Whether you operate an online sales store, or you have many visitor enquiries, prospective or new customers, they all wish to engage quickly and promptly. If you aren't answering a chat request within 15 seconds, you run the real risk of the client clicking away and going to your competitor.
In this age of younger consumers entering the marketplace, expectations have shifted dramatically in terms of time to respond. Instagram and other social media platforms have set the new benchmark for the NOW & INSTANT gratification.
In fact, shoppers no longer respect "office hours" or the 8 - 5pm.
As such many of our chat agents even use mobile app versions to answer queries after hours! A polite acknowledgment of the client is often the time that you need to "buy" as the prospect feels heard. Nobody likes leaving messages or emails as more often than not, they end up into a black hole.
The advantage of outsourcing this function is that even smaller organisations can benefit from this managed service, even if many times it's a glorified messaging service :-).
