Episode description
In this episode I talk about why chatbots are so important and how your business can gain from this useful service. The chatbot, or virtual agent, will fill in for those mundane tasks that often drain the life of customer reps, making everyone’s life so much better and free up agent time so that they can focus on the bigger issues customers are facing. Chatbots can get rid of all the filler time that is used for gaining general information that agents waste so much time on, making each customer interaction that much more efficient.
