San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 25, 2011
UserVoice, creator of simple, customer engagement tools that help companies gather prioritized feedback and give excellent customer support, today announced that its ‘Instant Answers’ system is helping companies cut their overall number of customer support tickets by up to 40%. Built into its integrated, hosted feedback and help desk solution, UserVoice Full Service, Instant Answers enables companies to connect their help requests with available Knowledge Base entries that are likely to give customers the exact information they need instantly. Featuring a new reporting tool launched today, Instant Answers now offers detailed insight on the performance of a companys Knowledge Base. Armed with this data, companies can significantly increase the effectiveness of their Knowledge Base articles – a step that in turn, improves customer satisfaction and saves on average $ 4 and 7 minutes of a support representatives time for each help ticket averted.
We created Instant Answers to help solve an age-old problem – customers ask the same questions over and over again yet most of them never check out a Knowledge Base before submitting a support ticket to see if they can get help faster through an FAQ, said Richard White, founder and CEO at UserVoice. Instant Answers connects customers with Knowledge Base entries right as they are typing in their help requests. Were finding that combined with a solid Knowledge Base, Instant Answers gets customers the help they need instantly and can reduce the number of tickets submitted by a pretty significant amount. The new reporting tool adds even more value by giving companies the added insight they need to build a very powerful Knowledge Base that increases help ticket aversions.
Instant Answers is designed to help companies get the most value out of their Knowledge Base as possible. While some customer support approaches try to force customers to go through a FAQ section before allowing help ticket submissions or hiding contact information altogether, UserVoice offers a better way to get customers the answers they need faster. With Instant Answers, when a customer starts filling out a contact form (either embedded on a companys site or through a UserVoice portal) the Instant Answers(TM) algorithm will instantly pull up Knowledge Base entries and UserVoice Feedback ideas, if available, that match what the customer is typing in. Depending on the depth and breadth of information in a Knowledge Base, the results pulled will provide answers to customers’ questions and avert actual customer support ticket submissions. This approach is a win-win situation – companies have fewer support tickets to deal with, and customers gets their answers quicker.
Now featuring Instant Answers reporting, companies can access the insights they need to build a highly effective, powerful Knowledge Base that answers more customer questions instantly, averts more customer support tickets, and improves overall customer satisfaction. Instant Answers reporting metrics include: the percentage of Knowledge Base entries that are viewed and have successfully averted a support ticket submission, what Knowledge Base articles are viewed most often and what percentage of support requests actually have matching Knowledge Base articles. With the data provided through Instant Answers reporting, companies have the information they need to add articles missing from their Knowledge Base or modify current articles that arent performing well to include more helpful content.
