Offer live chat only when it suits you
Capture, qualify, and engage with leads when you’re available, and when you’re not
Never leave a lead hanging
Offering live chat doesn’t mean you have to be available 24/7. Automated forms and chatbots will only offer live chat when you’re available. When you’re not, they’ll automatically offer a scheduled meeting instead. This way you’ll never miss an opportunity to engage with a lead.
Even if your default method of lead engagement is scheduled meetings, it’s not your only option. Your chatbots and forms identify piping hot leads, so don’t delay meeting with them. Offer hot leads an instant live chat instead of a scheduled meeting so you never miss the opportunity to convert.
