USE-CASES OF CHATBOT
<ul>
<li>Lead Generation via chat inside websites. There is no better way to interact with visitors and grab their contact information, than an interactive chatbot. The human-friendly bot is capable of changing the conversation flow depending on user interaction. It gets you the data to drive email campaigns and marketing programs.</li>
<li>Appointment booking using the chatbot. Don’t go back and forth emails between a customer to find the right time to book a call. Do it on the spot. Our appointment booking shows the times that you are available in their timezone. All they have to do is pick a time and you will get the event saved on Google Calendar.</li>
<li>Automating data collection with chatbot integrations. With too many information coming in, it’s vital to organise and work on each inquiry, one at a time. This where the integrations play a part. On top of getting email notifications, you can send the data to Google Sheets, or a CRM of your choice like Hubspot or even create a support ticket in, let’s say FreshDesk.</li>
<li>Substitute a dedicated livechat team and save money. Having a livechat team available 24×7 would be awesome. But many small businesses can’t do that. This is why we recommend using a chatbot on the website. The first touch point is from the chatbot and then based on the lead qualification system, you can decide whether or not guide the user to a live chat system or not. This approach has saved a lot of time and $$$ for our end customers.</li>
<li>Survey and Feedback collection. There is no nice way to do a survey or ask for feedback. It’s one of the hardest tasks to get people to fill them in. However, our customers have had more success with our interactive chatbots. The completion rate on our chatbot tool is higher than most of our competitors.</li>
</ul>

Popular Use Cases for Live Chat:
There are a variety of reasons you might be interested in adding a live chat feature to your site. Most commonly, site owners are looking to chat in real-time with visitors in order to offer better customer service or to generate sales.
Live Chat for Customer Service
Data from ecommerce platform Shopify shows that “businesses that respond to a customer’s chat within five minutes are 69% more likely to get a sale.” Customers don’t like hunting around for information or waiting for responses, and live chat offers the best possible customer experience. A live chat customer service agent can speak directly to a customer, providing a personal experience leading to increased customer satisfaction.
One of the benefits of live chat that businesses often overlook is the ability to learn directly from customers. Speaking to a customer who came to your site looking to solve a problem or answer a question gives you valuable insight into how real people interact with your website. Live chat customer service also helps keep customer interactions on-site, rather than seeing frustrated customers take their complaints to a public forum like social media.
Live Chat for Marketing
Live chat can help in multiple ways throughout the purchase funnel for your business. Talking to real human beings is one of the ways we are all most comfortable learning about new products and services, and a skilled marketer communicating to site visitors via a live chat widget can provide great opportunities to educate and engage potential customers.
A live chat widget is an effective way to increase your visitor-to-lead conversion rate. By engaging potential customers right away, you’re reducing the number of visitors who “bounce” off your site. And you can also use live chat to pre-qualify leads, determining a visitor’s actual interest level in what you have to offer.
Live Chat for Sales
Using live chat to help convert site visitors into customers is often referred to as “conversational sales.” Your live chat sales team can help visitors find the products or services they are looking for quickly, can nurture leads brought to the site by marketing programs, and can answer ordering or billing questions as needed to offer a smooth transaction experience.
Live chat is also a great opportunity for a sales agent to schedule a product demonstration or training session, which can be especially helpful for sites that provide things like business software. And agents can also encourage satisfied customers to share their contact information as part of the chat, in order to continue the personalized interaction in the future.

How can live chat bots help businesses?
The uses of live chat bots on business websites are varied, but can be broadly categorized into customer service, marketing, and sales tasks. Automated chat bots can staff the live chat feature on your site when live chat agents aren’t available. The flexibility provided by custom bots makes them an efficient solution for handling common sales and support tasks, while freeing up your team to handle more complex inquiries. For example, you can configure multiple bots across your website based on key landing pages, learn where visitors are at in the sales process by asking them questions and collecting input, and perform specific actions based on visitor selection.
Some of the popular chat bot use cases include:
<ul>
<li>
Triage: A live chat bot can greet site visitors and ask them to choose from several pre-defined answer buttons to guide them down a given path, similar to an automated phone system. For example, the bot can show options such as ‘I’m new & want to learn more’, ‘Track my order’, ‘Change my password’, ‘Technical help’, along with ‘Other’ if nothing matches the reason for their visit, along with a multitude of other button options based on your business needs.
</li>
<li>
Lead Qualification: To collect contact information from site visitors as a means to generate leads, and ask additional qualifying questions to determine the size of the opportunity, gauge the customer’s interest and where they are at in the buying cycle, or route them right to your sales team or even book a demo on your calendar.
</li>
<li>
Scheduling: With the Calendly scheduling feature, a live chat bot can be configured to display your Calendly calendar directly inside the live chat widget for the visitor to choose from any available dates and times for a demo or phone consultation.
</li>
<li>
Frequently Asked Questions: A custom menu-based bot can be used to preemptively answer frequently asked questions from site visitors. For example, let’s say you have a conference event coming up and configure a live chat bot with pre-defined buttons where the visitor can quickly choose from topics such as ticket costs, directions to the event, parking tips, event schedule, guest speakers participating, nearby hotels, and more. This can work for a virtual conference as well.
</li>
<li>
ChatGPT Chatbot: A ChatGPT Bot dramatically reduces support time by automatically responding to visitor questions at any time — day or night — using the power of ChatGPT’s Artificial Intelligence. A ChatGPT Bot is different from the other bot types since it allows visitors to enter a free-form question, and replies with the most relevant answer based on how it has been trained over time.
