5 reasons managed live chat is a must for your website

Written by Andy Soloman | 20/06/18 11:13

Whether you’re looking to drive more sales, increase lead generation, or improve the customer service and support that you offer online, having managed live chat on your website will make a huge difference to the performance of your business.

There are so many reasons why having managed live chat on your website is a no-brainer. But we appreciate you don’t have all day, so here are just five key reasons…

1: Time is money 

Time is something we all seem to have so little of these days. Any business that can buy a few minutes back for its web visitors is going to win in the customer satisfaction game. If you can offer a fantastic customer experience you’ll be rewarded many times over with impressive website performance metrics, such as bounce rate, time on site, pages per visit…and ultimately sales!

 

2: It gives you the human touch

Doesn’t your heart just sink when you’re using live chat and you realise you’re in fact “chatting” with a robot? And even more so when they don’t know what you’re talking about! Us humans are, by our very nature, social creatures and today's consumers want to feel connected to a brand. This is why our customers love the fact that a real-life human being talks to their web visitors.

 

 

3: Real-time support

Having access to services like on-demand TV, superfast internet connections, live news feeds and social media mean that as consumers, we want – and expect – immediate answers. If your website is even slightly difficult to navigate around, you are at risk of losing business to a brand that can deliver what your visitor wants NOW. Offering managed live chat on your website 24/7 and you can direct your visitors to exactly where they need to be to increase the likelihood of getting that conversion.

4: Always open

Our figures show that 52% of online research is done outside of business hours. What would you do if you went to a shop and couldn’t find what you needed, but there was no-one there to help you? You’d walk out, wouldn’t you? Well the same can be said of your website. You have to be there to help your customers at a time that suits them - not you – or you will lose out!

 

 

5: Stand out from your competitors

Having a top-of-the-range live chat service on your website is a true differentiator. So many business owners that we speak to have used live chat, but don’t offer it to their own customers. By having intelligent, fully-managed live chat on your website, you are setting yourselves apart from your competition.
