We’re big fans of iFixit here at SnapEngage. So you can imagine our excitement when they decided to add SnapEngage Live Chat to their customer support offerings. We spoke with Annette Fuller, iFixit Support Technician, to get more insight into how iFixit is leveraging live chat to complement and enhance their overall customer experience.
At iFixit, our mission is to save the world. And believe me, working here sometimes makes you feel like a superhero. We believe that everyone should have access to repair knowledge. When you buy something, you should be able to take full ownership of it. That means repairing it when it breaks, so that you don’t have to keep adding to landfills and buying new devices.
Cell phones, laptops, and tablets are our main focus, but the founders of iFixit didn’t want to stop at only the repair knowledge we could generate ourselves. That’s where our guide creation software comes in. Anyone, anywhere, can author or contribute to a repair guide on our site. We have guides for household appliances, cars, farm equipment, coffee makers, you name it.
This vast repository of knowledge at people’s fingertips doesn’t necessarily mean that all questions can be answered just by searching the guides. Sometimes, a DIYer wants to touch base with customer service to get a quick, direct answer to a question. If it’s something we have experience in, or something we’ve learned a lot about through customer stories, research, and trial and error, we help out wherever we can. If we don’t know enough about the particular device they’re working on, we direct them to people who do, like the fabulous repair experts on our Answers forum. (more…)
Immediacy, privacy and trust are just a few of the many benefits that live chat offers across a range of industries. However, when it comes to recovery and treatment centers in the behavioral health field (such as those focusing on drug and alcohol addictions), these priorities become critical requirements in the visitor experience.
Treatment centers across the world are beginning to turn to live chat software to bridge critical gaps and provide essential services to those in need, saving lives in the process. To learn more, we chatted with Sheldon Michael, CEO and Founder of Netjumps International, a drug treatment marketing industry leader.
Here’s a look at five ways in which live chat software is reshaping the way people seek and provide help in the behavioral health field. (more…)
It’s an all too common occurrence. You’re smoothly navigating through a website when all of a sudden, you land on the dreaded 404 page. As a visitor, it’s a super frustrating experience. For businesses, it can result in a lot of lost opportunity.
While there are some measures that website owners can take to prevent 404 errors, several 404 culprits are beyond a website administrator’s control, such as a visitor mistyping a URL.
One creative way to reduce 404 abandonment is by leveraging proactive chat triggers.
Rather than leave your visitors to figure out how to find the content they’re looking for, why not lend a guiding hand? Sure, you can suggest alternate links or prompt user-defined searches, but if they don’t find it after the first attempt, you’ve most likely lost them for good.
With SnapEngage, you can easily add a proactive chat trigger to your 404 page, immediately inviting visitors to start a chat for assistance.
While we strive to meet the demands of all of our users, there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to software development… BUT we still want to help see all of your out-of-the-box ideas to fruition, which is why we offer a flexible live chat API to adapt to your own use cases. And even better… you can now generate your custom API key quickly and easily within your SnapEngage Admin Dashboard. (NOTE: The API Key Generator tool currently only allows access to the Visitor Chat API with more API functionality coming soon.)
This case study tells the story of how one SnapEngage client was able to dramatically increase their customer satisfaction and efficiency alongside exponential growth in support channel volume, all without increasing their team’s headcount at the same rate.
Hootsuite, the most widely used social media management platform, was founded in 2008 and since then has amassed over 13 million customers in over 175 countries, 2500+ of which are Enterprise customers which comprise 800+ of the Fortune 1000.
