For companies in competitive markets, customer support is a key differentiator. In fact, it can be one of the key reasons a customer decides to renew or churn. But with customer expectations higher than ever, and modern support no longer involving only simple, repeated questions, your front line is often dealing with a high volume of tickets across multiple channels that involve product and process complexity.
As organizations continue to settle into working remotely due to the ongoing crisis, customer service is under strain to deal with the rising volume of inquiries. Understandably, customers are looking for information on how the current situation affects the products and services they rely on. So how can self-service help companies reduce the burden on their agents and employees? To understand that, we had a conversation with Mr. Sagi Eliyahu, the CEO of KMS lighthouse.
Tons of companies have gone remote due to the COVID-19 outbreak. But if your team’s remote, how do you communicate with them? How do you get project updates? How do you conduct meetings? Seems impossible, right? It isn’t! The best remote teams use multiple communication tools to collaborate efficiently. To help you out, we’ll highlight some of the best remote team communication tools for your team.
Surveys after surveys regarding these days’ working environment all reveal one thing: working from home is great. You get to set your own hours, avoid wasting precious time commuting, and you are able to tackle complex work in the comforts of your home. The benefits of working from home can convince even the most avid supporters of 9 to 5 jobs and office-based environments to take the plunge.
For those of us already using Microsoft Teams, the benefits couldn’t be clearer: Microsoft Teams provides everyone with one place to chat, meet, call, and collaborate, no matter where you are. IT professionals who support modern workplace tools like Office 365, and remote meeting platforms like Zoom and WebEx, can greatly benefit from connecting critical applications like Exoprise, directly into the Teams Channels they are already using.

The average office worker receives 121 emails per day. When faced with information overload such as this, it can be easy to let your guard down and fall for a phishing attack. Phishing is one of the largest security threats out there. They take many different forms and often resemble the types of communications you receive every day — internal team communications, special offers from your favorite companies, or specific emails that pertain to your role (support tickets, leads, incidents, etc.).
Sales reps can spend hours scouring channels like LinkedIn for potential leads to add to their pipeline. Even then, there’s no guarantee they’ll find the right contact information for the leads they do generate. All that time spent researching and chasing potential customers can lead to a frustrating dead end. The good news is, lead generation doesn’t have to be time-consuming or fruitless. All you need is a lead-enrichment tool, like Sell Reach.
