Soft skills

Chat skills for agents who have never used the channel.

We built an online LMS course for one reason: to remove the fear of using chat as a service channel. It is designed to give confidence to agents who have never handled a live chat session.

Format

Self-paced online course delivered through an LMS, assignable to individuals or whole teams.
