Managed live chat is becoming increasingly popular in call centres and other customer service areas and is widely used because of it\u2019s high convenience for customers.<\/p>
However, it\u2019s also true that there are issues and problems that can occur when trying to implement messaging and as such, many companies are still hesitant to introduce it.<\/p>
In this article, we\u2019ll explain the features of manned live chat and what the advantages are in introducing it, how to avoid common mistakes when implementing it and how to ensure that operations run smoothly. At the end of the article, six frequently asked questions that are useful for manned chat operations are also included for reference.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Managed live chat or \u2018manned chat\u2019 is a service where a human representative responds to enquiries via chat.<\/p> As it is mainly text-based, it offers the convenience of allowing customers to make enquiries from a variety of locations, such as on the train. It is a customer service channel whose use has been increasing in recent years.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t You may be thinking, “Should I implement managed live chat or a chatbot?” The short answer is that both solutions can be useful when used together or separately.<\/p> However, in some cases, it may be best to implement either one or the other.
