The good old days of closing shops at 5 PM are long gone…
Because our present world makes connecting to anyone across the globe possible with just a few taps on your mobile phone. There is now an increased need for customer support to be available round the clock. Having a 24-hour customer support team is now one of the “amenities” a consumer looks for in a product or service.
New-age consumers are online all the time, shopping for clothes, gadgets, or even ordering food—making it essential for customer assistance to be available on demand. Having this service will not only give your customers assurance and satisfaction but also makes you stand out from the competition.
With the digital age revolutionizing the concept of how we do business and allowing instant access to everything, it comes with a certain degree of unease.
“Is my credit card information secure on this site? My page crashed after clicking the purchase button. Did my purchase go through?”
“I made a mistake when I entered my delivery address. How do I go back so I can correct it?”
These are just some of the questions that consumers ask when doing online transactions. It is important to have customer support at this stage to enhance their experience and provide a smooth checkout process all the way.
While businesses do have the option to (1) provide an avenue for the customer to leave a message through voicemail and give a callback when business resumes in the morning and (2) attend to the call, no matter what time of the day it is, this does not assure a favorable experience for the customer and a timely response from you.
The benefits of having an after-hours support team far outweighs the two options presented.
100% assurance that all calls are answered
In our modern age where everything is “instant,” it is essential to be able to provide round-the-clock service, especially on weekends, to ensure no call opportunity is missed. The more you can engage your clients, the more your opportunity for revenue.
Establishes Solid Credibility
When your customers are assured that you are there for them at all times, it makes them feel valued and essential. Their faith in you improves, and the praises you get will build you a solid reputation with your customer base.
Allows Worldwide Service
Having after-hours support enables you to reach across the globe. With access to everything at your fingertips, your customers on the other side of the globe needing assistance outside your regular working hours are assured that they can connect with you wherever they are, at any time, at their convenience.
Guarantees Enhanced Customer Experience
Although our digital age brings convenience and efficiency, it still cannot fill the void that only human interaction can bring. When customers are able to interact with an actual, live representative, they are assured that they are fully understood, which further enhances their experience.
