Web Chat for the Win-Win: Drive Online Sales Through Conversations

Let’s face it–not having a web chat for your webshop would be the same as having no shop assistant in a massive brick and mortar store. Smartsupp offers every live chat tool you will likely need in order to reap big business benefits for your online store, driving sales through conversations.

Genuinely connect with your visitors
From our reviews

Picture this…

You go into a big, beautiful store with myriads of goods displayed neatly along the length of every wall. This store bears resemblance to a mirage, some kind of bountiful and elaborate labyrinth offering an endless number of material options specialized for your needs–all potentially satisfying–but, also possibly disappointing if you select something that was not what you wanted or needed. The daunting task of having to find the right option on your own seems ludicrous, so you set about to find assistance. As you walk down the maze of aisles, your fear of having to navigate this luxurious and almost excessively large shop begins to accumulate–you say to yourself, where in the heck is the shop assistant? I literally need somebody to talk to so that I know I’m making the right product choice*.*

As you aimlessly meander through this gigantic and unpleasantly tantalizing wealth of goods, your frustration finally begins to settle into the equation. Still…no…help! And, that’s when it hits you: Why did I come to this amazing store when there are so many others just like it?

If you do not have the right web chat solution to help your customers receive the assistance they need then you are bound to lose loads of valuable business opportunities.

As you turn the next corner of the aisle you finally feel a sense of relief when you realize that you are staring at the exit, and since there is still no shop assistant around to help answer your questions, you make a beeline straight to the doors. Ironically, as you leave through the exit, you don’t realize that you just missed the friendly and knowledgeable shop owner Dolores who finally rears her head out from back-office inventory to check the shop for visitors after spending hours ensuring that all of her stock was taken accordingly. But alas, it was too late and she missed you, and she has therefore not only lost your business today, but also lost it in the future since you will not deal with that headache ever again. If only Dolores had a webshop with a web chat to drive online sales instead…

Why web chat?

Web chat offers a wealth of sales opportunities for online businesses. But also, it is a customer care tool that helps you engage in person-to-person conversation with visitors whom you do not have the luxury to meet in-person. Nowadays, not having a web chat on your online store would literally be like a massive brick-and-mortar store without a shop assistant. No matter how good of quality your products are, or how nicely you display them on your web, or even how well you take stock to make sure that you always have the right number of each product, if you do not have the right web chat solution to help your customers receive the assistance they need then you are bound to lose loads of valuable business opportunities.
