How To Use WhatsApp Customer Support To Beat Your Competitors

WhatsApp Customer Support

Once upon a recent time, it took years for new communication tools to become customer support channels. I remember that during the 90’s we had long discussions within our claims department before deciding to respond to customers via email! Today everything happens much faster, especially changes in behavior and habits. In 2020 most people use digital channels on a daily basis. Thus they expect brands to do the same providing excellent support. Consequently, messaging apps for Digital Customers Service such as WhatsApp have dramatically surged.

So, how organizations can take advantage of it?

Do Invest, But Wisely 

Smart organizations offer consistent digital customer experiences because they invested in these both two main pillars:

1. [Technology → tools] getting equipped with a digital omnichannel platform that suits your specific needs in order to track, manage all conversations with your customers regarding the incoming channels (e.g. phone, email, WhatsApp).

TIP: even though you’re currently providing support only via phone and email you need a omnichannel platform to get prepared to integrate new digital channels as well as setting up ad-hoc KPIs in a scalable way.
