Introduction to Webchat Training

  • Welcome to Web Chat Training.

  • Details on assisting clients through chat, similar to phone support, but without speaking to them.

  • Handle multiple chats simultaneously, unlike the one-on-one phone support.


Expectations

  • Day 1: Training, followed by managing 1 chat for the rest of the shift.

  • Day 2: Handle 1 chat during the first half of the shift, then 2 chats for the second half.

  • Day 3: Start with 2 chats, then take on 3 chats for the remainder of the shift.


Rotation/Volume

You will be tagged for chats as coverage needs and volume dictate.


The order in which you are tagged is determined by several factors:

  • Your shift (What hours are you scheduled to work)

  • QA scores

  • Chat metrics, including the number of chats, chat follow-ups, and chat hours

  • These factors are evaluated every 2-4 weeks.


Beginning your shift

At the start of each shift, log in for calls until instructed to switch to chat.


For chat sessions, log in for text/chat only.

  • Click 'Ready for...'

    • Select 'voice/vm' for calls only.

    • Select 'text/chat' for web chats only.


Avoid selecting both 'voice/vm' and 'text/chat' to prevent receiving calls and chats simultaneously.

  • If both are selected by mistake.

  • Attend to the phone client first.

  • Continuously check in with the web chat client until they can be attended to.

  • Remember to deselect 'voice/vm' to stop receiving calls and focus on web chats.


Accessing web chats

Navigate to the 'CHAT TAB' located on the left side, below the voicemail tab.


Verification Process

  • Do not need to verify on chat as long as we can pull up the account.

  • Should verify if info they are giving info that does not seem to match up – vehicle, address, etc.

V2/V3 PLUS

  • When you have multiple chats, you will need v2 for one account and v3 for another account

    • 2 chats – v2 for one account and v3 for the other account

    • 3 chats – 2 chats in v2 and 1 in v3 or 2 chats in v3 and 1 in v3.
