If you’ve ever taken calls and worked on a support desk, then you’ve likely experienced that customer who needs to have a “pound of flesh” from you before you’re able to have an opportunity to really help them. This is an unfortunate reality for many service representatives throughout the day.
Imagine the time savings and, perhaps even more important, the reduction in service fatigue, if those persons would simply allow the technician to focus on resolving the issue, showing them ‘how to’ or provide the answer to their question.
Who do you know that seems to enjoy shouting their opinions and “talking over” others on social media? Now consider that same person and those times when you have had a face-to-face conversation. Very often people do not “talk” to you the way in person as they do when they are behind a keyboard. The same is true with interactions with service representatives taking phone calls versus those standing at the counter dealing with a customer issue.
Service leaders are forced to spend valuable resources training their technicians on techniques to lower the temperature of the caller, including things to say when a customer is upset about the product or service.
Seeing the service technician using video-chat has a similar effect on customer interactions.
Humanizing the support experience with video allows the customer to immediately realize that the technician is a person who, after looking into their eyes, realizes that he/she is there to help.

Lowering the temperature of the call saves time, reduces technician burnout, and positively impacts the most common service desk / call center KPI’s.
