Live Chat or Live Help is useful for high value products

  #1  
Aug 8th, 2007
Live Chat is specifically useful for high value products. People can’t just see the product images and order them. They need a human touch to their buying process. They need to have a real feel to their buying. They want assurance and some sort of personal feel. Now with a Live Chat support system he can have all this.According to recent research it has been found that more than 90% of visitors leave the website without making a transaction. This is indeed a very disheartening thing for websites and makes online selling a difficult job. To become successful at online operations it becomes necessary to understand why these customers left our website without making any transaction. Having a virtual salesman provides the solution to this problem by keeping a track of visitors and helping them all along.

If your site is interactive and you have a solid knowledge base, I don't think you need a chat software.

They're talking more of an ecommerce-style site where someone can interact with a live salesperson (like in a chat window type thing) before making the purchase.

Thanks for the info. Live chat or online chat is a better idea and it is very helpful to a site. The possible clients can ask questions about the company products, services and online inquiry as well.

I have been using http://www.jbTop.com Live Chat for a couple years. From my experience there is no so many people clicking on "Live Chat" button. It is hard to say why.
About 50% of chatters just coming because of curiosity.
So I think it is not so effective as it seemed.
