Call Answering Services for E-Commerce Retailers

It’s a great time to be an e-commerce retailer. You can turn a profit by selling items online, and you don’t have to maintain a large sales floor. Additionally, you can save on staffing costs by not hiring salespeople.

Of course, there are still times when customers will want to have personal contact with a member of your team, so you must have a system in place for handling phone calls. People call your business to:

Get help with the ordering process.
Ask questions about your products or services.
Inquire about order status.
Complain about a product or an experience with your company.

Phone Calls Shape Your Customers’ Impressions

Unfortunately, many of the calls that your e-commerce business receives will begin with a customer’s frustration. People may call because they are having trouble with your online ordering system or haven’t received their items as quickly as expected.

Your response to these calls has the power to shape customers’ opinions of your company. When concerns are handled with professional care, a frustrating situation can be turned into a positive interaction. On the other hand, a bad customer experience over the phone can turn someone away from your company for good and if they leave a bad review it can impact your company long after the fact.

Your customers never meet your team face-to-face. Therefore, everything is riding on those phone conversations.
