Frequently asked questions
What is chat support?

What are the basic rules of chat support?
There are a few rules that you should keep in mind as the basic chat rules. The first is to maintain correct grammar and spelling. Errors make the customer service team less competent in the eyes of the customer. Another rule is the fastest possible response, so it's important that agents write quickly when they have a conversation. Another important rule is not to use acronyms and abbreviations. The use of such forms is not professional. It is similar with writing short "yes" and "no" answers. Always try to use complete sentences. Ready-made answers support the work of the customer service team, but don't send them out thoughtlessly. Agents should always personalize the response. It's nice when we address the client by name. The customer then feels that the service team is addressing him and is not one of many.
