Managing an effective hierarchy for your online company is extremely important to run your business smoothly. By incorporating live chat software in your website, you can easily manage a relatively simpler workforce for your online company in a reasonable budget. There is no need to invest in hiring a big staff because live chat cuts down the manpower to a greater extent.

Designing your company's hierarchy needs high expertise, for which you have to hire the industry experts who can design your working team in a way that it could give out maximum output for your business. The task becomes even tougher for e-businesses because here you do not have a physical e-store which usually has a manager, a receptionist and sales persons.

However, still you need to design a team of sales persons and greeters for your virtual shop. The easiest and cost-effective option to manage your company's hierarchy is to incorporate live chat software in your website. Serving as a complete package for online businesses, live chat helps you keep up your hierarchy in highly efficient and professional manner. The live chat is a multi-purpose business tool; therefore, you do not need to spend much on hiring a big workforce to get your sales and customer service tasks done.

Easy to handle, live chat requires you to manage a relatively simpler hierarchy other than designing a complex staff for which you not only need to invest huge expenses but also a long time.

Here is the simpler hierarchy you can design for providing an online chat support.

Managers

Managers while using live chat software's real-time monitoring feature keep an-eye on the visitors' activities on their website. They can easily trace out the geographical location of a visitor and even they can also keep a track of chats, a particular chat agent takes on, at one time.

Supervisor

Supervisors are those, who are to supervise a live chat support service on the whole to assure the real implementation of a company's sales, marketing and customer service policies. From the chat transcripts to real time support, everything is being supervised on the regular basis. They also need to supervise the live chat operators so that a smooth and efficient online customer service can be assured.

Live Chat Operators

Live chat operators are perhaps the most prominent part of your hierarchy as they are to handle your live support service on the whole. They have to take on multiple roles simultaneously – which may be named as greeters, customer service agents, and sales advisors. For a visitor, who has just landed on a website, a live chat operator serves as a front desk attendant to greet him proactively, by sending a text-message. However, when a live chat operator approaches a visitor on the different instants during his journey on your website by using real time monitoring feature, he acts as a customer service agent to provide potential client with all the necessary help they need while making a purchase. However, when a live chat agent engages a customer in a live chat session and provides him on-the-spot answers of his questions, he acts as a sales advisor.

You may also have web-designers and other IT experts in your company's hierarchy but they do not have a direct relation in executing live support service. Designers and IT experts can easily make customization in your web designs and live chat windows.

Live support service in UAE and other business hubs, is equally helpful in managing a top class hierarchy for an online store.
