It’s usually beautifully finished, a complex and professional cake. A professionally made cake on Nailed It Contestants are given a…

This was a really fun piece to write and we’re planning a fun Google Hangouts live video to debate these points further. Stay tuned for that, but for now, here’s a snippet of our blog post – click through to read more. 💥  What fires you up…

Winning Live Chat Training for Your Customer Service Team

Posted: July 10, 2018

Implementing live chat for your customer service team might seem like a major decision—and it is!—but it is only the first step in modernizing your customer service strategy. Luckily, implementing a live chat system on your website is often pretty simple, but a tool isn’t useful if your teams aren’t trained to use it properly, and aren’t fully on board with its potential to make life easier.
