Get Immediate Customer Support with Samesurf Co-Browsing

Samesurf invented modern co-browsing.

In a world driven by speed and convenience, waiting on hold, exchanging endless emails or struggling to describe a technical problem over the phone feels antiquated. When a customer has a question, faces a roadblock, or needs assistance, they want help, and they want it now. This expectation for immediate and effective support has redefined what it means to deliver excellent customer service. The solution isn’t just faster chatbots or more FAQ pages; it’s a technology that brings the human element back to the digital experience in real-time. This is the power of Samesurf co-browsing.

Samesurf co-browsing is a patented, no-download technology that allows a customer support agent to join a customer on their browser session, securely and in real-time. It’s the digital equivalent of an agent reaching through the screen to sit beside the customer and help them navigate their issue. This isn’t clunky, old-school screen sharing that can expose a user’s private desktop; it’s a precise, interactive platform that focuses solely on the shared web content.

The Frustration of Disconnected Support

Before we dive into how Samesurf co-browsing provides a solution, let’s acknowledge the common frustrations that plague traditional customer support:

• The “Describe What You See” Challenge: This is the most common and maddening part of phone support. A customer tries to explain an error message, a broken button, or a confusing form to an agent who cannot see what they see. The back-and-forth is inefficient, frustrating, and often leads to miscommunication.
• The Problem of Passive Chat: While live chat offers speed, it’s often a one-dimensional, text-based conversation. Explaining a complex issue or a multi-step process through typing is time-consuming and prone to errors.
• Wasting Time on the Mundane: Customers often contact support for simple issues that could be resolved in seconds if they had a clear visual guide—like navigating to a specific page or finding an account setting. Without a visual tool, these simple tasks can turn into lengthy support calls.
• Lack of Personal Connection: In the digital age, it’s easy to feel like just another ticket number. Traditional support methods often lack the personal touch that builds trust and loyalty.
• Security Concerns with Traditional Screen Sharing: Many customers are hesitant to use older screen-sharing tools due to privacy and security risks, which can expose their entire desktop to the agent.

These issues lead to longer average handling times, lower first-call resolution rates, and, most importantly, frustrated customers who may abandon their purchase or stop using a service altogether. Samesurf co-browsing was designed to solve these problems by making support immediate, visual, and personal.

How Samesurf Co-Browsing Delivers Immediate, Visual Support

The key to Samesurf co-browsing is its ability to create a shared, real-time environment without any friction. Here’s how it empowers agents and delights customers:

• See What I See, Instantly: With a single click, an agent can initiate a co-browsing session. The agent and customer instantly see the exact same web page. This immediate visual context eliminates the need for the customer to verbally explain their problem. The agent can immediately see the error, the stuck form field, or the confusing layout, and begin providing a solution.
• Guided Navigation and Resolution: The agent becomes a guide. They can use a cursor to highlight specific buttons, forms, or text, showing the customer exactly where to click or what to read. This guided navigation is incredibly intuitive and makes complex processes feel simple.
• Eliminate Errors, Accelerate Forms: Many customer support calls are about form completion. With Samesurf co-browsing, an agent can guide the customer through each field, ensuring every piece of information is entered correctly the first time. This not only speeds up the process but also drastically reduces errors that could lead to delays or denials, such as with a loan application or an insurance claim.
• On-Demand Troubleshooting: When a customer encounters a technical issue, an agent can use Samesurf co-browsing to instantly see the problem as it happens. They can work collaboratively to troubleshoot the issue in real-time, whether it’s a login problem, a broken link, or a payment processing error.
• Privacy-First Design: Unlike traditional screen sharing that can show an agent a user’s entire desktop, Samesurf co-browsing is focused solely on the browser tab. This is a critical security feature. Samesurf’s patented technology takes it a step further with element redaction, which automatically hides sensitive information like credit card numbers or social security numbers from the agent’s view. This gives customers the peace of mind to share their screen knowing their private data is protected.
• Seamless Integration: Samesurf co-browsing is not a clunky, stand-alone application. It integrates seamlessly with existing websites, CRMs, and support platforms. Agents can launch a co-browsing session directly from a live chat or a phone call, without requiring the customer to download or install anything. This no-friction experience is essential for immediate support.

The Business Impact: Beyond Customer Satisfaction

The benefits of Samesurf co-browsing ripple throughout a business, significantly improving key performance indicators:

• Increased First-Call Resolution: When agents can see and address the issue on the first interaction, it drastically increases first-call resolution rates.
• Reduced Average Handle Time: Visual guidance and real-time collaboration allow agents to solve problems in a fraction of the time it would take over the phone or text.
• Higher Customer Satisfaction: Customers feel valued and heard when they receive personalized, immediate assistance. The effortlessness of the co-browsing experience leads to higher satisfaction scores and greater loyalty.
• Improved Agent Productivity: Agents are empowered with a tool that allows them to be more effective. The ability to quickly resolve issues reduces frustration for agents, leading to a more positive work environment.
• Boosted Conversions and Sales: When customers are stuck on a purchase form or have last-minute questions, co-browsing allows an agent to intervene at a critical moment. By providing immediate answers and guidance, agents can prevent abandoned carts and close sales.

Samesurf co-browsing is more than a support tool; it’s a strategic asset that transforms a support interaction into an opportunity for engagement and relationship-building. It turns a moment of frustration into a moment of confidence, demonstrating to customers that their time and experience are valued.
