Businesses stand out for the experiences they create. Within our changing world the evolution of the user experience (UX) is as important as it has ever been. Industries and companies, of all sizes, have successfully transitioned into offering online experiences for their prospects.

An online UX is considerably more than a website. It is a digital impression of your business and often that vital first engagement. It is an opportunity to leverage technology to connect with your prospects, share your brand values, grow your business, and create a ‘wow’ factor first impression.

Customers not only want a seamless UX but also expect brands to provide them with a unique and personalised experience throughout the journey. For example, research by Epsilon found that 80% of consumers will make a purchase from a brand that offers personalised experiences. Delivering personalised customer service has become essential to staying competitive in the market. In addition, Salesforce found that adopting a personalised customer engagement strategy has helped 97% of marketers report a quantifiable boost to business outcomes.

In short, a personalised UX is key. One approach to delivering a personalised online UX is through fully managed live chat. Live chat is the most effective and fastest way to connect with prospects online, whilst they are in ‘buying mode’. Importantly, it helps website visitors find the information they need and the answers to their questions. At the same time initiating customer engagement and starting the next stage in the sales journey.

Making each one of your prospects feel connected and valued, is essential in creating a positive UX. This is particularly crucial in the care home industry. Choosing the right care home for a loved one can be an emotional experience. Providing live chat on your website can enable you to offer this personalised, positive, and connected experience.

However, it is crucial to note that customers want to talk to real people. A 2019 survey by CGS found that 86% of consumers prefer to interact with a human chat agent rather than an AI-based system such as a chatbot. 71% of participants also said that they would be less likely to use a company if they did not have human customer service representatives available.

So how exactly can fully managed chat provide a personalised UX for your customers?

Firstly, chat offers an instant and informal way to communicate.

Advisers can adjust their responses to suit their individual communication style – creating a much more personal connection with prospects. For example, using chat ensures you have an opportunity to personalise the conversation and tailor your responses. Additionally, during the conversation, you can refer to the visitor by their name and answer their questions directly.

Chat conversations are instantly documented and easily accessed.

With C4B’s fully managed chat, chat transcripts are emailed to both the visitor and your team at the end of every chat. The context is always clear, and the agent does not need to notate anything as all the information is included in the chat transcript. This will ensure the chat enquiry is correctly followed up and all sales opportunities are maximized.

Advisers can also include their name and a real profile picture.

A personal UX is not possible without disclosing any personal information. C4B will introduce you at the start of the chat and display your profile picture. Allowing you to build a much more personal connection with your prospects/website visitor. Thus, building rapport and trust with your prospect.

Data insights can help you structure your sales and marketing activity to better suit the needs of your customers.

With C4B’s chat reporting you will gain insights into which marketing campaigns are working, as well as what is not working and may require change. These insights can help you structure your sales and marketing activity to both personalise and better suit the needs of your customers. Our reporting console offers you a complete overview of all your chats, team statistics, and details of your leads. You can measure your number of daily chats, enquiry type and our response times with our advanced reporting.
