eCommerce and the Extreme Importance of Omnichannel Communication and Telecom Platforms for the Provision of Superb Customer Service Solutions

“For the past 5-to-10 years, eCommerce has been effectively replacing the traditional manner in which startups, small, medium, and large businesses and corporations sell their products and / or services; since consumers have been shifting from making their purchases in physical stores to making their purchases remotely from the comfort of their own homes, there has been an increasing need for customer service and technical support professionals to provide customer service options through multiple communication and Telecom channels such as phone calls, SMS messaging, e-mail, live chat, websites, and social media. By utilizing omnichannel communication platforms for their customer care and tech support goals, businesses / corporations can maximize on their customer retention and brand loyalty potential which in-turn guarantees a competitive advantage and sales success in the global market.”

Along with Callnovo’s excellent operation and information technology teams (IT), Vince is dedicated to utilizing his seasoned experience in such a way as to ensure that all of Callnovo’s e-Commerce clients have a reputable call center customer care team to trust in when it comes to resolving their various customer service support needs; likewise, Vince also dedicates his time to externally reaching prospective eCommerce clients with Callnovo’s services while Callnovo’s operation team hires, trains, monitors, and manages competent customer service representatives (CSRs) who are prepared to effectively and efficiently provide key solutions to each client’s business and consumer base and while the IT team manages the CRM platform which has been a vitally important tool for keeping contact center operations fully functional so that CSRs can quickly and professionally provide superb solutions to businesses and consumers through the various channels that they utilize (phone calls, SMS messaging, e-mail, live chat, websites, and / or social media).

As we have seen over the past 5-to-10 years, e-Commerce (i.e. Amazon Sellers, Shopify Sellers, eBay Sellers, Lazada Sellers, Shopee Sellers, Online Stores, etcetera) has been effectively changing the way in which startups, small, medium, and large businesses and corporations sell their products / services; since the boom of the technological age, it has been becoming easier every year for consumers to make their purchases remotely from the comfort of their own homes. Over the past year alone, more than 24 million commercial stores have been selling their products online worldwide; in the United States itself, 95% of all Americans have made at least one purchase from an e-Commerce store — while a significant 58.3% of global Internet users have shopped online successfully. In addition to this, out of all mobile traffic, 70% all visits contribute to e-Commerce sales — as well as 55% of all revenue that is incurred by browsing online.

As it is becoming clear that eCommerce is increasingly becoming a standard means by which consumers purchase their product / services, businesses / corporations cannot negate the fact that there is a need to provide superb customer care and tech support solutions that urgently meet consumers where they’re at so that consumers can find satisfaction in their sales experiences which in turn leads to an increase in brand recognition and also in customer loyalty; customer care is a vitally important aspect of every sales experience because customer service and tech support representatives are considered to be the face of every startup, small, medium, and large business and corporation. When we speak of customer service representatives being the “face” of every business and corporation, what we mean is that — from the beginning of the provider-consumer relationship to the last interaction that consumers have with any business or corporation — customer care agents are always interacting with business’ / corporations’ consumers; from pre-sales to post-sales, customer service professionals have the opportunity — and also the grand responsibility — to add high value to each consumer’s sales experience — which increases the chance that those consumers will remain loyal to the businesses / corporations that they purchase products / services from and also possibly influences them to tell others by word-of-mouth to purchase from the same businesses / corporations. Whenever consumers enjoy an excellent customer care experience, they naturally add a lot of value to the products / services that they have purchased which allows them to more easily justify the prices that they paid for such products / services.

Since customer service is an extremely important aspect of every business’ and corporation’s sales — and, since consumers are generally utilizing the worldwide web (WWW) to make their purchases — it is imperative that businesses and corporations utilize multiple-channeled communication and Telecom platforms such as phone calls, SMS messaging, e-mail, live chat, websites, and social media to reach consumers where they’re at so that they can provide a quick and thorough customer care experience. Cross-channel communication and Telecom platforms offer many benefits (non-extensive):

• A dynamic audience of consumers can be reached rather quickly as opposed to sporadic consumers that are only reached on occasion.
  By taking advantage of every available communication and Telecom channel, startups, small, medium, and large businesses / corporations can maximize on their consumer-reach potential because they will have access to the dynamic range of consumers that are available on the WWW and that are already using every communication and Telecom channel; furthermore, as consumers prefer certain channels over others, by having customer service and tech support agents available and ready to meet these consumers via these channels, customer care professionals will be able to provide consumers the key customer service solutions that they need at the time that they need them which improves customer retention rates since consumers naturally look for solutions in a manner that is convenient for them — which includes them finding solutions in a quick manner.
• A competitive advantage can be gained over all competitors that do not prefer omnichannel platforms for communicating with consumers.
  By wholly taking advantage of omnichannel communication and Telecom platforms, startups, small, medium, and large businesses and corporations have the opportunity to get ahead of any competition that does not prefer such channels since they will not only have open access to all and every consumer — but can also mitigate the consumer-felt frustration that comes about from limiting their access to the customer service that they desperately seek out for their pre-sales / post-sales needs; in contrary to this, competitors that limit their consumers’ access to customer service are at risk of forcing their consumers to seek out other businesses / corporations that do not push on them such communication limits.
• Long-term customer satisfaction, customer loyalty, and customer retention can be secured — which secures business’ / corporations’ long-term success.
  By offering consumers the opportunity to reach businesses and corporations via multiple channels of communication, those businesses and corporations that open such means of communication make things easier for consumers when it comes to their search for pre-sales / post-sales support — which boosts their satisfaction of the whole sales experience; when consumers enjoy a thorough and high-quality customer care satisfaction experience, this is wonderful for business because customer loyalty is encouraged — and customer retention rates increase. In other words, one-time shoppers become lifelong brand advocates; when loyalty is inspired, businesses get at no extra cost passionate consumers that act as an extension of each sale effort.
