Everyone has experienced this situation when brands say that they need approximately 4 to 5 business for completing your simple order. Some impatient customers don’t wait for your reply, they find another way to solve the problem and as a result, the company loses customers. According to Lee Inc, about 91% of customer remains unhappy and are not willing to do the business, if you don’t respond to them frequently.

But Chatbots solves this problem; they always give you an instant response without wasting user’s time. Whenever you asked them, either at 12 am or 12 pm, they immediately analyze the query and give the best answer. Their 24/7 availability shows that they don’t need rest like humans, they are available anytime. Through this approach, brands can elevate the customer experience.

But with Chatbots, you can effectively handle multiple requests, without any delay; in addition, they always make error-free decisions. Since Chatbots integrated with cognitive knowledge, they have the capability to give accurate and reliable responses. The cognitive approach of Chatbots enables them to understand the behavior, taste, and style of users. And after creating an insightful report, their wide memory helps to find the perfect product for their customer. If human performs such task, they might need several hours to do the whole process, but bots perform in less than a second. Thus, they are working as a multitalented agent on behalf of your company.

Provides Friendly Atmosphere

As previously mentioned, Chatbots designed to engage your audience. They build customer engagement by creating a user-friendly environment, by sending unique texts, memes, gifs, and emoticons. Such involvement of fictional character wins the heart of customers and they think there are discussing their choices, preferences, and lifestyle with their friend. A chatbot considered as the best solution for maintaining permanent customers. They always entertain users in a pleasant and delightful way. Being a customer representative, it is somehow difficult to engage your audience for a large period of time. Due to this reason, in the future, the machine-man interaction will be more successful than man-man interaction as predicted by Gartner.

Enabling Diversity

The interface of Chatbot intended to maintain diversity. They treat every individual in the same manner; they don’t care about your class, gender, county and nature, the only thing which matters for them is the satisfaction of customers. The out-of-box features of Chatbots briefly analyze the user approach, background and recommend fruitful option without even getting much explanation.

Chatbots and Human Intelligence

Till now, we have already learned that Chatbots are playing an extraordinary role in boosting customer service. But building Chatbots isn’t enough; there are many companies who have adopted Chatbots, but there are not gaining a required level of customer support. The basic reason is they don’t have proper implementation or they depend too much on them. Chatbots designed to solve simple tasks but if we integrate human intelligence in them, make precise implementation, then they will definitely bring the desired outcome. Brands can only attain best customer support if they know the psychology of humans. By assimilating both human IQ and Chatbots, industries can considerably satisfy users.

They don’t require any training but humans constantly need skills, training, and guidance to attain a high level of customer support. Such intuitive properties of Chatbots provide potential customer support.
