Do you have a live chat option on your website? Are you unsure of the benefits it could bring to the lead generation for your business? Are you wondering if you should consider building live chat into your inbound marketing strategy?

CEO Adam Steinhardt and social media expert Zaahn Johnson explain how a live chat option could increase your website conversion rate, help your customers on their buyer journey and gain your customer's trust. Live chat can guide your customers further down your sales funnel.

Sales and marketing software has the benefit of improving lead nurturing and live chat is a great tool to give your customers better customer service.

So What Are the Benefits of Live Chat? 

Having a live chat option allows your customer to directly contact your business.

Your prospects are able to have their questions answered through an easy to use chat interface. Customers like this as they are familiar already with Facebook Messenger and programs like WhatsApp.

This will allow you to solve their problems quickly. As they receive your feedback, you can gain their trust during their buyer's journey before they make a purchase and can improve your customer relationships. 

How Can Live Chat Improve My Conversion Rate?

Are you a small business? To your customers, having a live chat option will create a sense of having a bigger business. Your conversion rate could increase by using live chat as you will provide great customer service with quick and useful information.

How Can I Make it Work?
