety of issues. This in itself makes for much improved client-customer relationships that ultimately lead to a healthier bottom line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chatsupport-liveblog\/1\/2022\/07\/Professional-female-making-notes-on-marketing-campaign-at-laptop-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Professional female making notes on laptop\" class=\"wp-image-649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chatsupport-liveblog\/1\/2022\/07\/Professional-female-making-notes-on-marketing-campaign-at-laptop-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chatsupport-liveblog\/1\/2022\/07\/Professional-female-making-notes-on-marketing-campaign-at-laptop-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chatsupport-liveblog\/1\/2022\/07\/Professional-female-making-notes-on-marketing-campaign-at-laptop-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chatsupport-liveblog\/1\/2022\/07\/Professional-female-making-notes-on-marketing-campaign-at-laptop.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Provide a better digital experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a world where consumers increasingly expect on-demand services, implementing chat support on your website is a great way to address this need. It gives customers the chance to instantly get in touch without even leaving your website. In fact, research has shown that customers who chat before making a purchase have a<a href=\"https:\/\/websitebuilder.org\/blog\/live-chat-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> 40% higher conversion rate<\/a>. If that doesn\u2019t prove the correlation between an improved website experience and sales growth, nothing will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To further enhance the digital experience, you can strategically add live chat software to uncommon web pages that aren\u2019t your home page or product pages. Incorporating it onto 404 pages or deleted pages, for example, is a good tactic to reduce the number of people bouncing from your website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, you can use proactive messaging via live chat to offer assistance before the visitor leaves. That helps you capture more leads for your funnel, where the sales and marketing team can then step in and build relationships accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"565\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chatsupport-liveblog\/1\/2022\/07\/Man-sat-at-desktop-computer-working.jpg\" alt=\"Man sat at desktop computer typing on live chat widget\" class=\"wp-image-650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chatsupport-liveblog\/1\/2022\/07\/Man-sat-at-desktop-computer-working.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chatsupport-liveblog\/1\/2022\/07\/Man-sat-at-desktop-computer-working-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chatsupport-liveblog\/1\/2022\/07\/Man-sat-at-desktop-computer-working-768x434.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drive customer engagement with ChatSupport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>And there you have it; three practical ways to transform your client-customer relationships with a live chat widget. By adding this feature to your website, you can build more trust with your customers, boost first-contact resolutions, and deliver improved digital experiences.
