Considering the following for your site:
• Understand that tablet is more similar to desktop than smartphone
• Consider how users use mobile devices (tap vs. click, landscape
vs. portrait, reach)
• Leverage VOC analytics to increase visibility to key mobile
usability issues
• Test multiple button designs and placements – particularly proactive tooltips
• Test multiple chat window design and experiences
• Make chat engagements easier – toggle to site, tap responses, faster agent responses,
voice to text promotion
• Use alternative products on mobile – product selection guides are a hit

T-Mobile Confidential
Service Chat - Why?• Internet, SMS, Social Engagement, Instant Messaging (IM) and “The Smartphone”.
• These innovations have created a generation of consumers that interact through Text/IM and there is a naturally growing demand for self service and service chat.
• We are a technology rich company that specializes in mobile communications. We are up to speed with human communication trends because we have to be!
• T-Mobile agents (Sales & Care) interacted 1,432,495 times in Q1 & Q2 2015. There is Demand for Chat!!!
• 91% of service chat visitors who interacted with us were either “satisfied” or “extremely satisfied” with their personal experience. It is an easy channel to improve CSAT.
• Ongoing innovation and trends continue to push toward Self Help Concepts (refer to George's slides 17 and 24,Mobile Chat, Auto Authentication)

• Resolution– Our chat agents are a Team of Experts!
