Hi,

First things first! We want to share Home with you—a new section in our app. You can see all the important data when you log in to the app, including ongoing chats or the number of sales your agents made with LiveChat.

Once you check that out, you can focus on improving customer service performance. Our Partners offer LiveChat training to help agents chat with ease. Don’t think too long about it: there’s a discount valid for 2 weeks. Then, you can learn how to plan and organize your agents’ work and how you can motivate them (don’t say they don’t need it!).

Home section for a good start

The Home section is a place you see once you log in to the LiveChat app. It shows you all the important metrics you should care about. You can see visitors online, ongoing chats, unassigned tickets and logged in agents.

You can also check the reports from the last 7 days and monitor your goals, customer satisfaction, or the number of sales your agents made with LiveChat. It’s all there in one place!

LiveChat agent training with award-winning methods

Providing a great LiveChat experience is in your agents’ hands (or fingertips to be precise). Help them chat with ease by providing proper training!

Our Partners from the Chat Shop offer training for beginning and intermediate agents, using award-winning methodologies! Trainings are in the form of a single, interactive video call. You can choose:

1 hour training in form of interactive video call that introduces LiveChat software and best practices.

4 hour training that upskills chat agents through analysis of business goals and brand promises that you can build, monitor and deliver on chat.

Special deal: 10% discount for each course until June 12th.

Motivate your agents (aka Support Heroes)

Planning and organizing come first, but what about the agents’ motivation to perform tasks? You probably think they should find it within themselves. Well, you’re right. Yet, they also need external incentives in their workplace (free pizza, anyone?).

Check out some ideas from our Community to motivate agents to perform better at their jobs!
