Everyone needs to be trained for a reasonable amount of time before he can be taken as an expert in that field. The operators must be trained to explore their inner creativities, so that they can groom themselves and explore customer services in a wider range.

Goal Setting:
It is the duty of the manager to set achievable goals for the operators who handle live customer service chat. The tasks and the goals must be in accordance with each other. Also, the goal must be according to the ability of the operator. Pushing anyone to out of his limits is not fun; this can be hectic ad tiring for the operator. It will have direct impact on his services, he will not be able to perform well and the company will suffer some major losses because of it.

Take Charge:
The team managers and leader have to take charge of the team. If your department does not have one, it is time that you appoint one of the best employees to take the position. That single person’s job will be to encourage, motivate and push his team to work harder and perform even better. A good team leader has the ability to make things happen in a matter of seconds, he can give them an objective that can be achieved.

Note:  On the whole, it is the company that has to make decisions and is held responsible for its employees’ efficiency. It has to to provide them with the right tools that will enable them to support the clients. Just adding live chat to a website is not enough; a company will have to provide the right means and opportunities to maintain a level of performance that is required by the company and by the clients.

Add Live Chat to Your Website to Keep Your Visitors on Track





Running an online business, your website is the place where your customers come to make an online purchase. To get information about the products to be purchased, your potential customers go through the images and contents provided on your website. Your website does not necessarily satisfy the needs of all the customers. During their journey on your website, customers feel the need of talking to someone real with whom they could share their queries and concerns.  Finding no one to listen to them and resolve their queries, customers might switch to your competitors who provide better options. To keep your visitor on track and to urge him to continue his journey on your site, you need to add live chat to your website.

Specialty Cakes: An Online Booming Trend

Ten years ago if you had told me I could order my dog a cake for his birthday online and have it customized to have an edible picture placed upon it, I probably would have thought you had gone crazy. I mean, which baker would be sane enough to offer dog food cakes in his menu. And that too having an actual picture on it!

In 2006 we received our answer! Kristi Andrews combined her passion for baking and adoration of dogs and resulted in The Barkery; an all- natural gourmet bakery and spa for dogs! As time progressed, Kristi found that her online shopping clients were increasing and demand for cakes was on the rise. She decided to amp her online shopping portal and turn to social media, Facebook, to market her products. Her online booming success is all due to flawless customer care and service.

Social media is playing a major role in the expansion of all the upcoming bakeries also being referred to as cakeries:  Facebook and Twitter being the main modes of marketing and customer feedback.  Clients are now given a medium to share their experiences; both good and bad. The negative feedback allows the bakeries to reflect on their doings and bridge the gaps between them and their unsatisfied customers.

Dexter P from San Diego, CA states: “Glendale, CA may be the best place to go since they were nicer.  Don't get me wrong, I love Portos.  The only problem I had was rude customer service at Downey CA.

After a long drive from San Diego, we were looking forward to stop by at Downey Portos to have our Hawaii friend try it out. We were in line, and we stepped forward as we were next to order.  The girl who helped us named Gabriela, didn't gaze to have an eye contact with us as we were right in front of her, yet asked the lady behind us for her order.  Well, we had no choice but to put an end to her rude behavior. This girl argued the whole time saying there's a sign there and she just refuse to budge and argue her way out of it. There were  no apologies.

Needless to say, as great as the food, I don't know if customer service is something they need training on.  Heck, McDonalds provides better service. No matter how great the food is, customer service always becomes the memorable experience. “

Portos Bakery and Café responded with: “ Mr. Dexter we are extremely sorry for the problem you faced at our café. We apologize any inconvenience our staff might have caused and to make up for the poor way you were dealt with we would like to offer you a free meal on the house. You are welcome to claim your free meal at any time. We look forward to seeing you.”

Some bakeries have decided to take their online customer care to a whole new level. Collin Street Bakery in Texas, USA, offers his customers a great deal of customer care services. From having a UAN number to a separate line for PR and Corporate Sales, the bakery has started to offer live chat services to their clients. This allows Collin’s clientele to inquire about bookings and prices from all over the world and be able to discuss the details of their cakes with the bakery all in real time.

In conclusion, bakeries offering online services are flourishing with the help of good customer service. Needless to say, having live chat incorporated into the mix is not only proving to enhance the business performance but also customer satisfaction.  Online bakeries should make owning a live chat tool on their websites essential in order to maximize the number of satisfied clients and a booming online bakery shop.

Open a Client Conversation with Live Website Support

How do you treat a potential client that has accessed your website? E-retailers are often under the
impression that the prospect is interested in their product offering. Little do they know, a website visitor is assessing the website to determine whether it can fulfill their needs or not. Although, flash-sales and animated layouts are impressive, they are not compelling enough to convince anyone to become a long-term customer. Susan Scott, author of the best-sellers Fierce Conversations and Fierce Leadership, believes it is essential to build a customer relationship before you move into the selling mode.

Don’t Go for the Hard Sell
Most of the time, e-retailers follow up on potential clients by asking product-specific questions or by pitching their products, Instead of communicating useful details about your product. Have a meaningful conversation with the prospective customer. You can use live customer service chat to communicate with visitors on your website. Easily installed, it helps e-business owners identify the real issue behind their purchase intent.

Comfort Comes First
Offered by WebGreeter, live customer service chat connects website visitors with a company chat representative. A greeting text-based message is sent to every person that enters your website. By welcoming everyone, you send a clear message that you want visitors to comfortable on your website. Other than establishing rapport, you make it clear real-time assistance is available. The instant message will appear on a chat API window which can be customized to include your theme colors and logo.

What is on Top of your Customer’s Agenda?
Customer service representatives use a built-in web analytic feature to understand the motive behind coming to your website. The referral URL source, keyword searches, and webpage duration indicate what a prospect is interested in. For the sake of clarification, operators send a proactive chat invitation. Live website support enables both to have a meaningful conversation in real-time. Operators ask open-ended questions to learn what problem or how many problems a customer is trying to solve. Their intent isn’t to meet sales goals; rather, it is to learn what is on the customers’ minds.

Offer Appropriate Products 
Does this approach seem counterintuitive to everything you’ve learned in business school? The best-selling author explains opening a client conversation is the best way to build a long-term relationship. Operators postpone a possible sale because they want to learn as much as possible about the problem. By not pushing them to buy something, live website support will prevent you from wasting time on a prospect that isn’t interested in a specific solution set. Operators can then help them discover products that can resolve their problems.
