They\u2019re the first team customers turn to when they have a question that will directly affect their decision to purchase, or when they experience a problem with an order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How customer care responds, and how quickly they do so, will have long-term consequences on your customer relationships and their lifetime value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some companies see customer care as a cost center; a necessary price to pay for operating a business. This is an unfortunate point of view because customer care is anything but. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the first point of contact for your prospects and customers they wield enormous influence over your revenue. If they\u2019re friendly and helpful they\u2019ll build and sustain your customer base. They\u2019ll convert prospects into first-time buyers, and build loyalty over the long haul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But a deep product knowledge and a sunny disposition aren\u2019t enough to make a customer care rep succeed. With thousands of prospects visiting your ecommerce site, social media pages and affiliate networks daily, you need to empower the customer care team with the tools and workflows that will allow them to step up to the task. Yes, it will require investment on your part, but they&#8217;ll pay dividends long into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some tips to help your customer care team become rock stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recognize-customer-care-as-the-revenue-generator-it-truly-is\"><strong>R<\/strong><strong>ecognize Customer Care as the Revenue Generator it Truly Is<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of your customer care reps as your \u201cjust-in-time heroes\u201d who swoop in to rescue sales when prospects are at their wits\u2019 end. You lose sales when a customer doesn\u2019t know if a product comes in pink or will be delivered in time for someone\u2019s birthday. These sales heroes are the secret sauce behind numerous conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this surprises you, take the time to quantify the benefit your customer care team delivers to your bottom line. You can do that by tracking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Chat-to-sales conversion rates<\/li><li>Number of sales generated by an agent through various interactions<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/insights\/increase-average-order-value\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Average order value<\/a> generated by an agent<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, research has shown that 79% of consumers will take their business to a competitor within a week due to poor customer service \u2014 and this competitor is too often Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you see how critical customer care is to your revenue, consider offering incentives in the form of performance-based bonuses to their compensation packages of your agents. But take care not to overdo it. Customer care succeeds when the customer feels the team member is on their side.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-194-1024x768.png\" alt=\"customer care chat bot\" class=\"wp-image-96889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-194-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-194-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-194-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-194-610x458.png 610w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-194.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Checkout: It\u2019s Where You Need to Be<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/insights\/optimize-checkout-process\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Checkout<\/a> is a make-or-break moment for conversions. Are there hidden costs I don\u2019t know about? Do I need to pay extra to receive the package on time? Can I change the delivery address if I need to after the package has shipped? These are the types of questions that give shoppers pause, and stifle conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your customer care team can win the sale (and nervous shopper\u2019s long-term loyalty) by coming to their aid. For instance, present the opportunity to chat live with a customer care rep to people who sit on the checkout page for a set period of time. Inaction is a sure sign a shopper has questions, so offer the assistance they want and need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow-up with automated messages that explain delivery time, and your return and exchange policies for added assurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Respond to Inquiries at Lightning Speed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Responsiveness has always been a key criteria to customers, but it\u2019s even more so as of late. According to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accenture.com\/us-en\/insights\/strategy\/reimagined-consumer-expectations?c=acn_glb_lifereimaginedgoogle_12246418&amp;n=psgs_0621&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwg7KJBhDyARIsAHrAXaGt3M9b5d0vaw_rWuca427JotXlv2jiGQOJ6AHlCN7NvHo3KpgaIRMaAmf0EALw_wcB&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Accenture survey<\/a> of more than 25,000 consumers across 22 countries, the pandemic has changed the consumer in fundamental ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>50% say companies \u201cdisappointed them by not providing enough support and understanding of their needs during challenging times.\u201d That&#8217;s up from 14% in the days before the pandemic hit. 75% say they expect companies to address their changing needs during difficult times. They\u2019re also less likely to prioritize price and quality than they once were, elevating service and personal care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The way to win the loyalty of the post-pandemic consumer is to respond to messages at lightning speed. Fortunately, there are plenty of tools to help you do just that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, macros (aka pre-written texts) make quick work out of answering routine questions such as, \u201cmy product arrived damaged, how do I get a replacement?\u201d or \u201cdo these tees run in the wash?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"601\" src=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image5-20.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-96891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image5-20.png 800w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image5-20-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image5-20-768x577.png 768w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image5-20-610x458.png 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, you can automate the responses customer care team members send, but still deliver a highly personalized experience to the recipient by using a combination of pre-written answers and integrations with other data sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say a customer purchases a pair of jeans and emails a standard question (\u201cwhen will my order be shipped?\u201d) to your customer care department. With a helpdesk like <a href=\"https:\/\/gorgias.grsm.io\/thegood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gorgias<\/a>, you can leverage macros to insert their first name and order number into your standard response that explains your fulfillment process and set your helpdesk to automatically reply to her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, you can integrate virtually any data source with your helpdesk platform to personalize the experience. Just take care to ensure that all pre-written messages are in your brand voice so she knows that the message is coming from a person, and not a machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, this workflow of pre-written messages, populated with personalized data (AKA macros) is suitable for all channels, including chat, social media, email, as well as for all types of questions.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Embrace Omnichannel Support<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s consumers shop from multiple devices and channels, and naturally expect the ability to request and receive customer care from all of them, including social media, email, SMS, live chat, and phone. Don\u2019t disappoint them; if you do you may lose the sale. Worse, you\u2019ll lose the ability to earn their long-term loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a customer asks about your returns policy on Instagram, answer in that channel. Ditto for direct messages on Facebook, SMS, email and so on. Which leads us to the next tip.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-195-1024x768.png\" alt=\"view of helpdesk tickets\" class=\"wp-image-96890\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-195-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-195-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-195-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-195-610x458.png 610w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-195.png 1448w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>See Your Customers For Who They Are: Multifaceted Shoppers with a Question They Want Answered&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A shopper can begin a conversation on Instagram, and continue it on live chat from a brand\u2019s website the following day. To make your customers feel as though you\u2019re truly listening, link all of their interactions into a central location that the customer care team can easily access.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This integration will enable you to deliver <a href=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/insights\/ecommerce-personalization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">personalized messages<\/a> across every touchpoint, including automated ones. To get a holistic view of the customer, adopt a helpdesk platform that can centralize all of a customer\u2019s interactions, regardless of how they contact you. This will allow your customer care rep to see the big picture &#8212; and spare the customer from \u201cstarting all over from the beginning\u201d with a description of their issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Get Personal (It\u2019ll Prompt More Sales)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We can\u2019t state this frequently or forcefully enough: Customer care is an underutilized driver of revenue. That\u2019s a shame, because when loyal customers have a question, their first point of contact is customer care.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deep integrations between your ecommerce store and helpdesk can help you personalize your responses based on a customers order history to drive revenue and delight customers. Let\u2019s say a particular customer favors a specific designer or line of products that you carry on your site. Alerting them that \u201cNew Arrivals Are In,\u201d is a great way to personalize the message, and prompt more sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider adopting a <a href=\"https:\/\/gorgias.grsm.io\/thegood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">helpdesk platform<\/a> that can detect the intent of a customer correspondence and automate your response. Machine learning goes a long way in assessing the intent of customer inquiries, and can cover a lot of ground, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Product questions (e.g. requests help choosing a product or finding a replacement budget hat)<\/li><li>Product or experience feedback (e.g. \u201cI love the new site redesign, but where did you put the cheese I\u2019ve been buying for the past five years?\u201d)<\/li><li>Shipping and status questions<\/li><li>Requests for refunds, or product exchanges<\/li><li>Product exchange Requests<\/li><li>Reports that an order was received damaged<\/li><li>Request to cancel an order<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And many others. When combined with macros, your team can respond to a query however it\u2019s sent (email, customer care form, SMS, social media) and in your brand\u2019s voice. Be sure to follow through by enabling the customer care rep to deliver on the promise made (e.g. issue a promised refund; send a replacement) without ever leaving the helpdesk platform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your brand can also track intent for the express purpose of creating personalized experiences. Let\u2019s say customer comments that he loves your new earbuds, you can auto filter that comment into social leads, and have your customer team reply with a code \u201cjust for you.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technology has obliterated the silos that separated sales from telesales from customer care. Brands had little say in the matter; those changes were brought on by consumers who bring their own expectations to the purchasing experience. Today\u2019s consumers want expedited answers, and if they don\u2019t get them they\u2019ll take their business elsewhere. Don\u2019t think of this as a challenge; consider it as an opportunity to demonstrate that your brand cares about your customers and their level of satisfaction with each and every interaction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"tkugp-items-wrap\"><div class=\"tkugp-bottomcontent\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":96892,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","wpcf-summary":["Your ecommerce experience can be solidified or broken based on how you handle customer care.
