Why Live Chat is
needed for Your
Business
 Live Chat is an online marketing, live support and web
analytics application for SMB and large enterprises
offered in SaaS (software as a service) model.
 The trouble with online shopping is that many
customers are disconnected from someone who can
answer their questions in real time with precision.
 Watching potential customers click away from their e-
commerce sites, many businesses have been adding
live chat support.
 Live chat has the ability to provide the convenient
answers that customers want.
 It also provides significant benefits to the staff and
bottom line of companies.
1 Live Chat is Convenient for Customers
 44% of online consumers say that having questions
answered by a live person while in the middle of an
online purchase is one of the most important features
a Web site can offer.
- “Making Proactive Chat Work” by Forrester Research
 90% of customers consider live chat helpful.
- ATG Global Consumer Trend study
 63% were more likely to return to a website that
offers live chat.
- an emarketer.com survey
 An online chat system provides customers immediate
access to help.
How Live Chat can improve your business
2 Live Chat Cuts Down on Expenses
 Live chat software has consistently demonstrated that
it can save on both employee task time and phone
expenses.
 Live chat reduces overall contact centre costs by
lowering average interaction costs.
 Increases efficiency by allowing live chat
representatives to handle multiple chats
simultaneously, thus reducing the need to hire more
representatives.
3 Live Chat Increases Sales
 “In 2008, Wells Fargo made a second attempt to
leverage online chat to drive sales, and happily, this
time the results have been crystal clear. High customer
satisfaction scores and a double-digit increase in
converted shoppers have shown the value once and
for all of this technology.”
-Forbes magazine
 The key is that customers have someone who can
immediately walk them through a sale if they become
confused or have a question that can make or break a
sale.

Live Chat Gives You An Edge of Your
Competition
 If you want to gain an edge on the competition, live
chat is a key feature that websites must have in order
to be competitive and to hopefully rise to the top.
 Live chat provides a simple way to connect with
customers who spend a good deal of their money
online.
 “Almost two in 10 live chat respondents did more than
75% of their holiday shopping online, compared with
14% of those who did not chat. A further 25% of
chatters made 51% to 75% of their purchases on the
Web, versus just 10% of those who did not participate
in the chat service.”
- The report by E-Marketer
5 Live Chat Taps into Customer Pain Points
 A customer’s frustration or need that has yet to be
filled is called a pain point.
 Pain points can turn into sales opportunities with
customers.
 Live chat provides immediate access to customers’
pain points.
 As live chat representatives talk to customers, they
can find out ways to improve a company’s products
and services.
Tips on Making Live Chat go the Extra Mile
for Your Business
 Train your team.
 Be aware of your shopping hours.
 Don’t be too robotic.
 Consider hiring people with sales experience.
 Don’t forget to boost your social.
 Be prepared for surges in chat volume.
 Give your customers helpful chat features.
