Making the Decision to Improve their Customer Service
Which? Legal were the first department to request a Live Chat tool and Click4Assistance were shortlisted from the available Live Chat Software providers. Following from an arduous and extensive testing regime, Click4Assistance were selected to implement the solution within Which? Legal pages, due to the quality of the software, support and the location of stored data within the UK.
Customisation
The Which? brand is highly regarded and it was essential this was reflected within the chat window. The Click4Assistance visitor interface is 100% customisable, therefore Which? were able to create the window design and make it their own, fully representing the brand throughout the visitor experience. Their sticky chat button is placed on the Which? Legal homepage, and presents an embedded prechat form.
The team at Which? were eager to adopt Live Chat in order to further improve their accessibility and customer service. The same high standards for visitor experience and customer service have been applied, with extensive staff training.
The additional communication channel soon became a popular method of communication for visitors and operators.
The Smell of Success
Following the successful implementation on the Which? Legal pages, the organisation decided to streamline the communication channel within their fellow department Which? Wills.
The Consumer Rights team adopted Live Chat shortly after, due to the exceptional success achieved by the other departments.
