Overall Satisfaction with Intercom
My organization used Intercom to gather customer data, to drive our marketing messaging. We have used it for months, and it has helped us really understand the types of information our eCommerce customers require before making a purchase. For example, we were able to understand that our customers were looking for quantity discounts, so we delivered that. Then we were able to test the messaging of these discounts for clarity and voila! satisfied, scalable customer validation!
- Live Chat. Intercom was a great way for our fledgling company to gather important information from our customers across the entire buyer journey.
- Post-purchase support - We were able to address shipping concerns right on our site.
- Integrations - We were able to integrate Intercom with so many of our other marketing tools.
- The organization of messages on the back-end needs some work. It's hard to segment messages into groups.
- Intercom doesn't have enough power to offer in-app support (for us) - we transitioned to another tool for this specific element.
- It's amazing for sales and eCommerce or SaaS sites - But not hardware startups, or for long-term support.
- We were able to respond to customer needs much more quickly thanks to qualitative data
- We were able to engage with multiple customers quickly and easily from anywhere
- Enabled us to hire our first remote employee to handle support needs
