• You might think that soft skills are less important for a web-based role than they are for other, face-to-face customer service jobs. But its not enough to Acrobatically answer questions in live chat.
  
  So, another of the live chat agent responsibilities is to make the conversations they have with customers meaningful. And that requires soft skills.
