Today, the first touchpoint between you and your customers is almost always virtual. Companies have become condensed into pages of search results and one could only hope for their website to be clicked on by potential customers. Not only so but companies are now dealing with well-informed customers who have probably visited a few other similar companies and are just weighing their options. And still, the interaction does not stop here. With the development in communications technology, customers approach companies from all directions and all channels, SMS, WhatsApp, Facebook and more!

A company is no longer defined solely by its products and services. Customers evaluate companies inside out which means, how companies communicate with customers has become more important than ever.

In response, companies need to manage customer enquiries and ensure no customers get disconnected along their way. One moment, you receive a Facebook message inquiring about your latest product, another moment you receive comments on the Instagram post you posted about an ongoing promotion. Regardless, customers want their questions to be answered quickly and accurately. As a result, companies are actively present on multiple social media and communications platforms. It is inevitable to feel the need to be equally if not more present.

Seamless customer support is now a necessity, not a luxury. To remain competitive, companies need to provide top notch customer support with minimal resources. It is insufficient to be just present. Companies need to be able to respond effectively and efficiently to customers on all channels. Interaction defines a company's presence.
