Converting potential customers into buyers takes time and effort. Especially today, when they can easily find many options online, and choose a competitor's solution.
80% of customers say that the buying experience the company provides is just as important as its products. A logical solution for enhancing the shopping experience was introducing a chat with a consultant or chatbot.
It certainly bridges the gap between traditional customer service and online interaction, but how much does chat by itself increase conversion?
Selling through chat correspondence with a consultant or bot lacks the essential element: the effect of personal interaction and presence.
Remember how many times you yourself closed the dialog box with a consultant and stopped responding?
Thus, the absence of the effect of face-to-face interaction, as in offline interactions with customers, reduces the likelihood of closing a deal.
The first 5 minutes of interaction are critical in the buying process.
The problem is that basic chatbots or conversations with online advisors often don't satisfy customers because the answers are either too general or the customer is redirected to a form or general FAQ page, which generally requires them to perform multiple actions.
Completing a transaction online should be a seamless process. If customers have to send multiple messages or take dozens of actions to resolve their issue, it's a missed opportunity to convert a lead into a sale.
So what's the alternative? How can you offer a unique customer experience and increase conversions?
Conversational selling is an online sales method based on interacting with customers using online tools while reducing digital touch points.
The focus of conversational sales is on using conversation at all stages of the customer's journey through the sales funnel.
This strategy has been proven to increase online conversion rates, improve customer service and extend the sales cycle.
A video is a key tool for implementing a new approach to online sales.
With video, brands are breaking down the barriers that prevent customers from buying online. It bridges the gap between the physical and online presence, guiding customers through all phases of the buying decision, while reducing their efforts.
In this way, the video brings the conversion rate of online sales closer to that of on-site sales. Or even makes that ratio even higher.
Compare for yourself:
Consequently, looking at the statistics: the use of a single chat is not enough for high online sales!
However, by simply incorporating video into your online communication you can easily raise your online sales to the level of in-person sales.
