As a customer seeking a product or service, what is the most common exploratory steps one takes? Quick, easy poll among friends and family, or say on social media – twitter, FB, IG to name a few. “I need a recommendation” , “Has any one tried product X?”, “How do I research or the best X” and similar.
Though digitally engaged and connected, one appreciates the comments, feedback and guidance from the network. It sets a sense of belonging to a tribe to collect information. In most high value transaction engagement such as home purchase, mortgage buying, financial management/investment a customer often interacts with multiple agents(SMEs).
Creating the social network effect for customer engagement initiation and fulfillment results in valuable customer satisfaction.

Now to manage above with messaging interface, whether it is text only or a mix of channels text + social + webchat and more needs similar effort starting by studying the interaction points. As the customer starts an engagement or returns to an existing conversation/ticket, it becomes necessary that the agent assisting the customer have access to all conversations and be able to invite other available SMEs into the current conversation as necessary.
Such situations call for the need to be engaging in a shared or group chat, representing a team rather than transfer the conversation to a new agent, as would be with call transfers. A perfect scenario for managing Shared Conversation. Instant assistance and quick responses most positively impact nature of closing a transaction and building customer loyalty.
Establishing meaningful conversations lead to successful conversions.
