Skype Call Center
Friday, July 24th, 2009Looks like a new website for a Skype Call Center solution is up and running. They’re got some pretty cool software that lets you connect inbound-calling customers to the proper employee, regardless of where that employee is and what devise they’re using (as long as they’re logged into the system, of course–this Skype call center won’t be tracking anyone down in the middle of the night). And since it starts at $49.95 without the need for hardware or installed software (it’s all virtual / web-based), it’s worth a look if your business want to improve its customer care and make sure the right employees are speaking with customers. Also, if you want to build online chat or click-to-call capability into your website, this Skype Call Center can handle that, as well. More Skype Call Center Information…

Live Chat Webinar
Saturday, June 27th, 2009Have you been thinking about using live chat for your business? Live chat software allows you to add live chat directly to your website, or dynamically offer chat (or callbacks) based on customers navigation behavior or actions on your website. Implementing live chat on to your corporate website can increase customer responsiveness and website conversion rates for your business. It can also increase the efficiency of your staff (as they can handle multiple chats at one time, but only one phone call), improve responsiveness to your company’s customers, increase customer loyalty (as your employees are responding in a quicker and more efficent manner), increase your online conversions (which obviously helps sales), and decrease your sales cycle (as buyers are already going through the different buying stages on your site, being helped along with chat representatives).
On Thursday, July 7th at 3 p.m. Eastern, virtual call center company OnState will be offering a free webinar on the topic of live chat. The following areas will be covered:
- An Introduction to Live Web Chat
- Benefits of Live Web Chat
- How To Use Live Web Chat
- Integrating Live Web Chat On Your Website
- Live Web Chat Q&A
