The concept of customer service has expanded in the last decade. Before, customer service used to be all about human interaction. However, with the rise of e-commerce, businesses had to adjust their customer service strategies. With tons of incoming tickets from social media and live chat, automation and chatbots were put to work.
Even though automation and chatbots are very cost-efficient and save you tons of time when it comes to answering customer queries, it’s important to preserve the human connection that customers crave, but chatbots can’t provide. How? Check out our fail-proof tips that’ll improve your customer service.

Customer service is the support and service you provide to your customers before, during, and after a purchase. As a customer support agent, it’s extremely important to be knowledgeable, willing, and understanding throughout the whole support process. Your customers need to feel valued every step of the way.
When it comes to improving customer service, it’s important to sit down and ask the hard questions. Are your customers satisfied with your product and the level of service you’re providing? Often times companies think that they’re providing great service, but their customers don’t agree. So how can you find out if your customers are happy with your business? By measuring the metrics that matter the most: CSAT, NPS, CES and FRT.
You should aim to have a CSAT score of 80% or higher, however, satisfaction scores can vary from industry to industry. Even though CSAT is a good indicator of how well your business is doing, you should also measure NPS, CES, and FRT to get a complete overview of your service. By tracking the metrics you’ll be able to identify areas of improvement and improve your customer satisfaction.
Customer satisfaction scores let you know how satisfied customers are with your products and service.

“It’s so rich in functions and beat my 5-year zendesk subscription. So I switched. Very good value for me as small business owner.” Albert
I first tried out Zendesk but after hours of configuration and understanding the price model i realized that it was not for me. Instead I started using LiveAgent and must say I’m so far very satisfied. The system got exactly the right amount of configuration that I want and I have not yet found something that is not possible to do. The support itself is great and usually answer your questions in a couple of minutes.” Erik
“We moved to LiveAgent from ZenDesk… and wouldn’t go back… It’s amazingly affordable pricing and always helpful support team who are their to help us 24×7. Secondly, the advanced level of automation which has literally replaced our need for Zapier as there’s good amount of integrations. Plus they also give so many alias emails to connect that too very easily.” Aaron
“We and our clients were constantly having trouble with ZenDesk, but after looking at different options, we chose LiveAgent based on user reviews and its price.” Adam
“I used ZenDesk for years and I was tired of these “ticket-style” emails and that I can’t attach files to my emails, only send links. What I like in LiveAgent: it sends emails (not tickets), I can attach files, organize the flow of emails easier than in ZenDesk, can chat and manage emails from the same window. Also, LiveAgent supports spreadsheets in its emails and has a great support team.” Vlad
“We switched to this system after many years of using ZenDesk. The functionality is awesome: contact forms, live chat, databases, integration with social networks – all in one service and all these modules are well thought out and competently interact with each other. I liked that the service works stably even on mobile platforms (after ZenDesk this is a huge plus for us).” Olga
