Set your goals
We want to be sure you get off to a flying start. As the saying goes, to be prepared is half the victory, and the best preparation is knowing what you want to achieve. Therefore, the first thing we advise you to do is to decide on which goals you want to reach with your chatbot.
There are probably many things coming to your mind when thinking of goals for your chatbot. Here it’s important to consider when your chatbot would be a success for you. Do you want to automate at least 60% of your FAQ’s? Or do you want to generate at least 20 new leads per week? Success can mean a lot of different things. To help you along, here’s a list of some of the most common goals for chatbots to achieve:
Reduce incoming emails, phone calls or chats
Reduce costs for the Customer Service department
Let Customer Support agents work more effectively
Increase customer satisfaction
Reduce churn
Growing your social media channels
Of course, your goals can be anything you want, so try to think of all the ways you want your new chatbot to have an impact on your business.
Measure your success
When you've chosen which goals you want to achieve with your chatbot, you’ll also want to add the right KPI’s to your goals. After all, you want to be able to measure whether your chatbot has reached these goals or not. Some examples of relevant KPI’s are:
