<h4>Example use cases for Live Chat</h4>
There are many reasons why you could 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.
<h4>Live Chat for Customer Service</h4>
Data from Shopify shows “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 experience. A live chat agent can chat directly with a customer, which leads to increased customer satisfaction.
One of the benefits of live chat is the ability to learn directly from customers. Chatting with a customer who came to your site looking to solve a problem gives you valuable insight into how users interact with your website. Live chat also helps keep customer interactions on-site, rather than having customers take complaints publicly.
<h4>Live Chat for Marketing</h4>
Live chat can help in multiple ways throughout the purchase funnel for your business. 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.
<h4>Live Chat for Sales</h4>
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 products or services they are looking for, nurture leads, and answer questions to offer a smooth experience.
Live chat is also a great opportunity for a sales agent to schedule a product demo. Agents can also encourage customers to share their contact information during the chat in order to follow-up in the future.

<h4>How can chatbots help businesses?</h4>
The use cases for chatbots are varied, but can be broadly categorized into customer service, marketing, and sales tasks. Automated chatbots can staff the chat feature on your site when live chat agents aren’t available. This makes chatbots 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 chatbots across your website based on key landing pages, learn where visitors are in the sales process by asking them questions, and perform specific actions based on visitor actions.
Some popular chatbot use cases include:
<ul>
<li>
Triage: A chatbot 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 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 chatbot 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 menu-based chatbot to answer frequently asked questions from visitors. For example, let’s say you have an event coming up and configure a chatbot with pre-defined buttons the visitor can choose from such as ticket costs, directions, schedule, nearby hotels, and more.
</li>
</ul>
