We use ProProfs Help Desk for all our customer support verticals, mainly for dealing with customer issues, questions, and requests.
Basically, we use the ticketing system to resolve customer questions instantly via specialized agents. When a customer asks a question, the software automatically creates a ticket and assigns it to an agent who is available. Till an accurate solution isn’t given, it is easy to manage, track, and ask for other agents for help in case it’s needed to close the ticket as soon as possible.
- Sometimes customers ask questions that require more than one agent to look into the matter. For such situations, ProProfs Help Desk has the “child ticket” feature. This literally made my life so so easy! Whenever I was in this situation, all I had to do was create a child ticket and assign it to another agent and give him a heads up on what has been going on. Answering a customer’s question accurately becomes really easy with this feature.
- Our entire team’s performance was always static. We never knew how anyone was performing or was anyone making any difference in the overall company’s value. With this tool, it became easy to see how every agent is performing and whether there was any positive impact on both - the company and our current customer base.
- This tool does route tickets, but the one drawback is that the tickets are;t assigned to a specialized agent. It is randomly assigned to any available agent, and if he doesn’t have expertise in terms of the customer question, it becomes hard to give an accurate answer.
- Giving automatic responses to customers makes our life easy, but we can’t personalize these messages. This sometimes makes our customers feel that they are talking to a bot, making it difficult to answer their questions without them having a hostile reaction to the automated answers.
