About The Customer
Harvard Business Services, Inc. is a leading provider of business formation services for Delaware corporations and LLCs. Founded in 1981 by Richard Bell II, the company is based in Lewes, Delaware, and has 24 employees. The company serves a global clientele and has helped its customers form more than 110,000 companies. Sixty percent of its business comes from repeat clients and referrals. The company has a strong commitment to a personalized customer experience and has always used cutting-edge technology to support its growth.
The Challenge
Harvard Business Services, a leading provider of business formation services for Delaware corporations and LLCs, faced several challenges. The company wanted to extend its culture of personalized service to an online channel, increase sales by engaging with customers at moments of confusion, and provide a comfortable channel to assist international customers for whom English is a second language. The company had previously used AOL Instant Messaging as a channel for quick answers to questions that came up during the signup process, but found it was not convenient for clients to connect with them, and the interface wasn’t always user friendly.
The Solution
Harvard Business Services replaced its AOL Instant Messaging channel with LivePerson Click to Chat and Click to Call for sales and customer service inquiries. The company later upgraded to the LiveEngage platform and added credit card payment capabilities, proactive chat, content targeting, and the mobile Click-to-Chat tool to the deployment. The company also made Click-to-Chat buttons more prominent on its website, which doubled live chat volume. The LivePerson solution enabled the company to provide instant access to a live, knowledgeable person, which made a significant difference for many clients. The agent interface allowed agents to see at a glance the approximate location and browsing history of each website visitor, providing a good context for providing help.
Operational Impact
  • Live chat volume doubled after making Click-to-Chat buttons more prominent on the website.
  • 10 percent of all completed transactions involve live chat at some point in the process.
  • Five percent of the company’s database of current customers has had questions answered through the live chat channel in the past year.
Quantitative Benefit
  • 100% increase in live chat volume via more prominent Click-to-Chat buttons (from 30 to 50 daily to 50 to 100)
  • 10% of total transactions used live chat at some point in the process
  • 5% of current customers used live chat in the past year to get questions answered (2,000 out of 40,000)
