“Customers need fast, easy communication with brands via the channels they are already using in their daily lives. Whether it’s on the phone, text, or social media, businesses need to meet customers where they are, or risk losing out to the competition,” says Olga Lagunova, Chief Product and Technology Officer, GoTo. “For a business to grow and build customer loyalty, it is important to offer customers a variety of quick and easy communication options, and WhatsApp is one of the fastest-growing communication channels in the world. With the addition of WhatsApp as a channel into the GoTo Connect platform, we’re providing seamless customer engagement that is in reach for businesses of any size.”
