Gorgias

What's the first task ?outside of work? you would automate? It's true, we've been laser-focused on automation thanks to the recent launch of our AI Agent. So when the mics came out at CX Connect, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to become investigative journalists, and ask CX leaders this hard-hitting question. Your turn ?? Sky's the limit, creativity's the name of the game, what's the first task you're automating? (PS - laws of physics don't apply). [Huge thanks to our patient participants: Amanda Kwasniewicz, Roma Yumul, Molly Wallace Kerrigan, Jessica Botello, Kevin Gould, Zoe Kahn, Caela Castillo, Ronak Shah, Anne Dyer, Ren Fuller-Wasserman, Alexandria Collis, and Danny Taing]. #CX #Automation #AI #CustomerExperience

Stronger Together at Gorgias ???? ?? The 2024 retreat season has come to a close! Over the past few months, our P&E, Support, Marketing, Sales & Partnerships, and People teams have come together IRL in fun destinations across the globe. ?? These meetups weren’t just about aligning on priorities for 2025 or reflecting on learnings from 2024 (though we did plenty of that!). They were about forging deeper connections — within teams and across the entire organization. ??? At Gorgias, we believe in the power of in-person moments to strengthen collaboration, spark innovation, and build a sense of belonging that keeps us inspired. We’re feeling recharged, refocused, and ready to take on the future—together. To every team member who joined and contributed: THANK YOU. Your energy, ideas, and drive are what make Gorgias extraordinary.

What a week with the Gorgias team in Algarve, Portugal! ???? Highlights of our time together: - Aligning on how Gorgias AI can better serve more ecommerce brands in 2025 and beyond. - Sharing great ideas and incredible passion for the tactics to achieve that vision. - Finally diving into Screen Studio and Raycast —even for late adopters like me ??. Guillaume Aubert and Calvin Leung, I promise we’re catching up fast! - The "broken phone" exercise in 5+ languages—and those unforgettable killer winks. Huge thanks to Chris de Jong for organizing such a seamless retreat, Max SUTRA for your thoughtful approach to Enterprise, and Justin Holmes for initiating the idea of this retreat. Grateful for this amazing time together! With 15,000+ brands already in our community, we’re more committed than ever to serving even more ecommerce brands in 2025 and beyond. ??

Excellent customer support *especially during BFCM* is everything. Name a brand that’s crushing their CX game ??

BFCM’s been talked about for months. But let’s be real—some of you are still scrambling. It’s fine. Here are three tips to help you survive (and pretend you had everything already planned with Convert ??) 1?? Start conversations via live chat Shoppers don’t need another generic full screen pop up and/or email campaign with a predictable discount. They need help picking the right product. Talk to them. 2?? Reduce abandoned carts Your shoppers didn’t forget… they’re just having decision paralysis. Offer tailored incentives they can't refuse with an exit intent campaign. 3?? Capture emails with compelling messages (make sure to A/B test) If they won’t buy today, at least get their email so you can bother them later lol. Throw in a “sign up for early access” campaign. Subtle? No. Effective? Yes. You got this. Or at least Convert does.
