Is videoconferencing your customer service solution?

The evolution of the help desk for companies has brought with it a variety of ways for clients to correspond using the company website as a communication platform. With e-mail already being a standard replacement for printed memos and letters, there is a growing demand for websites to offer even faster communications with a personable presence, and a direct convenience with instantaneous results. The solution? Live Help (by enlighten technologies incorporated™) - The Future of Customer Service for Companies

Live Help (by enlighten™) is similar to the online help desk service being utilized on many commercial websites, including Target, Best Buy, and Wal-Mart. An online help desk has proven to be a very effective tool in communicating with clients and improving customer satisfaction. A recent article on ClickZ, entitled "Customer Service Is Even More Important Now," states "Customers want convenience. This means letting them contact you through whatever channels they want. This might mean the telephone, but other channels may be more preferable, such as live chat or e-mail. Investing in 24/7 live chat...if analytics bear out, is a must." (See article.) With more and more people accessing the Internet to conduct research and communicate with one another, staying current with your avenues of online customer service not only makes sense, it’s a necessity.
