Looking for the best agents in a chat support company can be a difficult task. Especially if there is a lot to choose from. In the Philippines, there are more than 800 BPO companies that offer this assistance.
Live chat outsourcing becomes a trend as more people rely on their phones to browse products. Therefore, they tend to interact with businesses through text. Meanwhile, phone call conversation becomes less popular because of inconvenience.
So, what are the qualities of the agent that you should look for? Let us take a look at some of it:
Of course, if a BPO company will represent you, they need to know your services. However, aside from awareness, agents must go through product training. This is to ensure that all customers’ inquiries will have an accurate answer.
Good thing, contact centers in the Philippines provide thorough training for their agents. Make sure to partner with a BPO that can adapt to the vision of your company. It will also help with the image branding.

A call center agent can only talk to one customer at a time. On the contrary, the chat support can interact with multiple customers at the same. Thus, these agents need to have the ability to do many tasks simultaneously.

The majority of companies that solved customers’ problems in the first interaction improved by 30% in their service. It is because the client appreciates a quick resolution to their issue. Thus, they have a higher tendency to purchase your product or service again.
