Shopping experience nowadays has gone up a whole new level. Thanks to the technology called the internet, we can now master the art of retail therapy in the comforts of our home with just a few clicks of our fingers.
The first secure retail transaction ever made was in 1994 by the Internet Shopping Network. Amazon and eBay, then followed suit in 1995 launching their online shopping site. And ever since, our shopping experience has never been the same.
With the ease and convenience online shopping brings, the number of consumers taking advantage of this online platform is increasing. As consumers get used to this facility, they now expect and demand more from the merchants.
Consumers now demand prompt service and answers to their queries immediately. They expect customer service to be reliable and to be there for them whenever they need assistance with purchases and to deliver excellent customer support.
Successful companies have, ever since, learned to appreciate the value of website usage training. With the entire universe now connected through technology, organisations understand the relevance of providing technical support to both their consumers and staff.
For the employees, undergoing training for website usage equips and keeps them updated with your latest product or website enhancements. And this means, for your consumers, that a support team is always on standby to walk them through navigating your website or assisting them with their password resets.
Not only is it favourable for businesses who run an online shopping website to provide tech support, but it also brings with it benefits. Having an appealing and user-friendly website is never enough to guarantee you a significant boost in sales.
That is because there will always be a consumer who is not adept at website navigation, and another who requires shopping cart assistance - the consumer who feels assured and secure when an actual living person is completing their purchase by putting in their credit card details in their behalf.
Technical support is perhaps, the number one business task that is outsourced because it is a highly specialised field not to mention, expensive. Business organisations, looking to save on costs, have turned to outsourcing their technical support needs.
Choosing to outsource allows us to reap the following benefits:
When your customers can expect round-the-clock assistance, they are assured that they can rely on you to be there when they need help. It lets them know that you care.
Going through your first online shopping experience can be overwhelming, especially if you are not tech-savvy. Having someone to guide and talk you through the entire experience, from setting up your account, browsing through the products and having your questions answered, all the way through check out, can make all the difference and turn an unpleasant experience into a great one.
With all the information shared by your consumer on your website, their demographics, income, lifestyle, and preferences, you are equipped with all the information you need to improve your products and services.
With cybercrime and identity theft an ever-growing concern, consumers are now wary and extra careful when it comes to sharing their credit card details online. Having customer support on standby helps convert the shopping into a sale.
