Co-browsing and the phone. You’ll probably never know how simple this is.

Co-browsing will soon be default for phone and
VOIP service providers. It gives the support agent the gift of sight and it’s
hard to take away that sight once you’ve used it.

Giving support agents the ability to see their own customers on their own
website is both obvious and becoming the default service in major phone
service providers.

Saying ‘the cloud’ has almost become odd

As services move to the cloud and even saying the words ‘the cloud’ seems odd,
the ability to guide a user on your website app gives an agent the ability to
resolve a call 10X faster, especially on the most difficult calls.

Everyone is moving to ‘the cloud’

It’s all there in the details

Lets say a loan applicant is stuck filling in a form which won’t submit
because their social security number is incorrect.

The agent attempts to direct the applicant on the phone verbally to check for
errors or incorrect fields.

Co-browsing means the conversation is cut to seconds by instantly seeing the
form
and highlighting the social security field.

Unlike old school screen sharing, co-browsing lets you see the user on your
own website
, without needing to see the entire
screen. It’s secure, you don’t see any of their desktop folders or pictures.
Only the agents own website.

Co-browsing is being installed by phone and live chat companies.

These are some of the early movers who have built co-browsing into their
systems or offer it as an add-on.

8X8 (integrated directly)

RingCentral (integrated directly)

Intercom (offered as add-on via
Upscope)

LivePerson (integrated directly)

It’s moving faster than expected.

As awareness builds and it becomes a default system, those left behind will
see the impact in stages.

Co-browsing itself is developing.

The product is in it’s basic stages and the next evolution is beginning even
as some are only learning about it.

Simple secure steps to take a giant leap ahead

Integrating co-browsing with a phone service is probably one of the simplest
integrations because you may not need one.

The user has phoned in and co-browsing solutions like
Upscope come with ‘support codes’ the
user can read out for the agent to go directly to their screen. They are 2
separate systems that work together like magic.
