Great Customer Service Is About Making It Easy for Customers
What is good customer service? And how do we create the best conditions to deliver it? These are the questions we asked ourselves when we began working on Herodesk. We want to offer a solution that provides small and medium-sized businesses with a tool that establishes the foundation for good customer service. After that, the rest is up to you, but Herodesk gives you the tools to deliver a much better customer experience that your customers will love you for. Good customer service is about making it easy for the customer. In a world where customer expectations are high and time is a valuable resource, it’s crucial to have the right tools to deliver a seamless and efficient customer service experience. Herodesk is a helpdesk tool with built-in features, including live chat, designed to make it easier for you to communicate with customers—and just as importantly, to make it easier for customers to do business with you. Herodesk’s live chat feature is tailored for webshops. It allows your customers to get instant help and answers to their questions while they shop. This feature is a game-changer because it significantly shortens the distance between you and your customers. Instead of waiting for an email or phone call, your customers can get help immediately. This can be crucial in ensuring they complete their purchase and provide a more satisfying shopping experience. Imagine you are looking for a new bike tyre and browsing different webshops. You’re not entirely sure which one to choose, and at that moment, you’d like to ask someone with expertise in bicycles for help. A live chat feature would greatly influence which webshop you choose and whether or not you place an order. If you can contact the webshop and ask if the tyre fits your bike, the likelihood of purchasing increases. You choose the webshop with the live chat because they are available and offer help precisely when you need it most. This is an example you can relate to. It shows how easy it can be to be a customer on a webshop when the tools for good customer service are in place. The same example could easily apply to your webshop. Live chat is an excellent tool for delivering a much better user experience. You might only spend a moment responding, but in the end, it significantly impacts both you and the customer. Built-in Features Save You Time and Improve the User Experience As business owners, one of our primary goals is to use our time as efficiently as possible. There are many tasks associated with running a webshop, so we want tools that help us work smarter and more effectively. One of the tasks that takes the most time is customer service, which is why Herodesk offers many features that help you systematize and structure the numerous customer inquiries you receive in your inbox. With built-in tools to categorise and prioritise inquiries, your team can quickly identify the most urgent issues. This allows you to deliver targeted service, enhancing the customer experience and making it easy for customers to do business with you. One significant advantage of Herodesk is that all communication across channels is consolidated into one platform. Your team can manage emails, social media, and other communication channels from one central location. No one has to lie awake at night worrying that a customer inquiry was forgotten or overlooked during the week. Herodesk is not just a helpdesk tool but an integrated solution that elevates your customer service to a new level. By connecting Herodesk directly to your webshop, your team gains immediate access to customers’ order status and history, enabling faster and more efficient communication. This direct connection means you don’t have to search through multiple systems because your customer information and order history are all in one place. This makes it easier—and faster—for you to get back to your customers and answer their inquiries. However, Herodesk is also designed with user-friendliness in mind. The platform is intuitive and easy to navigate, so your team can quickly learn the system and deliver excellent customer service without a steep learning curve. This means you can focus on helping your customers and optimising your service rather than spending time on complex training. With Herodesk, you get an
